DAILY OPERATION
GRIDDLE CARE
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle
attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease
is permitted to accumulate, it forms a viscous residue
and then carbonizes, making it extremely difficult to
remove. To prevent this condition, the following
suggestions for cleanliness should be followed.
i.
After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper
or flexible spatula to remove excess grease and food
and maneuver it into the grease chute. If there is an
accumulation of burned on grease and/or 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
ii.
Daily use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive
cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle is recommended. Wipe the polished front
with a soft cloth so not to scratch the finish.
iii.
At least once a day, remove the grease drawer and
wash it using the same process as an ordinary cooking
utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward until
it is released from its track.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle
has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned to
prevent food from sticking. Before using and after each
thorough scouring, season the griddle heating surface
in the following manner.
i.
Turn the temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).
ii.
Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film
of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface. This
film should remain on the hot griddle surface for half
an hour.
iii.
Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
iv.
Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking
area for another half hour and again remove excess
oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now
be ready for use.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF”
switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob
automatically maintains the selected heat range.
There is one thermostat for every twelve [12] inch
(305 mm) wide section that operate independently.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the desired temperature.
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.
GREASE PAN
The grease pan on the front is hot and contains hot
grease. Take care when removing and emptying the
tray. The tray should be checked and emptied on
a regular basis.
