OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING
SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. 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:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F
(174.9°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin
film of cooking oil or fat over the griddle cooking
surface. This film should remain on the hot
griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess fat and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot
cooking area for another 1/2 hour, and again
remove excess fat and wipe clean. The griddle
surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some
extent, stick to the griddle cooking surface until
griddle plate is "broken in."
COOKING (MODELS 615TB, 624TB,
636TB, 648TB, TCHSB & TSPB ONLY)
Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature
desired. After a short preheating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected
temperature.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM
SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle
attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease
is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy
cake and then carbonize into a hard substance
which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent
this condition, the following suggestions for
cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a
scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess fat
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the
scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on fat and 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.
2. Daily-use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive
cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft
cloth.
3. At least once a day remove the waste drawer
and wash in the same way as an ordinary
cooking utensil. The drawer is removed by
pulling forward, up and out.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this
Industrial Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean
and performing at top efficiency.
DO NOT
allow
grease to accumulate as it will carbonize and
become difficult to remove. To prevent this
condition the following cleaning suggestions should
be followed.
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4"
(100mm) wide
Razor Sharp
type scraper and
wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day
cleaning, a damp cloth and a non-silicated,
non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner such as
Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean,
followed by wiping with clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from Griddle Care (Non-
Chromium Surfaces).
