CAUTION

KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY.  IF SPILLS
OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR
FALLS.

6.1 Setting the Temperature

If different temperature settings across the same griddle are to be used, select one
side of the griddle and run that at the lowest temperature.  Adjoining sections
should be set at progressively higher temperatures.  Do not try to run end sections
hot and center sections cool.

6.2 Loading the Grill

An understanding of how the griddle sections are controlled will be a valuable aid
in loading your griddle.
A thermostat independently controls each 12-inch section.  The sensor for each is
mounted under the griddle plate in the center of each cooking section.
If product is loaded directly over the temperature sensor, that section will turn on
and the element will heat the entire cooking section.  If the product is loaded to the
side, front or back of the temperature sensor, the controller will react to the
temperature change of the entire section instead of just one product.
During slow periods minimal loads, do not load directly over the temperature
sensors as this will unnecessarily turn the elements on and over heat the reminder of
the section not being utilized.
During busy periods, a systematic approach should be utilized in loading the
griddle.  Load the entire section from rear to front and continue cooking to the next
section if necessary.
Turn the product and continue cooking until it has reached its desired degree of
doneness.
Remove the product from the griddle.
When reloading the griddle, first use the griddle surface on which a previous load
was not placed.  This will ensure the proper griddle temperature.
