PLATE OF THE UNIT.

INITIAL START UP

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

Before using the unit for the fi rst time, wipe
down the exterior and grilling area with a damp
cloth. Take to a well ventilated area and heat for
approximately 30 minutes. The grill may emit a
small amount of smoke as the cooking surfaces
reaches 450°F. Do not be alarmed, as the smoke
is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing
process and will stop when the burn off is complete.
Brush off any debris from the grilling surface.

SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES

The cooking surfaces must be "seasoned" in order
to reduce product sticking. To season, bring grill
to 300°F, until completed. Brush upper and lower
cooking surfaces with a a salt free liquid vegitable
oil. If using an aerosol agent, fi rst apply into a cup
and then brush onto cooking surface. Let sit for 20
minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm damp
cloth. Repeat if required.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

The thermostat control knob is used to set the
temperature to your requirements. The maximum
set point is 450°F (232°C), the minimum set point
is 175°F (79°C). See Knob Settings.

DAILY OPERATION

Check the power cord to insure that it is plugged
into a proper outlet.

Check that the thermostat control is turned on.
The Pilot Light will come on when the thermostat
control goes past the 175°F.

Set the thermostat control knob to desired
temperature.

Always allow 20 minutes of preheat time before
loading the unit with product. Failure to allow
suffi cient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory
cooking of the fi rst load.

OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY

Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at the
end of each day of operation.

Do not leave the unit in operation without an
attendant.

Turn thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle
periods. It will take only a few minutes to regain
operating temperature.

Use spatula to push excess grease into grease cup
after each load of food is cooked. This will reduce
smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.

Do not leave the unit at high temperature when not
in use or during idle periods. This will cause food
particles and grease fi lm to carbonize.

"Season" cooking surfaces with non-salted
vegetable oil to reduce product sticking.

MONTHLY LUBRICATION/INSPECTION

Apply two (2) drops of non-toxic mineral or
vegetable oil to hinge bracket at the rear.

Check the bolts, screws and nuts, tighten if
necessary.

CLEANING

While holding top lid with one hand, apply only
cleaners which are safe for aluminum and iron

surfaces. Wipe with clean sponge or towel
until unit is clean.

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

NOTE: It is best not to let food cook on to the grill,
as build up of food on the grill will increase sticking
and smoking. In addition, carbon may build up on
the grill surface and reduce the cooking effi ciency.

2. At the end of the day, wipe down all surfaces
with a warm, damp cloth, use a mild detergent
on all non-cooking areas and then dry entire
unit.

3. Remove and empty to clean grease catcher
cup as required using mild detergent and
water.

CLEANING CARBON BUILDUP

1. When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon
removal agent to clean cooking surface. When
this process is completed, you must re-season
the grill (See Seasoning Grill).

Oiling the Hinge

TOP HOUSING MAINTENANCE

The Spring setting which holds the top housing
in the up position is set at the factory and should
provide many years of use without the need of
adjusting. After a extended period of time the
top housing may not maintain its original setting,
therefore the spring tension can be adjusted by
tightening and loosening the Retainer bolts on the

back of the unit.

2. Acidic cleaners are NOT recommended as a
cleaning agent.

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.

CAUTION

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

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