OPERATION
WARNING
: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor.
Remove this film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use.
Heat the griddle to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface with
a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial cleaner, following the manufacturer’s
directions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every
cleaning. Heat griddle to a low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of
cooking oil – about one ounce per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to
spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil
with a cloth. Repeat the procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.
CONTROLS
THERMOSTAT – Each thermostat controls
the gas flow to the burner to bring that
area of the griddle plate up to the set
temperature. Indicator lights indicate when
a gas valve is open and a burner is active.
POWER SWITCH – activates/deactivates
electrical power to the griddle. Unit will
only operate if power is on.
INDICATOR LIGHT – each burner has an associated light that will illuminate when the
burner is in operation.
OPERATION OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Set the cooking temperature of each thermostat to be used.
2. Push ON/OFF switch to ON. The red indicator light will glow, indicating the griddle is
on and calling for heat.
SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Push ON/OFF switch to OFF. Red indicator light will stop glowing; indicating that gas
has been shut off to main burners and the griddle is not heating.
EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
1. Shut off the main gas supply valve.
2. Unplug the griddle electrical supply cord.
3. Apply a heavy coat of vegetable oil over the griddle plate to inhibit rust.
