4.Re-set the thermostat to 275°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 200˚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..

2.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..

4.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..

2.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..

4..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..
