SEASONING

It is recommended that you clean your A

CCU

-S

TEAM

™ griddle

thoroughly before turning your 

unit on. To clean the griddle surface, just simply wash the cooking surface down with a solution 

of mild soap and water, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

 Once the cooking surface has been cleaned, set the thermostat to 200°F (93°C), turn the griddle 

power switch to the “On” position 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 griddle 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 griddle-cooking surface. 

After the entire griddle surface has been scrubbed with seasoning oil for 5 minutes, simply wipe 

or squeegee off excess oil from griddle surface. Your griddle 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 chemicals.  

PREHEATING

Turn On switch to the “On” position and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The 

griddle will increase its surface temperature at an average rate of 15°

F (8°C) per minute. It 

takes approximately 22 minutes to raise the griddle from room temperature to its maximum 

temperature of 400° F (204°C). The griddle will be preheated when the “Heat” light starts to 

cycle on and off.  

Please use caution as temperatures on and around the griddle cooking 

surface could cause severe burns.
COOKING

Begin cooking only after the griddle has been preheated to the desired temperature. Please note 

these facts:

•  You can cook all the way to the edges of the griddle surface because the temperature 

does not very across the entire cooking surface.

•  You can turn the product to the same spot because the griddle 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. It is doubtful you were cooking at the set temperature or the temperature you wanted. 

Adjust the temperature on your A

and it will not change or vary by the 

location on the griddle surface. There are no hot or cold zones.

Heat Lamp

It is normal for the heat light to cycle on and off.

 This light indicates when the heaters 

are energized. You will soon notice how little they are energized to maintain perfect surface 

temperatures on your griddle.
