BURNER OPERATION
(MODELS TMGM)
To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI" position. Each burner is controlled by an individual
high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve
knob to any position between high and low. For overnight shutdown, turn the valves to the "OFF"
position.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
(NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
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:
. Turn the temperature control dial to 50°F (7.9°C).
2. 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 1/2 hour.
. Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again remove
excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
