OPERATION (continued)

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

Exposed surfaces

can be hot to the touch and may cause burns.

As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.

Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are filled by the chrome plating, no seasoning of the griddle surface is required.

IMPORTANT: SCRATCHES WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF CHROME GRIDDLES!

DO NOT use anything on this griddle that could scratch the surface.

DO NOT clean chrome surface with griddle bricks, pumice stone or abrasive cleansers.

DO NOT bang or tap pots, pans, spatulas or other metal utensils on chromed griddle surface as this may damage the chrome plating.

NOTE: Separate sections of the griddle may be set to different temperatures. This will allow a variety of products to be prepared at the same time, and will allow prepared product to be held at serving temperature after cooking.

GRIDDLE OPERATION

1.SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES

a.Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).

b.Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface

c.Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until it smokes.

d.Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is removed.

e.For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the griddle has a slick, clean surface.

2.CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES

a.Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth and a small amount of mild detergent.

b.Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.

c.The griddle is now ready to use.

USING THE GRIDDLE

1.Check the chart below for recommended cooking temperatures. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the indicator light first goes out, the griddle is ready to use.

2.For standard griddles, keep the griddle surface clean and well oiled during use. Scrape cooking waste into the grease trough frequently during use. Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of cooking oil on the griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick surface.

3.For chrome plated griddles, scrape cooking waste into the grease trough after preparing each order.
