MKG SERIES GAS GRIDDLE | INSTALLATION & OPERATION |
4.BASIC OPERATION:
4.1. OPERATIONAL HELPFUL HINTS:
A.Each thermostat controls 12" of griddle surface, whenever possible, use the leftmost or rightmost thermostats for the lowest cooking temperatures. The adjacent thermostats set at higher temperatures will effect centrally located thermostats.
B.For quicker thermostat response during heavy loading of the griddle, load product directly over the thermostat sensing probe. For slow periods load product to one side of the sensing probe to limit possible overheating of unused griddle surface.
C.Whenever possible, rotate the location of where product is cooked, this will keep the entire 12" of the controlled area at a more even temperature.
D.If any product sticking occurs, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface before loading product.
E.When using spatulas or scrapers, it is Highly Recommended that the corners of the tools never strike the griddle surface with any force. This could cause damage to the surface that could collect food particles, and make it difficult to clean.
