Installation

Remove the Cecilware Griddle from the packaging. Be certain that all protective plastics and residues are
thoroughly cleaned from its surface.

Place your Cecilware Griddle 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” for a ventilation
gap around the perimeter of this unit. Common sense and initiative should be used when choosing position
and operation of this product.

Caution:

Do not position or operate near combustible materials/flammable objects.
Once your Griddle has been placed in position, be sure that the stainless steel waste tray is correctly

positioned.
Supply the appropriate power and connect to source; your Griddle 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, set the grill to 230° F; once the grill has reached that temperature, switch off and
with care wipe the plates clean of excess oil.

Caution the grill and oil will be HOT!!!!!!

Operation

Your Griddle should be turned on prior to usage to allow the cooking surface to warm up; 5 minutes is
sufficient.

To get efficient use from this unit, it is recommended that for intermittent use that the thermostat be turned
down when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for quicker heat
response when needed.

Cecilware recommends that the cooking surface is lightly grease d before each use.
Turn the thermostat dial towards the "ON" position; the 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; the light will continue to indicate when the elements are heating or have reached the required
temperature.

A temperature setting of between 375ºF and 430ºF will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for
particular food types, individual needs, or experience.

Simply place the food products on the grilling surface and cook to your need s.

Cleaning, Care and Maintenance

*Switch off the power and disconnect from the power source.
*The Griddle should be cleaned regularly throughout use, and thoroughly cleaned after each meal period.

Regular cleaning will result in easier cleaning, as the build up will be less. Correct preparation of the cooking
surface when first used, will assist in keeping the plates clean.

*For best results clean the plate while still warm using warm soapy water. A nylon cleaning cloth may be used,
but it is recommended that you avoid scrapers made from steel, wool, as they will damage the plate. Do not
use cold water on warm plates, as buckling ef fect may occur.

*When scrubbing the plates, do not clean too thoroughly; if you do, you must prepare the cooking surface
again before use.

*Remove waste tray from unit and discard waste; clean in hot soapy water.
*The remainder of the Griddle can be cleaned with a damp cloth using hot, soapy water.
*Warm soapy water is recommended for cleaning; prolonged use of cleaning agents may damage stainless

steel.
* Do not immerse in water.
