OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY

Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at the end of each day of operation. Do not leave the unit in operation without an attendant.

Turn thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle periods. It will take only a few minutes to regain operating temperature.

Use spatula to push excess grease into grease drawer after each load of food is cooked. This will reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.

Do not leave the unit at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods. This will cause food particles and grease fi lm to carbonize.

"Season" cooking surfaces with non-salted vegetable oil to reduce product sticking.

MONTHLY LUBRICATION/INSPECTION

Apply two (2) drops of non-toxic mineral or vegetable oil to counter balance shoulder rivets and plastic spacers.

Check and clean brass rollers to make sure they are rolling and not sliding on the cam surfaces of the counterbalance.

Check the bolts, screws and nuts, tighten if necessary.

CLEANING (NON CHROME SURFACES)

Begin cleaning procedure by using the operating procedures within your organization, or follow the steps below:

1.If particles adhere to the cooking surface during the day, scrape them off with a spatula. NOTE: It is best not to let food cook onto the grill, as food build-up on the grill will increase sticking and smoking. In addition, carbon may build up on the grill surface and reduce the cooking effi ciency.

CARBON BUILDUP: A black matter that forms on or near the cooking surface. Generally this is a combination of: releasing agents, oils, food particles etc. that has cooked itself to the surface. After a period of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and material may start fl aking off. When that happens, follow the "Carbon Cleaning" procedures.

2.At the end of the day, wipe down all surfaces with a warm, damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry.

CARBON CLEANING

When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent according to the instructions provided with the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season the grill according to your company/corporate guidelines, or the seasoning instructions in this manual.

CAUTION

DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN WATER.

DO NOT HOSE DOWN THE UNIT OR THE TABLE/COUNTER IF THE UNIT IS ON THE TABLE/COUNTER.

KEEP AWAY FROM RUNNING WATER.

DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE CARBON BUILD-UP.

BEFORE CLEANING MAKE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF, UNIT IS UNPLUGGED AND IS NOT TOO HOT.

While holding top lid with one hand, apply only cleaners which are safe for aluminum and iron surfaces. Wipe with clean sponge or towel until unit is clean.

DO NOT SPLASH FRONT CONTROL PANEL!
