INITIAL START UP
Pre-Power On
Before turning the griddle on verify all electrical connections and remove excess shipping grease
from the griddle surface.
Turning the Power On
Set the main power switch, located at the far left of the control panel, to the “ON” (up) position (there
are two “ON” switches on the 5 and 6-foot griddles).
Set each cooking section’s power switch, located next to each temperature dial, to the “ON” (up)
position.
Set the temperature dials to 200°F (93°C).
Heat the griddle at 200°F (93°C) for 2 hours to evaporate any moisture that may be in the elements.
After 2 hours at 200°F (93°C), turn the griddle temperature up to 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes.
After the griddle reaches 350°F (177°C) for 30 minutes, turn the griddle up another 50°F (10°C) for
another 30 minutes and repeat this until the griddle is at 450°F (232°C) for 30 minutes
The griddle may emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surface passes the 300°F (149°C)
point. Do not be alarmed as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing process
and will stop when the griddle reaches 350°F (177°C).
Season the Cooking Surface
The cooking surface must be “seasoned” in order to eliminate product sticking during cooking.
To season, heat the griddle to 250°F (121°C).
Once at 250°F (121°C), coat the cooking surface with non-salted vegetable oil.
Allow the griddle to stand at 250°F (121°C) until the cooking surface looks dry then coat it again.
Heat the griddle to 350°F (177°C) and repeat the procedure.
amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a faint odor from the
smoke. This is normal for a new griddle and will disappear after
therstfewhoursofuse.

OPERATION
General
The suggested time and temperature chart (below) is provided as a guide for the products listed only.
If different temperature settings are to be used, select one side of the griddle and operate at the
lowest temperature. Adjoining sections should be set at progressively higher temperatures.
Do not try to operate the end sections hot and the center sections cool.
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF

Operations
An understanding of how the griddle sections are controlled will be a valuable aid in loading product
on your unit.
Each 12-inch section of your griddle is independently controlled by a temperature controller. The
temperature control sensor is mounted in the center of each cooking section under the griddle plate.
If the product is loaded directly over the temperature sensor, that section will turn on and the
burner will heat the entire cooking section. If the product is loaded to the side, front or back of the
temperature sensor, the thermostat will react to the temperature change much slower.
During slow periods with minimal loads,

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning
• Always start with a cold griddle.
• The stainless exterior can easily be cleaned using a good non-abrasive cleaner.
• Always follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions when using any cleaner.
• Always apply these cleaners when the griddle is cold and rub in the direction of the metal’s grain.
Griddle Surface Care (non-chromium surfaces)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efciency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difcult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions
for cleanliness should be followed:
• After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or exible spatula to remove excess grease
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use pumice
or griddle stone while the griddle is warm.
Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers getting into the food.
Carbon Cleaning
When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent according to the instructions provided
with the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season the grill according to you
company/corporate guidelines, or the seasoning instructions in this manual
Always apply these cleaners when the griddle is cold and rub in the direction of the metal’s grain.
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF CONTROLS. NEVER
SPRAY OR HOSE CONTROL CONSOLE.
WARNING
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE
CAUTION
NOTICE: Never leave a chlorine sanitizer in contact with stainless steel
SHIELD AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ THE

Calibration Check
Place thermometer or thermocouple in the center of griddle directly over the sensor.
Set thermostat to 350°F (177°).
Allow the griddle to Preheat for at least 30 minutes.
Note cycle “ON” temperatures and cycle “OFF” temperatures for 3 cycles.
(Red indicator light indicates when the griddle is calling for heat)
After 3 cycles average the temperature. (Add all six temperatures and divide by 6).
The temp should be +/-10°F (-12°C).
Calibration Adjustment
A 1/16” at blade screwdriver with a 2” shaft is required to make adjustments on the thermostat.
Maintain the griddle temperature at 350°F (177°C).
Without turning the thermostat, remove the knob.
Locate the adjustment screw at the base of the shaft and insert the screwdriver.
Grasp the shaft and turn the screwdriver. Counter clockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease
(1/8 of a turn will move the temperature 5-7° (in either direction).
Reinstall the thermostat knob and recheck the griddle temperature.
