’s Manual for Lang 3xx-Series Electric Griddles

DAILY OPERATION 

GRIDDLE CARE 

It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle  
attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease  
is permitted to accumulate, it forms a viscous residue 
and then carbonizes, making it extremely difficult to  
remove. To prevent this condition, the following  
suggestions for cleanliness should be followed. 

i. 

STANDARD STEEL SURFACE
After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper
or flexible spatula to remove excess grease and food
and maneuver it into the grease chute. If there is an
accumulation of burned on grease and/or food, the
griddle should be thoroughly scoured and reseasoned.
Use pumice or griddle stone while the griddle is warm.
Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel
slivers getting into the food.
CHROME SURFACE
After each use, scrape the griddle with a razor-sharp
 scraper. Following that, use a soft, damp cloth and
a non-silicate, non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner

to wipe the surface clean. Follow this by wiping with
a clean damp cloth with no cleaner. On chrome

surfaces, never use pumice, griddle stones, abrasives,
commercial liquid grill cleaner, and never strike the
griddle surface with a sharp and/or hard instrument.

ii.

Daily use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive

cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the

griddle is recommended. Wipe the polished front
with a soft cloth so not to scratch the finish.

iii.

At least once a day, remove the grease drawer and

wash it using the same process as an ordinary cooking

utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward until
it is released from its track.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE

After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should

be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using
and after each   thorough scouring, season the griddle
heating surface  in the following manner.

i. 

Turn the temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).

ii.

Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film

of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface. This

film should remain on the hot griddle surface for half

an hour.

iii.

Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.

iv.

Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking

area for another half hour and again remove excess
oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now

be ready for use.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

SNAP-ACTION THERMOSTAT 

To power on the elements, turn the adjustment knob 

to the desired temperature. Turning the dial knob
automatically maintains the selected heat range.

There is one thermostat for every twelve [12] inch  

(305 mm) wide section that operate independently. 
SELECTRONIC SOLID STATE

To power on the elements, flip the switch corresponding 

to each section you wish to use to the “ON” position.  
Next, Turn the adjustment knob to the desired  
temperature [this system adjusts 

in increments  

of 25° F (14 ° C)]. 

COOKING

Set the thermostat dial knob at the desired temperature. 
After a short pre-heating period, the thermostat will  

automatically maintain the selected temperature. 

IDLING

During idle periods, to save on operating costs, lower 
the temperature setting of the thermostat to about  

250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain cooking  

temperature during idle periods, as the griddle can  

quickly be reheated to the desired temperature.
