OPERATION

THERMOSTAT — Each thermostat controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the griddle plate up to the set temperature.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The griddle is shipped covered with a protective coating of grease. Remove this film only when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Use a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial cleaner, following manufacturer's directions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion. Heat griddle to a low (300-350°F) temperature and pour on a small amount of cooking oil (about one ounce per square foot of surface). Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the procedure two to three times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like surface. This should also be done after every cleaning.
