OPERATING THE GRIDDLE
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired
fl
ame height or
temperature.
Each valve controls the gas
fl
ow to the burner to bring that area of the griddle up to the desired temperature. If different
temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set to progressively higher temperatures using the lowest
temperature on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the unit will produce the most
consistent product results.
CLEANING - NOTE:
It is important to check the machine daily. Checking the machine regularly can avoid serious accidents.
Stop using if user feels that there are some problems with the unit. Check the situation of the machine before and after using
every day.
Before using: Is the machine tilted?
Is the control panel damaged?
During use: Is there a strange smell or vibration noise?
Is the
fl
ame color of burner normal? Any light back or
fl
ameout?
DO NOT use any abrasive or
fl
ammable cleaning
fl
uids.
DO NOT hose down, immerse, or pressure wash any part of the Griddle, excluding the catch tray.
NEVER use a scrubber pad (on all exterior surfaces, except the griddle plate), steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners
containing chlorine, iodine and ammonia, or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life
of the unit.
IF CLEANING ALL THE GRIDDLE’S SURFACES, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. AFTER
CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO THE OPEN POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTION IN
THE MANUAL TO RELIGHT THE GRIDDLE’S PILOTS AS NEEDED.
1. Before cleaning, please turn off all gas valves.
2. Please clean the burners and tray for odds and ends regularly.
3. Clean the stainless steel surface with warm soapy water every day and rinse it completely. During cleaning, do not clean
the stainless steel surface with abrasive detergent, brush or scraper etc. The residual iron scale may cause rusting.
4. Do not clean the surface with chlorine cleanser (bleach, hydrochloric acid etc.). Do not clean the
fl
oor where the device
locates with corrosive substance.
5. Clean the dirt on the burners and baf
fl
e regularly.
6. Do not modify the ventilation volume needed during combustion.
7. Accumulation of the iron substance (e.g. Material that formed by iron rust dissolving in water in the pipe, especially when
the device is not used for a long time.). Therefore, to avoid accumulation of such substance, clean the food swill that is
dif
fi
cult to clean with stainless steel scraper or brush containing no iron substance instead of steel brush.
8. Accumulation of substance containing acidic ingredient, e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, spices, salt etc. Thus, please keep these
substances away from long contacting with the stainless steel accessories. Vapor of acid solution will damage the surface
of the device seriously.
9. A complete cleaning every day will ensure a good service and extend the service life of the unit. Clean the unit with a wet
towel containing suds or a detergent, rinse it with water and dry it with a clean cloth. Do not clean the device with steel
brush, which may cause rust. Similarly, do not contact the unit with substance containing iron.
10. Splotch and abrasion of the stainless steel surface: Scrape and black stain can be cleared away by arti
fi
cial sponge. During
cleaning, the direction should be the same as the polishing.
11. Rusting: To remove the rusting, please contact the industrial detergent manufacturer to
fi
nd a proper detergent to remove
such rusting. Industrial rust removal products may do. After cleaning, rinse it with clear water. If necessary, neutralize the
residual acid chemical compound with alkaline detergent.
12. To avoid rusting of the unit, please make sure that the residual salt inside or outside the device is cleared away.
13. After cleaning, to avoid short-time incomplete combustion, the
fi
re hole of the burner should be clear.
14. If not going to use the item at any time, please turn off the gas valve upstream the device or the power main switch.
15. If not going to use the device for a long time, please clean the stainless steel surface with a gasoline cloth and store it in a
well-ventilated area without corrosive gas.
16. 90% of the device is metals (stainless steel, iron, aluminum, galvanized metal sheet) which can be recycled by appointed
treatment plant according to environmental standards of the equipment installation countries.
