Operating Instructions

Operating the Griddle
Before operating griddle, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the griddle. Be
sure the catch tray has been assembled correctly. Please see diagram figure 9-1.
NOTE: Upon first use, griddle may produce a metal-burning smell.
This is normal and smell will regress with use.
Wipe all petrulium jelly from the surface before use.
Season the surface:
1. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly
Fig. 9-1
cleaned, it should be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using, and
after each thorough scouring, season the griddle by heating the surface
in the following manner:
2. Turn on the griddle by dialing/adjust the temperature control dial from Off to 350°F
3. Using a clean cloth (not a spatula) spread a thick film of cooking oil or fat over the griddle cooking surface.
This film should remain on the hot griddle for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the excess fat and wipe clean. (CAUTION - the griddle surface will be HOT)
5. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking surface for another 30 minutes and again remove the
excess fat and wipe clean. The griddle surface will be ready to use.
EVEN WITH CAREFUL SEASONING, FOOD MAY STICK TO THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE UNTIL THE
GRIDDLE PLATE IS "BROKEN IN".
Temperature Control
The temperature is thermostatically controlled. Be sure the temperature dial is turned and adjusted to the desired
setting. The set point of each thermostat is marked on the front panel with a
– in the 9 o'clock position. Your griddle is equipped with one thermostat per various cooking service interval.
For the 24" griddle/36" griddle/48" griddle - every 12", for the 16" griddle - every 16".
Cooking
Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature. After a short pre-heating period, the thermostat will
automatically maintain the selected temperature. When the set temperature is reached, the signal light will go off.
