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 30 minutes. The grill may emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surfaces reach 300-350°F (148-176°C). 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 (204°C). This will take approximately 30 minutes. Brush off any debris from the grilling surfaces. Allow grill to cool prior to placing it in its permanent

position.

SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES FIRST TIME SEASONING

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.

ON/OFF 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.

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 brass 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.

With the switch in this position, neither platen will heat.

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

DAILY OPERATION

Always allow 10-20 minutes of preheat time before loading the unit with product. Failure

to allow sufcient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory cooking of the 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 rocker switch to desired position.

Set the thermostat control knob to desired temperature.

OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY

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.

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.

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 releasing agents that has cooked itself to the surface. After a period of time, without carbon

cleaning this material may start aking off. When

that happens, follow the "Carbon Cleaning" procedures.

2. At

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

CAUTION

DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN WATER.

Use spatula to push excess grease into 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 lm to carbonize.

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

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