PLATED GRIDDLES.

chrome griddle that could
scratch the surface.
DO NOT clean chrome
surface with griddle bricks,
pumice stone or abrasive
cleansers.
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
SEASONING STANDARD AND GROOVED GRIDDLES
As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has
microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order
to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.
a. Preheat griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over entire griddle surface.
c. Allow oil film to "cook in" for approximately 2 minutes, or until
it smokes.
d. Wipe griddle surface with clean damp cloth to remove all oil.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until griddle
has a slick, clean surface.
CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are filled by the
chrome plating, no seasoning of the griddle surface is required.
a. Thoroughly clean griddle surface using a soft clean cloth and a
small amount of mild detergent.
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
c. The griddle is now ready to use.
USING THE GRIDDLE
Check the chart on page 7 for recommended cooking temperatures.
Turn temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The heating
indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the indicator
light first goes out, griddle is ready to use.
For standard griddles:
• Keep the griddle surface clean and well oiled during use.
• Scrape cooking waste into the grease trough frequently during
use.
• Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of cooking oil on the
griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick surface.
For chrome plated griddles:
• Scrape cooking waste into the grease trough after preparing
each order.
DO NOT bang or tap pots, pans, spatulas or other metal
•
utensils on the griddle surface as this may damage the chrome
plating.
