Section 3 - OPERATION

C. Griddle Operation

IMPORTANT: Do not turn griddle on before seasoning procedure has been completed.

IMPORTANT: If your griddle is new you must remove the rust preventative material before turning the griddle on. Refer to Section 2, Installation, Paragraph E.

1.Griddle Seasoning Procedure.

a.Preheat the griddle to 300°F(149°C) and spread a light film of unsalted cooking oil or fat over the surface with a soft cloth.

b.Allow griddle to stand this way for two minutes to give the oil an opportunity to work into the pores of the metal and to form a smooth coating over the outside.

c.Wipe off excess oil and repeat Steps 1 and 2 at 350°F(175°C).

d.After the second step is complete wipe off excess cooking oil, set thermostat control knob for desired temperature. The griddle is now ready for use.

2.Operating Hints and Safety

Although the finest materials, engineering and manufacturing facilities have provided for safety and trouble -free operation, only proper use and maintenance will assure personnel safety and long life of the equipment. The following are a few precautions and operating suggestions for use of the griddle.

a. Disconnect power to the griddle at the disconnect switch at the end of each day of operation.

b. Do not leave the griddle in operation without an attendant.

c. Turn thermostat dials down to 200°F(93°C) during idle periods. It takes only a few minutes to regain operating temperatures.

d. Do not heat the entire griddle for cooking small amounts of food.

e. Various kinds of foods can be cooked at the same time by setting each section of the griddle at different temperatures.

f. Use a spatula to push excess grease into troughs after each load of food is cooked. This will reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.

g. Do not leave griddle at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods. This will cause food particles and grease film to carbonize.

3. Daily Griddle Operation and Maintenance.

Daily Pre-Operation

a. Season the griddle before operation daily, as described in Step 1 above.

b. Turn the temperature controls to the desired temperature and allow 15 minutes or preheat time before loading griddle with food. Green signal light will remain on while heating elements are energized and griddle is coming up to set temperature. This will allow time for the griddle surface to be saturated with heat. Failure to allow sufficient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory cooking of the first load. The following chart indicates cooking time and temperature for various type of food.

c. If a portion of the griddle is to be used for holding, then set the temperature controls for different temperatures.
