Initial start up
WARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING, USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION TO TEST ALL
JOINTS FOR GAS LEAKS.
Pre-Power On
Clean the preservative coating from the griddle plate and splashguard.
Add a mild detergent to hot water and wash the griddle plate and
splashguard. Rinse with a damp sponge and dry with a clean rag.
Plug the unit into a 115-volt power supply.
Power On
When the griddle is turned on for the first time, after being connected to
power and gas, it may take it several tries to purge the gas lines and
ignite the burners. If any of the burners fail to light during the initial trial
for ignition the spark module will enter a lock out situation and the
controller must be cycled off and then back on.
Once the burners ignite the griddle will automatically preheat the griddle
to its default temperature of 125
°
F (52
°
). This can be preset to a different
temperature at the factory if notified.
Season the griddle
1. When the burners go OFF, apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted
vegetable oil to the griddle surface.
2. Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a
towel.
3. Recoat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off
any excess oil.
4.
Repeat the seasoning process at 350
°
F (117
°
and at 400
°
F (204
°
).
CAUTION
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM
