NOTICE

New griddles should be carefully tempered and cared for in order to avoid possible damage. To break

in a new griddle, do the following:

Wipe the griddle surface clean. A mild soapy water solution may be used to clean the surface, if this solution is used be sure to rinse thoroughly with fresh water to eliminate any soap residue.

Seasoning is not required on a Chrome Plated Cooking surface, but the following procedure may be performed to improve the non-stick qualities of the chrome plated cooking surface.

2.2.1.Griddle Surface Seasoning

1.To season the griddle, light all the griddle burners and set the thermostats to 200°F. As the unit heats up to 200°F, apply a light film of cooking oil or beef suet over the entire cooking surface, wiping off any excess build up. This step may be repeated as necessary to apply an even coating on the griddle surface. Seasoning will help create and maintain a non-stick surface on your griddle.

2.Allow the seasoned surface to idle for one hour at 200°F, Then set the thermostats to your desired cooking temperature, once your griddle surface has reached temperature apply another coating of seasoning oil, wiping off any excess that may cause build up.

2.2.2.Surface Temperature Check

1.If available, place grill surface thermometer over each thermostat sensing probe 12" from the front edge of the griddle surface. The first sensing probe is located 6" from the left side of the griddle, additional sensing probes are every 12" to the right thereafter.

2.Heat the griddle up to the desired cooking temperature; check the surface temperature reading on the grill thermometer. If necessary, adjust the thermostats that control any area of the surface that are not within +/- 15°F of the thermostat setting. The procedure for adjusting the thermostats is in Section 3.
