TESTING & ADJUSTMENT Continued

Griddle Seasoning

1. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water, mild detergent or soap solution.
2. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface,
about one ounce per square foot of griddle surface.
Spread over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to
create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
3. Light all burners, set a lowest possible setting. Some
discoloration will occur when heat is applied to steel.
4. Heat the griddle slowly for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wipe
away oil. Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the
griddle has a slick, mirror like finish. Do this until you have
reached the desired cooking temperature.

OPERATION

Open Top burners

Lighting:
1. Light pilots located in the center of each burner.
2. Turn valve completely on. Burner flame should be
1/2-inch, (13mm), stable blue flame, and should impinge
on the bottom of a pot placed on the ring great.
Shut Down:
1. Turn all valves to the "OFF" position.
2. If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, close the in-line gas valve.
CAUTION: Should burner ignition fail within 5 seconds, turn
the burner valve off and repeat steps 1 through 5. If ignition
continues to fail, consult your factory authorized service
agency.

Hot top Sections

1. Raise or remove hot top sections. Each burner has one
pilot located at the front right side of the burner.
Part # 4515146 (02/29/08)
Important: Do not attain high (on valve control) or 450° (on
thermostat control) during "break-in" period.
NOTE: Steel griddle surface will tone (blue discoloration)
from heat. This toning will not diminish function or operation
and is not a defect.
The griddle will not require reseasoning if it is used properly.
If the griddle is over heated and product begins to stick to
the surface it may be necessary to repeat the seasoning
process again. If the griddle is cleaned with soap and water it
will be necessary to reseason the griddle surface.
2. Light pilots. The pilot burner should be adjusted to
provide for rapid ignition of the burner.
3. Turn the burner valve on. A sharp blue flame should be
approximately 1/4-inch, (6mm) high.
4. Replace Hot top Sections.

Valve Controlled Griddles

See the section on griddle seasoning before initial use.
1. Raise griddle at front and securely block.
2. Light pilots located at the front right side of each burner.
3. Turn burner valves completely on. Burners should have
