TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination "ON/
OFF" switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob
automatically maintains the selected heat range.
The Star-Max/Chrome-Max electric griddle line has
one thermostat for every 12" (30cm) section of griddle
which operate independently of one another. Each
thermostat controls the section of the griddle above it
and may be set at different temperatures as desired.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature
desired. After a short pre-heating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected
temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods, to save on operating costs, lower
the temperature setting of the thermostat to about
250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain cooking
temperature during idle periods, as the griddle can
quickly be reheated to the desired temperature.
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Each thermostat has its own signal light which indicates
when the unit's control knob is not in the off position.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM
SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle
attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease is
permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake
and then carbonize into a hard substance which is
extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this
condition, the following suggestions for cleanliness
should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or
flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food. A
waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there
is an accumulation of burned on fat and food, the
griddle should be thoroughly scoured and
reseasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone while
the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because
of the danger of steel slivers getting into the food.
2. Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive
cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day, remove the waste grease
drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary
cooking utensil. The drawers are removed by
pulling forward until they are
released from
their track.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial
Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean and
performing at top efficiency.
DO NOT
allow grease
to accumulate as it will carbonize and become difficult
to remove. To prevent this condition the following
cleaning suggestions should be followed:
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4"
(100mm) wide
Razor Sharp
type scraper and
wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day cleaning,
a damp cloth and a non-silicated, non-abrasive,
non-chlorinated cleaner such as Bon-Ami may be
used to wipe surface clean, followed by wiping
with a clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-
Chromium Surfaces) above.
CAUTION
1.
Never
use pumice, griddle stones, or abrasives on
the surface.
2.
Never
strike griddle surface with sharp instrument
or spatula edge.
3.
Never
use steel wool.
4.
Never
use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the
griddle surface.
5.
Abusing
surface voids the warranty.
