Installation

Remove the Cecilware Griddle/Cheesemelter from the packaging. Be certain that all protective plastics and residues are thoroughly cleaned from its surface.
Place the Cecilware Griddle/Cheesemelter on a firm level surface; the adjustable feet can assist in leveling.
Local standards and regulations should be consulted in order to abide by standards set in relation to positioning, spacing and ventilation. Cecilware recommends that you allow no less than 4” ventilation gap around the perimeter of this unit. Common sense and initiative should be used when choosing a position and operating of this product.
Caution:
Do not position or operate near combustible materials/flammable objects. Once your Griddle/Cheesemelter has been placed into position, be sure that the st ainless ste el waste and
crumb trays have been correctly positioned. Supply the appropriate power and connect to source; your Griddle/Cheesemelter is now ready to turn on
and operate. (For power supply, please see technical specification sheet, page 10)
Preparing the cooking surface:
Be sure the cooking surface is clean; then simply turn the unit on and apply a generous amount of oil to the plates, using the thermostat setting of 230º F for the grill. Once the grill has reached that temperature, switch off and wipe the plates clean of excess oil.
The Cheesemelter part of this unit does not need any preparation; it is ready to use.
Caution: The grill and oil will be HOT!!!!!!

Operation

Your Griddle/Cheesemelter should be turned on prior to usage to al low the cooking surface to warm up; 5 minutes should be sufficient.
To get efficient use out of this unit while in intermittent use, it is recommended that the thermostat be turned down, when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for a quicker heating response when needed.
Cecilware recommends that the cooking surface be lightly greased before each use. For ch eesemelting or finishing, simply adjust the grilling grid to your needs beneath the hotplate and element.
Turn the thermostat dial towards the “ON” position. T he amber pilot light will activate to confirm this; adjust the dial to the required setting. As the grill plate fluctuates in temperature, the thermostat will operate to maintain set temperature and the light will continue to indicate when the elements are heating or have reached the required temperature. Both the cheesemelter and the grill plate run off the one element and thermostat.
A temperature setting of between 375º F and 430º F will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for a particular food type, individual needs, or experience.
Simply place the food products on the grilling surface and cook to your needs. For cheesemelting or finishing, place the food products on the grilling grid supplied and slide into the unit.

Cleaning, Care and Maintenance

*Switch the power off and disconnect from power source when cleaning. *The Griddle/Cheesemelter should be cleaned regularly throughout use, and thoroughly cleaned after
each meal period. Regular cleaning will result in easier cleaning, as the build up of waste food particles will be less. Correct preparation of the cooking surface when first used will assist in keeping the plates clean.
*For best results, clean the plates while still warm using warm soapy water. A nylon cleaning cloth can be used, but it is recommended that steel wool etc. be avoided, as they will damage the plates. Do not use cold water on warm plates; a buckling effect may occur.
*When scrubbing the plates, take care not to clean back too far. If you do, you may have to prepare the cooking surface again before use.
*Remove the waste and crumb trays from unit and discard waste; clean in hot soapy water. *The remainder of the Griddle/Cheesemelter can be cleaned with a damp cloth u sing h ot, soapy water. *Warm soapy water is recommended for cleaning, cleaning agents after prolonged use can damage
stainless steel.
