Garland E24-60G, E24-72G, E24-48G, E24-36G, E24-24G, E24-12H operation manual Initial Operation

INITIAL OPERATION

Before use allow the griddle plate to reach room temperature.. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly by washing with hot water and mild soap to remove rust preventative.. Rinse and dry well..

Griddle Seasoning Instructions

1Remove all factory applied protective material by washing with hot water, mild detergent or soap solution..

2.Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface, about one ounce per square foot of griddle surface.. Spread over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film.. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth..

3.Turn on all thermostats, some discoloration will occur when heat is applied to the steel..

4.Heat the griddle slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, then wipe away the oil.. Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror like finish.. Do this until you have reached the desired cooking temperature..

IMPORTANT: Do not attain 450° F (232° C) (on the thermostat control) during the “break-in” period.. The griddle will not require re-seasoning if it is used properly, if the griddle is over heated and product begins to stick to the surface it may be necessary to repeat the seasoning process again.. If the griddle is cleaned with soap and water it will be necessary to re-season the griddle surface again..

OPERATION

Open Type Burners

It should be pointed out that the open burners are not designed or intended heavy-duty service.. Use of large stockpots will severely damage the surface elements and is not normally covered under the warranty policy! It is recommended that cooking utensils no larger than 10” (254

mm)in diameter and with a capacity no larger than 1 gallon (3..79 liters) be used on the surface elements..

Infinite switches are used to control the front and rear heating elements.. Numbers on switch knobs provide the following:

HI – 5		High Heat
5	– 3	Medium Heat
3	– LO	Low Heat

Setting the switches between these numbers will give intermediate heats.. Switches are reversible and may be turned right or left..

Surface heating units should not be left on high heat if not covered by a cooking utensil.. Turn the switch to number 4 position or lower when units are idling.. Failure to do this will shorten the life of the surface heating elements..

Two (2) pilot indicator lamps are provided, one for each heating unit and these will illuminate when heat is being produced by the elements..

E24 Series Griddles

All E24 series griddles are thermostatically controlled from 125° to 450°F (52° to 232° C).. To operate, turn the thermostats to desired temperature.. Indicator lamps will come “ON” and as the griddle areas reach the desired temperature the indicator lamp will go “OFF”.. As the thermostats call for more heat, the indicator lamps will come “ON” and will continue to cycle “OFF” and “ON” as the thermostat operates..

Do not waste electricity or abuse equipment by leaving thermostat at high temperature settings if not required.. Throughout all idling periods, set the thermostat to low temperature settings to keep the griddle warm.. Re-set thermostat as required for periods of heavy use.. Turn the thermostat to “OFF” at end of daily operation..
