2M-W363: Electric Clamshell® CSE12A
7
INITIAL START UP
Each unit is preheated, tested and calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. However, due to temperature and
climate changes during shipment the unit can absorb moisture. Check griddle for moisture and allow the unit to dry
before placing the unit into full operation.
Prior to putting any unit into full time operation at normal cooking temperatures, it must be thoroughly “seasoned” or
dried out. Moisture absorption in the closed spaces, in the insulation and even inside the heating elements can cause
future trouble if not properly treated.
Allow the element in the unit to dry thoroughly prior to the initial use. To dry the unit, cycle the unit on and place the
hood into the down position. Allow the unit to saturate until all vapor and condensation have been removed. For best
operating results allow the unit to thoroughly dry out for 8 to 12 hours.
Pre-heat the griddle for one hour, if the unit has been out of service for three days, especially when exposed to high
humidity and/or cool temperatures.
During the first few hours of operation, you may notice a small amount of smoke and a
faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a new unit and will disappear after the first
few hours of use.
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS.
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN
IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
Once the griddle has been loaded properly, lower the hood over the product.
Elements must not touch product when clamshell is in the closed position.
