On/Off Switch; Operating Instructions - Pro-Max TABLETOP Installation Instructions Manual

ALL UNITS
Initial Start Up
Level unit using the adjustable feet under the unit (approximately
1/2" adjustment).
Before using the unit for the first time, clean and heat for
approximately 45 minutes. The grill may emit a small amount of
smoke as the cooking surfaces reach 300-350°F. Do not be alarmed,
as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing
process and will stop when the grill reaches 400°F. Best to do this
in a well ventilated area.
Seasoning The Cooking Surfaces
First Time Seasoning
Follow your company/corporate guidelines for seasoning cooking
surfaces or:
1. Bring the grill to 300°F (No. 5 for mechanical units) and leave
it on while doing the next three steps.
2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a SALT-FREE release agent.
If using an aerosol agent, first apply into a cup and then brush
onto cooking surface.
3. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm
damp cloth.
Daily Seasoning
The grill should not require much seasoning while in use. In most
cases, brush a light coating of a SALT-FREE baking release agent
in the morning and occasionally throughout the day will be enough
to prevent any sticking. It is not necessary to spray before grilling
each item.
