IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover mus t be

removed prior to operating the griddle.

•Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes pr ior to using

the griddle.

counterclockwise to the desired te mperature. It is

normal to hear a clicking sound. This is the electronic

ignition lighting the burne r.When the bur ner is lit, the

thermostat will control the tempe rature.

•When the griddle is preheated, the griddle indicator

light will go out. The light will cyc le on and off as the

thermostat requires more heat to maint ain the set

temperature. This will allow heat t o be evenly distrib-

uted and the griddle to maintain the set temperature.

•The double griddle has two burners with separate

control knobs that act independently of each other.If

only one griddle is being used, there will be some heat

transfer to the inactive griddl e.

•Toturn the griddle off, turn the control knob clockwise

to the OFF position.

Infrared Griddle

The optional griddle is thermostatically controlled, which

means once the set temperature is reached, the heat

cycles to hold that temperature. To prevent food from

sticking and to protect the surface f rom moisture, it is

necessary to “season” the griddle prior to use. This

seasoning process as well as general use will change the

appearance of the griddle.

SEASON THE GRIDDLE

•The griddle is shipped with a protective oil coating the

surface, use hot water and detergent to clean. Rinse

and dry.

•Turnon the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using

the griddle.

•The griddle needs to go through a “burn in” period.

Turn the griddle on at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minu tes to

clean oils from the bottom of the gridd le. After 30

minutes, turn the griddle off and a llow it to cool.

•Toseason, pour a teaspoon (5 ml) of peanut or

vegetable oil per single griddl e in the center; spread

evenly with a paper towel, avoidi ng the corners. Be

careful not to apply too much oil. Exce ss oil will leave a

gummy residue that will have to be remov ed.

•Push and turn the control knob to 350°F (175°C). Heat

until you see the first signs of smok e. Turnthe g riddle

off. When the griddle has cooled and is o nly slightly

warm, wipe off any excess oil. Let the gr iddle cool

completely.

•Repeat with another teaspoon of oil. The brown

appearance will darken with use.
