OPERATION

FIRST STEP

It is recommended that you clean your         

ACCU-STEAM™ griddle thoroughly before using 

it for the first time. To clean the appliance cooking 

surface, just simply wash it down with a solution 

of mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly with 

clean water and wipe dry with a clean towel.

SEASONING

Once the cooking surface has been cleaned, turn 

the appliance on via the digital control key pad 

and set the temperature to 200°F. (93°C), and 

allow the griddle cooking surface to heat for 10 

minutes.  Using a high temperature oil, such as 

Pan and Grill Shortening™, Whirl™ or equivalent, 

pour enough to cover the entire appliance 

cooking surface. Do not use standard vegetable 

oil to season the griddle cooking surface. It 

may cause food to stick and result in improperly 

cooked food.  Work this seasoning oil into the 

griddle surface with a regular heavy-duty scrub 

pad for about 5 minutes, making sure that you 

scrub the seasoning oil over the entire appliance 

cooking surface. After the entire cooking surface 

has been scrubbed with seasoning oil for 5 

minutes, simply wipe or squeegee off excess 

oil from cooking surface. Your appliance is now 

ready to use!
If you use chemicals to clean your griddle 

periodically or on a schedule, you may need 

to repeat this process after the use of these 

chemicals.  

PREHEATING

Press the  

ON/OFF

 and set the desired 

temperature. The griddle will increase its surface 

temperature at an average rate of 15° F (8°C) 

per minute. It takes approximately 25 minutes 

to raise the griddle from room temperature to 

its maximum temperature of 400° F (204°C). 

The appliance will be preheated when the 

selected set temperature is displayed and the 

corresponding LED goes solid.  Please use 

caution as temperatures on and around the 

griddle cooking surface could cause severe 

burns.

COOKING

Begin cooking only after the appliance has been 

preheated to the desired temperature. Please 

note these facts:

•  You can cook all the way to the edges of the 

cooking surface because the temperature 

does not very across the entire cooking 

surface.

•  You can turn the product to the same spot 

because the cooking surface has near 

instant heat recovery. 

•  It will always cook the same, regardless of 

product load or surface coverage.

Accurate Cooking Temperatures

Because of the inaccurate surface temperatures 

and long recovery times common with other 

griddles cooking surfaces. It is doubtful you were 

cooking at the set temperature or the temperature 

you wanted. Adjust the temperature on the    

Accu-Steam ™griddle  and it will not change or 

vary by the location on the griddle surface. There 

are no hot or cold zones.

Checking Surface Temperatures

The digital temperature control and temperature 

sensor are more accurate than any other device 

to measure the cooking surface temperature in 

this appliance. Any other digital device may show 

a difference. The important use of the external 

temperature measuring device is to ascertain that 

the temperatures are within ±5°F across the entire 

cooking surface of the appliance.
Due to the construction material of the cooking 

surface an infrared temperature probe can’t be 

used. 
The proper measurement tools to use is a 

calibrated weighted temperature probe and digital 

temperature meter set. (See Fig. 9)

Please use caution as temperatures on and 

around the griddle cooking surface could cause 

severe burns.
