USING THE GRIDDLE

The griddle is made from stainless steel, highly polished to provide

 

a smooth cooking surface. It is normal for it to darken with use as

 

oils cook onto the surface to provide a nonstick base or “season-

GRIDDLE FLUE

ing”. Since the griddle is made from stainless steel, the surface will

COVER

not rust. However, after use it may have a rust stain or rust color.

 

The griddle burner is controlled by the gas burner underneath the

 

griddle plate and cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature.

 

The griddle assembly is not to be removed for cleaning and is held in

 

place by one front screw and two rear screws. These are mainly there

 

to keep the griddle from shifting in transit, thus avoiding breakage of

 

any ignition components.

 

THERMOCOUPLE

 

The griddle burner is equipped with a thermocouple and safety

 

valve system which monitors the burner. This will turn the gas off if

 

the burner isn’t lit or the knob is not held in. The burner will ignite

 

within 4 seconds after the gas reaches the burner.

 

BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME OR

 

TO RE-SEASON

Fig. 56

1.Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.

2.Rinse with a mixture of 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.

3.Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth.

4.Turn the control knob to a Medium setting (350º F). Turn the heat “off” when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the griddle to cool.

5.Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil.

6.Repeat Step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth. Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use. If the griddle is not used for a period of time, re-season it occasionally.

NOTE:

It is normal for the griddle to darken with use.

USE OF THE GRIDDLE

Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the flue cover (Fig. 56), grease cup and drip tray are in place. Preheat griddle for 15 minutes with the control knob set to “HI”. When the griddle is preheated, turn the knob to “MEDIUM” or “LOW” depending on the temperature desired. Place the food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.

NOTE:

When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil. However, oil can be used for flavor. A light mist of non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier to turn.
