DAILY OPERATION

GRIDDLE CARE

It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle 

attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease 

is permitted to accumulate, it forms a viscous residue 

and then carbonizes, making it extremely difficult 

to remove. To prevent this condition, the following 

suggestions for cleanliness should be followed.

i.  After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper 

or flexible spatula to remove excess grease and 

food and maneuver it into the grease chute. If 

there is an accumulation of burned on grease 

and/or food, the griddle should be thoroughly 

scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice or griddle 

stone while the griddle is warm. Do not use 

steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers 

getting into the food

ii.  Daily use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive 

cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the 

griddle is recommended. Wipe the polished 

front with a soft cloth so not to scratch the finish.

iii.  At least once a day, remove the grease drawer 

and wash it using the same process as an 

ordinary cooking utensil. The drawer is removed 

by pulling forward until it is released from its 

track.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE

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.

i.  Turn the temperature control dials to 350°F 

(177°C).

ii.  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 for half an hour.

iii. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
iv. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot 

cooking area for another half hour and again 

remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle 

surface should now be ready for use

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF” 

switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob 

automatically maintains the selected heat range. 

There is one thermostat for every twelve [12] inch 

(305 mm) wide section that operate independently.

COOKING

Set the thermostat dial knob at the desired 

temperature. After a short pre-heating period, the 

thermostat will automatically maintain the selected 

temperature.

IDLING

During idle periods, to save on operating costs, 

lower the temperature setting of the thermostat to 

about 250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain 

cooking temperature during idle periods, as the 

griddle can quickly be reheated to the desired 

temperature.

SIGNAL LIGHTS

Each thermostat has its own signal light which 

indicates when the unit’s control knob is not in the 

off position.

GREASE PAN

The grease pan on the front is hot and contains hot 

grease. Take care when removing and emptying the 

tray. The tray should be checked and emptied on a 

regular basis.
