NOTE: Because of the superior heating characteristics and heat retention properties found in the MIRACLEAN® Griddle, operating temperatures should be set 10°F to 25°F below conventional griddles.

3.Locate the inverted “V’s” on the front of the griddle cooking plate. Depending on your model you may have from one to six thermostats. The “V’s” indicate where the thermostat sensing bulbs are located below the plate.

4.Load the product to the left and right of each inverted “V” first, then fill the area above the thermostat sensing bulb. See figure 3-1 below.

Thermostat Bulb Location

 

If you cook over the sensing bulb only, you are drawing heat from that section, activating the thermostat to call for more heat even though the area around it is still at the temperature setting. This will result in higher surface temperatures which will affect your cooking and product appearance.

5.After each load, scrape the griddle surface completely clean using the 4” wide replaceable blade scraper.

NOTE: DO NOT HACK, CHOP, HIT OR CUT ON THE MIRACLEAN® SURFACE. You will dent the steel plate under the trivalent chrome. It is even possible to hack two nicks close together and actually tear the MIRACLEAN® surface as the chromium will not stretch. Below is a sketch showing the side view of a griddle plate and how the surface can be damaged. Proper use of the utensils supplied with your MIRACLEAN Griddle will prevent surface damage.
