must be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Follow the steps
below for the correct heating method to season the griddle before
use and after scouring.

Temperature Control
Your griddle should be turned on prior to usage to allow the cooking
surface to warm up; 5-7 minutes is sufficient.
To get efficient use from this unit, it is recommended that for
intermittent use that the thermostat be turned down when not
cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow
for quicker heat response when needed.
It is recommended that the cooking surface is lightly greased before
each use.
The temperature is thermostatically controlled.
Be sure On/Off switch is ON, for EDG-36, and adjust
temperature dial knob to the desired setting.
Power for EDG-24 is activated when temperature dial knob
is turned to desired heat setting.
The set point of each thermostat is marked on the front panel with
"TEMP
" in the 9 o’clock position. Griddle is equipped with one
thermostat per various cooking surface segments.
For the 24” griddle, every 12” and for the 36” griddle, every 18”.
Cooking
Switch griddle to ON and adjust the thermostat dial knob to the
desired temperature. After a short pre-heating period, the thermostat
will automatically maintain the selected temperature. When the set
temperature is reached, the signal light will go OFF.
A temperature setting of between 375ºF and 430ºF will be sufficient
for general cooking. This may vary for particular food types, individual
needs, or experience.
Simply place the food products on the grilling surface and cook to
manufacturer's specifications.
