Operation, Controls, Before First USE | Hobart CG55 ML-CG55480S001

OPERATION

WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE GRIDDLE.

This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by carelessly using a spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

CONTROLS

Thermostat: Controls temperature of griddle surface. Each thermostat controls a 12" wide griddle section independently.

Red Indicator Lights: When lit, indicates heating elements are providing heat to that section of the griddle. When off, indicates that particular section has reached set temperature. Flashes on and off during the cooking operation to show that correct temperature is being maintained.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The griddle is shipped with a protective coating of grease. Remove this grease when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first use. Using a mild detergent and hot water, wash the griddle well, Rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

The metal surface of the griddle is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is important to "season" or "fill up" these pores with cooking oil before cooking on any metal-surfaced griddle. Seasoning gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.

To season, heat the griddle to 400°F (when 400°F is reached, the red indicator light goes off). Pour on a small amount of cooking oil (about one ounce per square foot of surface). With a cloth, spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wait 2 minutes, then wipe off excess oil. Repeat this operation.

USING THE GRIDDLE

To turn the griddle on, turn the thermostat(s) to the desired setting. To turn the griddle off, turn all thermostats to the OFF position. For extended shutdown, turn all thermostats to the OFF position, and turn off electric supply to the griddle. If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease over the griddle plate to inhibit rusting.

To preheat the griddle, turn the thermostat(s) on 15-20 minutes before cooking. Load the griddle and cook according to the recipe. Turn foods half-way through cooking time unless otherwise specified in the recipe.

CLEANING

After Each Cooking Load: Scrape the griddle surface with a scraper or rigid spatula to remove excess fat and food particles. Take care that the integral splashback is not vigorously banged with the spatula.

Once A Day or When Necessary: Thoroughly clean and wipe out the grease trough around the griddle. As necessary during use, wipe out accumulated material to provide good drainage.

Remove the grease drawer, empty it and wash in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.

Wipe the griddle exterior clean with a damp cloth and dry.
