GRIDDLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Electric Shock Hazard
DO NOT splash or pour water onto control panel or wiring.
A. SEASONING
WARNING: Hot Surfaces
Griddle surface can be VERY HOT and may cause severe burns on contact.
The metal surface of the griddle has microscopic pores. It is important to fill the pores with oil to provide a
hard, non-stick cooking surface.
1. Turn GRIDDLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL (G.01) clockwise to 375ºF. Allow the griddle to heat
until the GRIDDLE HEAT ON INDICATOR (G.02) goes OFF, showing that the griddle is up to the set
temperature.
2. Spread a light film of oil over the entire griddle surface.
3. Allow the oil film to "cook in" for 2 - 3 minutes, or until the oil smokes.
4. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean cloth to remove any standing oil.
5. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2 - 3 times, until the griddle has a slick, clean surface.
B. COOKING WITH YOUR GRIDDLE
WARNING: Hot Surfaces
Griddle surface can be VERY HOT and may cause severe burns on contact.
1. Turn the GRIDDLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL (G.01) to the desired cooking temperature. The
solid-state thermostatic controller will automatically maintain set temperature.
2. The GRIDDLE HEAT ON INDICATOR(G.02) will be ON when the heating elements are energized.
C. GRIDDLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To keep the griddle clean and food flavors at their best, scrape the griddle after preparing each
order. Scrape excess food into the waste hole in the grease trough (front of the griddle cooking
surface). After each 2 - 3 orders, wipe the griddle surface with a light coat of oil.
2. Clean the griddle surface daily, at a minimum:
a. Set temperature control to 220ºF. Allow the griddle temperature to drop to 220ºF before
proceeding.
b. Pour a small amount of water on the griddle surface and let it "sizzle".
c. Use a pumice stone or griddle brick to remove all remaining waste, and to clean the griddle
surface down to bright metal. Wipe off any remaining powder residue.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE STEEL WOOL TO CLEAN THE GRIDDLE SURFACE!
d. Use a soft-bristled fiber brush in a circular motion to remove any remaining food particles.
e. Turn temperature control to OFF. Allow the griddle surface to cool, then wipe the surface
with a clean cloth.
f. Dry the griddle surface thoroughly.
g. Season the cooking surface after each cleaning using the instructions above.
3. At least once each day, the GREASE TROUGH must be thoroughly cleaned. Using a scraper,
remove all grease and food waste from the grease trough and into the grease drawer.
