4.
BASIC OPERATION:
4.1.
OPERATIONAL HELPFUL HINTS:
A.
Each thermostat controls 12" of griddle surface, whenever possible, use the leftmost or rightmost thermostats for the
lowest cooking temperatures. The adjacent thermostats set at higher temperatures will effect centrally located
thermostats.
B.
For quicker thermostat response during heavy loading of the griddle, load product directly over the thermostat sensing
probe. For slow periods load product to one side of the sensing probe to limit possible overheating of unused griddle
surface.
C.
Whenever possible, rotate the location of where product is cooked, this will keep the entire 12" of the controlled area
at a more even temperature.
D.
If any product sticking occurs, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface before loading product.
E.
When using spatulas or scrapers, it is
Highly Recommended
that the corners of the tools never strike the griddle
surface with any force. This could cause damage to the surface that could collect food particles, and make it difficult
to clean.
