Heat to low temperature (300~350˚C/150~180˚F) and pour a small amount of cooking oil to the griddle plate (about
one ounce(30cc)) per square foot of surface). Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin
film. Wipe off any excess oil excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick,
mirror-like surface.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame height,
Each valve controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set temperature.
If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher temperatures
using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. Uniform and systematic approaches to the loading of the unit
produce the most consistent product results.
SHUTDOWN THE BURNER
TO TURN “OFF” THE APPLIANCE COMPLETELY, TURN THE GAS CONTROL KNOB COMPLETELY CLOCKWISE TO “ON”
POSITION, THE PILOT BURNER WILL EXTINGUISH.

To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off to the desired flame level. The range of
adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and ”OFF”
The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that is
required to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides
or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of
air, removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting
operation and causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room of area in
which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
NOTE:
it may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This must be
done by an authorized technician.
