ALL UNITS

MANUAL TEMP CONTROL OPERATION

Initial Start Up

Level unit using the adjustable feet under the unit (approximately
1/2" adjustment).

Before using the unit for the rst time, clean and heat for

approximately 45 minutes. The grill may emit a small amount of
smoke as the cooking surfaces reach 300-350°F. Do not be alarmed,
as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing
process and will stop when the grill reaches 400°F. Best to do this
in a well ventilated area.

Seasoning The Cooking Surfaces

First Time Seasoning

Follow your company/corporate guidelines for seasoning cooking
surfaces or:

1. Bring the grill to 300°F (No. 5 for mechanical units) and leave
it on while doing the next three steps.

2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a SALT-FREE release agent.

If using an aerosol agent, rst apply into a cup and then brush

onto cooking surface.

3. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm
damp cloth.

Daily Seasoning

The grill should not require much seasoning while in use. In most
cases, brush a light coating of a SALT-FREE baking release agent
in the morning and occasionally throughout the day will be enough
to prevent any sticking. It is not necessary to spray before grilling
each item.

Operating Instructions

1. Turn the unit on by placing the switch in the ON position.
The HEAT ON indicator will be lit until it reaches operating
temperature. Initial startup heating time is approximately 30
minutes. When the unit reaches operating temperature, the
heat indicator will turn off.

2. Place product on the bottom cooking surface of the unit and
close the lids.

3. Timer Only:
Press the PROGRAM button to start, the displayed time will
count down to "0" at which time the unit will beep. To turn
off the beeper, press the PROGRAM button again.

4. Raise the lid until it engages into the rst detent and remove

food. Using a spatula, scrape residue into the grease catcher
tray.

NOTE: Metal utensils may be used, however, using nonmetal

utensils will prolong the life of the cooking surface.

5. Turn the unit off when it is not in use.

Setting The Temperature

The thermostat control knob is used to set the temperature to
your requirements. The maximum set point is 550°F (288°C), the

minimum set point is 175°F (79°C), in most models. For specic

information regarding your unit, go to www.star-mfg.com/scripts/manuals.

Cleaning

Begin cleaning procedure by using the operating procedures within
your organization, or follow the steps below:

1. If particles adhere to the cooking surface during the day, scrape
them off with a spatula.

2. At the end of the day, wipe down all surfaces with a warm,
damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry.

3. Remove, empty & clean the grease catcher drawer as required
using mild detergent and water.

NOTE: It is best not to let food cook onto the grill, as food build-up
on the grill will increase sticking and smoking. In addition, carbon

may build up on the grill surface and reduce the cooking efciency.

Carbon Buildup: A black matter that forms on or near the cooking
surface. Generally this is a combination of: releasing agents, oils,
food particles etc. ,that have cooked to the surface. After a period
of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and material

may start aking off. When that happens, follow the "Carbon
Cleaning" procedures.

CAUTION

DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN
WATER.

DO NOT HOSE DOWN THE UNIT OR THE TABLE/
COUNTER IF THE UNIT IS ON THE TABLE/COUNTER.

KEEP AWAY FROM RUNNING WATER.

DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE
CARBON BUILD-UP.

Carbon Cleaning

When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent (safe
for aluminum surfaces) according to the instructions provided with
the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season
the grill according to your company/corporate guidelines, or the
seasoning instructions in this manual.

DO NOT USE ICE ON THE COOKING SURFACE!

BEFORE CLEANING MAKE SURE POWER IS TURNED
OFF, UNIT IS UNPLUGGED AND IS NOT TOO HOT.

Apply only cleaners which are safe for aluminum
and iron surfaces.

DO NOT SPLASH FRONT CONTROL PANEL!

DO NOT SPLASH FLEX CONDUIT CONNECTING TOP
AND BOTTOM OF THE UNIT.
