Initial start up
WARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING, USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION TO TEST
ALL JOINTS FOR GAS LEAKS.
Pre-Power On
Clean the preservative coating from the griddle plate and splashguard. Add a mild
detergent to hot water and wash the griddle plate and splashguard. Rinse with a damp
sponge and dry with a clean rag.
Plug the unit into a 115-volt power supply.
Power On
When the griddle is turned on for the first time, after being connected to power and gas,
it may take it several tries to purge the gas lines and ignite the burners. If any of the
burners fail to light during the initial trial for ignition the spark module will enter a lock out
situation and the controller must be cycled off and then back on.
Once the burners ignite the griddle will automatically preheat the griddle to its default
temperature of 125
°
F (52
°
). This can be preset to a different temperature at the factory if
notified.
Season the griddle
(Non Chrome Surfaces)
1. When the burners go OFF, apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted vegetable oil
to the griddle surface.
2. Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a towel.
3. Recoat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off any excess oil.
4.
Repeat the seasoning process at 350
°
F (117
°
and at 400
°
F (204
°
).
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial Chromium griddle surface sparkling
clean and performing at top efficiency.
DO NOT
allow grease to accumulate as it will carboniz
and become difficult to remove. To prevent this condition the following cleaning suggestions
should be followed:
1. Remove excess grease and food regularly with a 4” (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type
scraper and wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day cleaning, a damp cloth and a non-silicated,
nonabrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface
clean, followed by wiping with a clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-Chromium Surfaces) above.
CAUTION
1. Never
use pumice, griddle stones, or abrasives on a chromium surface.
2.
Never
strike a chromium griddle surface with a sharp instrument or spatula edge.
3.
Never
use steel wool.
4.
Never
use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the griddle surface.
5.
Abusing
surface voids the warranty.
CAUTION
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS.
CAUTION
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR,
CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
