MAIN ENANCE
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease is permitted to
accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard substance which is extremely difficult to remove.
To prevent this condition please follow the cleaning steps below.
1) Scraping
After each use, scrape the riddle with a scraper or a flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food. A rease drawer is provided for
the scrapin s. If there is an accumulation of burned fat and food, the riddle should be thorou hly scoured and re-seasoned. Use
pumice or riddle stone, while the riddle is warm, to remove excess fat and food. Do not use steel wool because of the dan er of
steel slivers ettin into the food.
2) Body
Daily, use a clean cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the body of the riddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3) Grease Drawer wit Removable Baffle
At least once a day, remove the rease drawer and wash. If the rease drawer is permitted to fill too hi h, t e excess grease will
run out of overflow ole at t e front of t e drawer. The drawer is removed by pullin forward.
CAUTION: HANDLE GREASE DRAWER WITH EXTREME CARE WHEN FILLED WITH HOT GREASE!
4) Controls
Unit should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that the unit be disconnected from power supply by shuttin off
power disconnect switch.

Before operating griddle, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet if necessary to level the griddle.
1) Season t e surface.
Clean the riddle surface thorou hly. After the riddle has been thorou hly cleaned, it should be seasoned to prevent food from
stickin . Before usin and after each thorou h scourin , season the riddle by heatin surface in the followin manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dials to 350˚F.
2. Usin a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of cookin oil or fat over the riddle cookin surface. This film should remain
on the hot riddle for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess fat and wipe clean.
(CAUTION: GRIDDLE SURFACE WILL BE HOT.)
4. Apply another film of cookin oil over the hot cookin area for another half hour and a ain remove the excess fat and
wipe clean. The riddle surface will be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning, food may stick to the griddle cooking surface until griddle plate is “broken in”.
2) Temperature control
The temperature controls are combination “on/off” switches and thermostats. The set point of each control knob is the indicator
li ht. Your riddle is equipped with one thermostat per foot of cookin surface len th. They operate independently of one another,
allowin different foot sections of the riddle to be operated at different temperatures. Each thermostat controls the section of the
riddle above it.
3) Cooking
Set the thermostat dial knob at the desired temperature. After a short pre-heatin period, the thermostat will automatically maintain
the selected temperature. When the set temperature is reached, the si nal li ht will o off.
