OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING
SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly removing the
preservation oil with a mild detergent and warm
water. 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."
