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, clean and heat for approximately 30 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.

SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES
The cooking surfaces must be "seasoned" in order to reduce product sticking. To season, set
the dial to position 3. Spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-salted vegetable
oil (i.e PAM®). Repeat if required.
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).
SETTING THE TIMER
(TIMER MODELS ONLY) - (9 MIN. 59 SEC. MAX)
The timer may be factory pre-set. If changes are required follow these simple steps:
1. To increase time, press and hold the (UP) button. The Start/Stop button can now be
used to increase the cooking time.
2. To decrease time, press and hold (DOWN) button. The Start/Stop button can now be
used to decrease cooking time.
ON/OFF LIGHTED ROCKER SWITCH (TIMER MODELS 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.
With the switch in this position only the bottom platen will heat.
DAILY OPERATION
Always allow 10-20 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.
Check the power cord to insure that it is plugged into a proper outlet. Check that the switch and
thermostat control are turned on.
Set the unit's ON/OFF switch to the desired position. Set the thermostat control knob to desired
temperature.
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 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 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 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.
