INTRODUCTION

The Model RGP is uniquely designed to offer quality cooking. These units are constructed of food service quality stainless steel, and use fine grain cast iron top and bottom cooking surfaces. The grills are versatile in application and easy to operate. The moveable top is spring counter-balanced. Top and bottom heating elements are thermostatically controlled up to 570° F. The units come equipped with a removable front drip tray and a handy scraper. All models are available with grooved or flat plates.

SPECIFICATIONS

MODEL ELECTRICAL PLUG CONFIFURATION

RGP 120/208/240 Volts, 1 Phase, 1700/3000 Watts, 14/12/14 Amps NEMA-5-15P, NEMA-6-15P

OPERATION

INITIAL SET-UP

The RGP requires the installation of the front drip tray.

Take the unit out of the box. Position it carefully on its top on a flat, non-abrasive work surface. Put the grill in

its working position. DO NOT use legs as the lever when turning the unit. Insert the drip tray into the aperture

at the front of the grill.

The grill is shipped with an application of protective oil on the upper and lower grill plates. This oil will need to

be removed prior to the seasoning process using a mild soap and water solution.

Before operating your we recommend that you season the surface of the grill plates with cooking oil

or shortening. For seasoning, wipe cooking oil or shortening onto the upper and lower grill plates using a

clean, lint-free cloth, or coat the plates with cooking oil spray. Turn the grill on with the ON/OFF switch(s) and

set the thermostat(s) to 400 F. When the grill reaches the set temperature, the red indicator light will go out.

Allow the grill to season for 10-15 minutes and then let the grill cool. It is normal for some smoke to appear

during this process. Wipe off the excess oil using a clean, lint-free cloth. Repeat seasoning process at least

one more time. Congratulations, your grill is now ready for use!

PREHEATING

After the grill plates have been properly seasoned, turn the grill on using the ON/OFF switch (the green light

will go on). The following cooking modes can be chosen:

! Top & Bottom Heat Only

Turn the temperature control (thermostat) knob to the desired temperature. The red light will go on and stay

on until the desired temperature is reached. The red light will then go out. The preheat time will vary

depending on the cooking temperature setting, and if only bottom heat is used rather than both top and

bottom. It will normally take 10-15 minutes for the grill to reach cooking temperature. After reaching the set

temperature, the red light will cycle on and off as the thermostat cycles, to maintain temperature. The green

light remains on until the unit is shut off with the mode switch.

COOKING

Select the cooking mode by turning the mode selector switch to the desired position. Turn the thermostat

knob to select the desired temperature. Once the red indicator light on the control panel is out, the grill is

ready to use.

! Once set temperature is reached, raise the lid (upper cooking surface) by lifting the handle to the full

upright position.

! Place the menu item in the center of the lower cooking surface.

Page 6

! Lower the upper cooking surface gently onto the item. ! Set the timer for the desired cooking time. When the bell sounds, raise the upper cooking surface. If the

menu item is grilled to your satisfaction, remove the item. Grilling is complete.

! Clean the upper and lower cooking surfaces with the scraping tool provided with the grill. Always clean

surfaces after each item is grilled.

! A typical panini sandwich cooks for 3 minutes at approximately 400-450º Fahrenheit (5½ on the

temperature dial).

For favorable results, porous focaccia bread is recommended, although any bread may be used.

APW Wyott Rhino Grills can be used for a wide variety of foods. Following are some suggested guidelines for foods frequently cooked on this grill. Cooking times will vary depending on the food products, temperature settings and desired results.

SANDWICH PREPARATION GUIDELINES

Spread

Vegetables

Cheese

Bread (Bottom)

PREPARARTION STEPS

1) Prepare, cut or slice all ingredients

2) Prepare all bread to be utilized. With focaccia bread, sheet pan size or round focaccia should be cut

horizontally with serrated knife to make two even horizontal halves.

3) Lay bread halves, side by side, open face.

4) Cover the spread lightly on the inside of both horizontally cut bread halves, just enough to coat.

5) Cover bottom first half of bread with one layer of cheese slices. (Cheese provides protection from inner

water based ingredients, such as the vegetable and meats from moistening bread)

6) Cover cheese with thin layer of meat.

7) Layer vegetables (thin sliced red onions, tomatoes, etc....).

8) Add another layer of cheese to the top of sandwich.

9) Finally place uncovered half of bread over the covered half and you have a sandwich.

10) Cut sandwich into portions (i.e. 4” x 4” for the sheet pan focaccia “pizza size slices” for the round

focaccia)

Bread (Top)

Cheese

Meat

Spread

GRILLING

1) Preheat grill to setting #5, recommended for sandwiches

2) Place sandwich portion on grill and set top grill plate on sandwich, pressing slightly.

3) Set timer for approximately 3 minutes. Sandwich grilling depends on three (3) variables that may be

adjusted for desired cooking. (a) Bread density, (b) grill temperature, and (c) time duration of cook. Grill testing should be done to obtain desired results.

4) Remove sandwich from grill and place in either a sandwich wrap or put on plate depending upon desired presentation.

Page 7

DESIRED SANDWICH CHARACTERISTICS

1) Bread should be hot and crisp on the outside, inner ingredients warm and moist on the inside.

2) Cheese should have melted thoroughly over the inner ingredients from top and bottom.

3) Inner sandwich temperature should be very warm but not hot enough to burn palate.

CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electric power supply before servicing

Allow the grill to cool before cleaning. Using the scraper provided or a stiff wire brush, scrape the debris from the upper and then lower grill plates. To clean the grill, scrape or brush the debris toward yourself and into the removable drip tray. Use a cloth dampened slightly with a soap and water mixture to clean the stainless steel housing, upper grill covers, spring protection cover and the drip tray. Clean the grill thoroughly at the end of each day. Failure to do so may cause hard to remove build up. In order to remove the build up from the grill plates, use industry standard food service grade de-greasers or grease removers. We do not recommend using soap and water to clean the grill plates, however, if soap and water are used, the grill will need to be re-seasoned (see below). For tough to remove carbon buildup, use a commercially available carbon remover.

DO NOT spray the unit with any cleaning liquid before unplugging it

DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or around the electrical components

DO NOT immerse in water for cleaning

! ! WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning

RE-SEASONING

It may be necessary to re-season the grill after cleaning and extended use. In order to do so, clean both plates of the grill with a clean, lint-free cloth and scraper. Apply cooking oil or shortening onto both plates with a lint-free cloth or coat the plates with a cooking oil spray. Wipe off excess oil with a dry, clean cloth. Turn the grill on and set the thermostat to 400 F. Some smoking may occur during the re-seasoning process. When the grill reaches the desired temperature (the red light will go out), turn the grill off and allow it to cool. Wipe off the excess oil from the surface of the plates. Repeat the re-seasoning process one more time. The grill is now re-seasoned and ready to use.

You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all is in proper working order. If a part is damaged, have the unit repaired by an authorized service agency prior to returning the unit to operation. If you have trouble locating a service agency in your area, please consult our website at

http://www.apwwyott.com/

ADJUSTING HANDLE TENSION

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electric power supply before servicing

Allow the grill to cool. Remove the spring protection cover at the top rear of the unit by pulling it up. If this is difficult, you may need to pry it off carefully, with a flat blade screwdriver. With a flat head screwdriver, tighten or loosen the screws on the handle straps until the desired tension is achieved. There are four (4) screws for each top plate, two (2) on each side. Re-install the spring protection cover prior to use. See attached drawing.
