THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

Calibration is not covered under warranty.
Tools:
Accurate surface thermometer and standard
screwdriver.
1. Turn the exhaust system ON.
2. Turn on the griddle with
thermostat set at 300°F. Allow
burners to cycle on and off
three times. (Approximately 60
minutes.)
3. Place accurate thermometer
on surface over thermostat bulb.
Use the inverted "V" on the front
of the griddle plate to locate thermostat bulb. Place
the surface thermometer about half way toward the
back of the plate.
4. When burners cycle off, the griddle is up to tem-
perature. If temperature is within 25°F of thermostat
setting, remove knob. Loosen four screws in the ther-
mostat dial plate. Replace knob. Reset the dial plate
to match the thermometer reading.
5. Remove the knob to tighten screws on dial plate
and replace the knob.
For calibration over a 25°F difference, contact a quali-
fi ed service company.

IT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY ON PART

CONDITIONING THE MIRACLEAN®
GRIDDLE PLATE
The Miraclean® Griddle plate has been "seasoned"
at the factory. The Miraclean® surface when heated
creates a thin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a
releasing agent for food product. You may feel that you
need to recondition your griddle surface.
1. Follow cleaning instructions on page 6.
2. Heat the Miraclean® to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the Miraclean®
to cool to about 350°F, as is evident when griddle
cycles on or surface thermometer indicates correct
temperature.
4. Lightly coat the Miraclean® surface with griddle oil.
NOTE: Despite the food releasing properties, the chrome
surface is not a true "non-stick" surface. For best cooking
results and product appearance, use griddle oil for products
that require the surface to be conditioned.
