INITIAL START UP

Level unit using the adjustable feet under the unit (approximately 1/2" adjustment).
Unpack the grill and put the owner's manual in a safe place for future reference. If rust is

visible on the grill, use a non-metallic scouring pad and scrub off the surface rust. Wipe down
the exterior and grilling area with a damp cloth. Take the grill to a ventilated area and turn
the thermostat to 8-9 to burn off the factory oil. The "burn off" is complete when the smoke is
gone (approximately 30 minutes). Brush any debris from the grill surfaces. Allow the grill to
cool and place it in its permanent position.

SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES (Non-Chrome Only)

FIRST TIME SEASONING

Follow your company/corporate guidlines for seasoning cooking surfaces. or

1. Bring the grill to 300°F and leave it on while doing the next three steps.

2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a 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 the baking release agent in the morning and occasionally throughtout the day will be enough
to prevent any sticking. It is not necessary to spray before grilling each item.

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).

1-2 175°F / 79°C
3 200°F / 93°C
4 250°F / 121°C
5 300°F / 148°C

ON/OFF/ON TOGGLE SWITCH (CG10IT & GR10IT ONLY)
The switch turns the unit on and off. The switch has three positions:

With the switch in this position, both top and bottom platens will heat.

With the switch in this position, neither platen will heat; the unit is OFF.

With the switch in this position only the bottom platen will heat.

DAILY OPERATION

Make sure the unit is plugged into the proper voltage and amp specied on the nameplate.

1. Turn the electrical power of the unit ON by placing the switch in either the up or down
position. IMPORTANT: The heat will not start until the thermostat is also turned to the
heating position, approximately 2 or higher on the dial.

2. To start heating, turn the temperature knob to the desired setting.
Initial start-up heating time is approximately 30 minutes.

3. Place product(s) on the bottom cooking surface.

4. Close the lid if the top if also ON. If the top is OFF, the unit can be operated similar to a
griddle.

5. Press the desired button (1 through 4) on the timer.
The timer countdown will begin regardless of what button is pressed.

6. When the countdown reaches 0:00, the display will ash and the unit will beep.
To turn off the beeping, press the same button (1 through 4) used to start the
countdown.

NOTE: If one wants to end a countdown, the same button (1 through 4) can be

pressed at any time in the countdown cycle. The display will return to the programmed
time for that button.

7. Raise the lid to the open position and remove the product(s).

8. For best performance, keep the lid closed when products are not being cooked.

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 the thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle periods. It will take only a few minutes
to regain operating temperature. Use a spatula to push excess grease into the grease drawer
after each load of food is cooked. This will reduce smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.

Do not leave the unit at high temperatures when not in use or during idle periods.

This will cause food particles and grease 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 counter balance shoulder rivets
and plastic spacers.

Check and clean rollers to make sure they are rolling and not sliding on the cam surfaces of
the counterbalance. Check the bolts, screws and nuts; tighten if necessary.
