SECTION 1 ­GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The griddle plates are part of the Dominator Plus series of products.

The unit is 400mm wide and is controlled by means of a graduated thermostat.

Warning - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

SECTION 2 ­CONTROLS and OPERATION

This unit must be installed by a suitably qualified person.
A mains input connecting cable is not supplied. A suitable cable should be provided by the installer.
The appliance control knob is marked from 1 to 5 to control plate heat (see Figure 1).
A red neon located on the control panel indicates that electricity is being supplied, i.e. the isolating switch is ON

and plate is ready for use.
The amber neon lights when the element is being supplied with current. When thermostat operates, the amber

neon will go out to indicate that temperature setting has been reached.
Do not leave griddle running on a high setting for prolonged periods when not cooking. If it is considered desirable

to maintain plate heat under these conditions, it is important to turn down control to a low setting.
This will save energy and prevent possible overheating of plate.

SECTION 3 - CHEF’S TIPS

Getting the best result from the griddle plate is largely a matter of experience, coupled with any particular task.
It is not practicable to provide detailed instructions for cooking any particular type of food, plate temperature

must be regulated for different circumstances.
For example, fried eggs require a lower temperature setting. Meat (i.e. steaks, chops, beefburgers, etc.)

require a much higher setting for successful results.
The food absorbs heat from the plate, when the griddle is in continuous use and cooking large quantities of food, it

may be necessary to turn the control to a higher setting than is be required for smaller batches.

Seasoning the Griddle

Wash griddle surface to remove grease. Rinse and dry thoroughly before use.
Brush plate surface liberally with frying oil and cover it with a layer of salt to a depth of at least 10mm.
Set control to 3 and heat for 45 minutes.

Remove salt without scratching plate surface and wipe down thoroughly with a dry cloth.

SECTION 4 ­CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

• Switch off electricity supply prior to cleaning.

• Clean griddle plate with hot, soapy water and a soft cloth.

NEVER USE a spray jet to clean this appliance.
Surplus fat, etc. produced during the cooking process is drained off into a fat drawer.
Take care not to allow it to overflow and clean it out daily.

A broad metal scraper should be used to remove heavy deposits from plate surface. This should be carried out
regularly, not only during cleaning sessions.
