EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
The griddle is shipped with protective coatings of oil and/or grease. Remove the griddle plate coating just
prior to its first cooking use. If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of clean
grease back over the griddle plate.
Wipe the remaining cabinet parts down with a hot, wet cloth to remove any shipping dust and protective oil.

CAUTION:
Care must be exercised not to overheat the griddle plate on initial start up by
setting the controls above normal operating temperature. Overheating may cause the
plate to warp and will carbonize the grease (this will cause sticking).
