Adjust if necessary. VENTILATION AIR The Electric Chain Griddle (ECG) is intended to be installed under a ventilation hood. Proper operation of exhaust fans (proper speed, rotation and adjustment) is essential. In addition, a make-up air system (HVAC) for the kitchen to supply fresh air is recommended.

Never salt food over griddle since this will build up a gummy residue making it difficult to clean. Avoid hitting the surface of the griddle with the edge of a spatula since this will cause nicks. The most frequently used temperatures are 149C to 182C (300F to 360F). After one cycle, the griddle plate will discolour.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE: 1. Using a clean cloth, rub a thin and even layer of oil into the griddle surface. Oil should be an unsalted shortening or high temperature cooking oil. 2. Set the griddle thermostat to 66C (150F) and heat the griddle surface until the oil begins to caramelize (turn a golden brown colour).

3. Do not use the griddle as a hot top. A large pan or pot will trap heat and can cause the griddle plate to warp. 4. Do not overheat the griddle to preheat faster. Preheating only takes 15-20 minutes.
