PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CLEANING
CHART
AVOID SERVICE CHECKLIST
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you
both time and expense. This list includes common
occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship
or materials in this appliance.
WARRANTY REPAIRS
Keating’s warranty begins with the date of installation. In the
event that your Miraclean
®
Griddle, under warranty, needs
repairs other than routine cleaning, you are requested to
contact KEATING OF CHICAGO, INC. (1-800 KEATING).
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
Calibration is not covered under warranty.
Tools: Accurate surface thermometer
Standard screwdriver
1.
Turn the exhaust system ON.
2.
Turn on the griddle with thermostat set at 300°F. Allow
burners to cycle on and off three times. (Approximately
60 minutes.)
3.
Place accurate thermometer on surface over thermostat
bulb. Use the inverted “V” on the front of the griddle plate
to locate thermostat bulb. Place the surface
thermometer about half waytoward the back of the plate.
4.
When burners cycle off, the griddle is up to temperature.
If temperature is within 25°F of thermostat setting,
remove knob. Loosen four screws in the thermostat dial
plate. Replace knob. Reset the dial plate to match the
thermometer reading.
Thermostat calibration
Thermostat knob removed to reveal calibration screws.
5.
Remove the knob to tighten screws on dial plate and
replace the knob.
For calibration over a 50°F difference, contact a qualified
service company.
CONDITIONING THE
MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE PLATE
The Miraclean
®
Griddle plate has been “seasoned” at the
factory. The Miraclean
®
surface when heated creates a thin
layer of chrome oxide which acts as a releasing agent for
food product. You may feel that you need to recondition your
griddle surface.
1. Follow cleaning instructions on page 5.
2. Heat the MIRACLEAN
®
to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the MIRACLEAN
®
to
cool to about 350°F, as is evident when griddle cycles on
or surface thermometer indicates correct temperature.
4. Lightly coat the MIRACLEAN
®
surface with griddle oil.
NOTE:
Despite the food releasing properties, the chrome surface is not a true
“non-stick” surface. For best cooking results and product appearance, use
griddle oil for products that require the surface to be conditioned.
