OPERATION
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the griddle.

CONTROLS
Each thermostat independently controls a 12” wide griddle section. When each thermostat is turned ON, the corresponding red indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the elements are on for that section. When the griddle plate reaches the desired temperature set point, the elements will be turned off for that section and the indicator light will go off. At the end of each day, you must turn all the thermostats to the OFF position to turn off the unit.
USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, set the thermostats for the desired temperatures
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results.
The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface. Do not use hardened steel spatulas. Use a mild steel with rounded corners.
