Seasoning is not required on a Chrome Plated Cooking surface, but the following procedure may be
performed to improve the non-stick qualities of the chrome plated cooking surface.
2.2.1. Griddle Surface Seasoning
1. To season the griddle, Light all pilots and turn all the thermostat controls to 200°F. As the
unit heats up to 200°F, apply a light film of cooking oil or beef suet over the entire cooking
surface, wiping off any excess build up. This step may be repeated as necessary to apply
an even coating on the griddle surface. Seasoning will help create and maintain a non-
stick cooking surface on your griddle.
2. Allow the seasoned surface to idle for one hour at 200°F, Then set the thermostats to your
desired cooking temperature, once your griddle surface has reached temperature, apply
another coating of seasoning oil, wiping off any excess that may cause build up.
2.2.2. Surface Temperature Check
1. If available, place grill surface thermometer over each thermostat sensing probe 12" from
the front edge of the griddle surface, See Figure 8 below. The sensing probes are located
in line with each ON/OFF switch, align your measuring device with the switch and monitor
the temperature at all the controls that are to be adjusted.
2. Heat the griddle up to the desired cooking temperature; check the surface temperature
reading on the grill thermometer. If necessary, adjust the thermostats that control any area
of the surface that are not /- 10°F of the thermostat setting. The procedure for
adjusting the thermostats is in Section 3.
