SEASONING THE GRIDDLE

Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every cleaning. Heat griddle to a low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil – about one ounce per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.

CONTROLS

There is one pilot and one safety valve for every two burners except on the 36” and 60” models. The 36” and 60” models have an odd number of main burners, therefore one of the sets of pilots and safety valves in these models will control only one main burner. The pilot burners are aligned with the safety valve bush buttons and pilot sight holes. The pilot burners are inset 12” from the front panel.

This model features an electric ignition system that is controlled by the power switch. The power switch turns the electric ignition system off and on only. It is recommended that the power switch stay in the ON position while the unit is running. The burners and pilots will continue to work with the power switch in the OFF position until the gas supply to the unit is cut off.

The pilots are monitored by thermocouples and pilot safety valves. If the pilot goes out and the corresponding power switch is in the ON position, the igniter will immediately reignite the pilot. If the pilot does not achieve reignition in a short period of time, the safety valve will shut-off the gas supply to the pilot and main burners. In the event of a failure of the electronic ignition system, it is possible to ignite the pilots with an outside ignition source (such as a lit taper, etc). See pilot lighting procedure on page 8.

Each 12” section of the griddle is independently controlled by a mechanical snap-action thermostatic valve. The thermostats have an operating range of 200 to 550 degrees. Once pilots are lit, turning the thermostats to the desired setting is all that is required to put the unit into service.
