The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by
careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate
surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the
corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE
Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once
daily.
Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs
better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle
plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the
transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss
of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle foods, giving them a
highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.
To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle with a wire brush of flexible spatula.
ONCE PER DAY
Thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Remove, empty and wash the
grease drawer in the same manner as an ordinary cooking utensil.
ONCE PER WEEK
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, screen, or Scotch Bright pad on
the surface as necessary. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm (not
hot). A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure the
detergent is thoroughly removed by flushing with clear water.
After removal of detergent the surface of the plate the griddle should be seasoned
according to the instructions in this manual.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove
discoloration, use a griddle cleaner.
If the griddle usage is very high, consider conducting this weekly cleaning procedure more
than once per week.
LEVELING
The griddle must be level (side-to-side and front-to-back) during operation to ensure proper
performance. Improper leveling can result in uneven temperature distribution, cold spots,
and possibly damaged components.
1. Place a level on the griddle.
2. Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Using pliers or a
crescent wrench, turn the feet counter-clockwise to increase height, and clockwise to
decrease height until leveling is achieved. Do not extend the legs more than 1-
¾
”.
