. Re-set the thermostat to 75°F and apply a second film of
oil . After (5) five minutes, wipe off the excess oil .
5 . Reset the thermostat to the cooking temperature and
apply a final film of oil . After (3) minutes, wipe off the
excess oil . The griddle is now seasoned and ready for use .
NOTE : We recommend reseasoning the griddle before each
day’s operations begin . Franchise operators who follow
explicit operating procedures should be made aware of this
recommendation .
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
During idle periods, reduce the thermostat settings to
conserve energy . A setting of 175°F to 00˚F is enough to
keep the plate warm . Reducing the temperature also reduces
the load on the thermostat .
1 . At then end of the operations, turn the power and zone
switches OFF . There is no need to change the thermostat
settings when the unit is not in use .
. Don’t overheat the griddle . Excessive heat causes grease
to carbonize and makes the surfaces hard to clean .
3 . Empty the grease trays often to avoid spillovers .
. For extended shutdown or major maintenance, turn the
power and zone switches OFF, close the manual shut-off
gas valve, and unplug the electrical power cord .
Cleaning
1 . At the end of the cooking operations, wipe and clean the
unit while it is still warm . Use a spatula to remove food
residue and burnt grease .
. When the plate is cool, wash it with a mild detergent, dry
it, and wipe it with a slightly oiled cloth .
3 . For a more thorough cleaning, use Garland Ranges F69
fryer and griddle cleaner . Polish the plate to a bright finish,
then wash, rinse and thoroughly dry it .
. Follow the procedure specified (see Start-Up) to reseason
the cooking surface .
5 . To clean the exterior surface of a chain griddle, clean the
stainless steel with a hot detergent or soap solution .
Remove baked on grease by applying the cleanser in
the direction of the polishing lines of the stainless steel
surface .
CAUTION : Do not rub stainless steel in a circular motion . This
destroys the finished surface of the metal and detracts from
its appearance .
If it is necessary to remove hard and burnt on deposits
from high quality surfaces, use SCOTCH-BRITE or STAINLESS
scouring pads by running with the grain of the finished
steel . Remove heat tint the same way, using if necessary a
non-abrasive powered cleanser with the SCOTCH-BRITE or
STAINLESS pad . On no account use ordinary steel wool, it will
damage the finished surface .
