INITIAL START UP
Initial Lighting Procedure
Clean the preservative coating from the griddle plate and splash guard. Add a mild detergent to hot
water and wash the griddle plate and splash guard. Rinse with a damp sponge and dry with a clean
rag.
WARNING: BEFORE LIGHTING, USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION TO
TEST ALL JOINTS FOR GAS LEAKS.
• Plug the unit into a power supply that matches what is listed on the nameplate.
• Turn the ON-STANDBY toggle switch to ON.
• Set the temperature dials to the desired temperature.
• Turn the toggle switch to each section to ON.
• To turn the griddle off, simply turn the main toggle switch to STANDBY.
Seasoning the Griddle Plate (non chrome only)
• Set the temperature dials to 300°F (148°C).
• Observe the burners through the opening at the top of the control panel.
• When the burners go OFF, apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted vegetable oil to the
griddle surface.
• Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a towel.
• Recoat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off any excess oil.
• Repeat the seasoning process at 350°F (176°C) and at 400°F (204°C).
NOTICE:
During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small
amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a faint odor from
the smoke. This is normal for a new griddle and will disappear
after the first few hours of use.
