Cooking
After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or a flexible spatula to remove excess fat and food. A grease drawer is provided
for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned fat and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned.
Use pumice or griddle stone, while the griddle is warm, to remove excess fat and food. Do not use steel wool because of the
danger of steel slivers getting into the food.
1 Scraping
Daily,use a clean cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the griddle. Wipe the polished front with a
soft cloth.
2 Body
At least once a day, remove the grease drawer and wash. If the grease drawer is permitted to fill too high, the excess grease will
run out of overflow hole at the front of the drawer. The drawer is removed by pulling forward.
USE CAUTION WHEN FILLED WITH HOT GREASE
3 Grease Drawer

power disconnect switch.

Controls
The temperature controls are combination “on/off” switches and thermostats. Your griddle is equipped with one thermostat per
foot of cooking surface length. They operate independently of one another allowing different foot sections of the griddle to be
operated at different temperatures. Each thermostat controls the section of the griddle above it.

Temperature Control
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned to prevent food from
sticking. Before using and after each thorough scouring, season the griddle by heating surface in the following manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dials to 350˚ degrees F.
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of cooking oil or fat over the griddle cooking surface. This film should
remain on the hot griddle for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess fat and wipe clean.
(CAUTION: GRIDDLE SURFACE WILL BE HOT.)
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another half hour and again remove the excess fat and
wipe clean. The griddle surface will be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning, food may stick to the griddle cooking surface until griddle plate is “broken in”.

Before operating griddle, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet if necessary to level the griddle.
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease is per-
mitted 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.
