WARNING

CONNECT/PLUG UNIT INTO DEDICATED A.C. LINE ONLY SPECIFIED ON THE
DATA 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 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, 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 sufcient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory cooking of the 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 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.

Abobe: Oiling the Hinge,

Below: Tightening the top housing

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.

CAUTION

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 ef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).

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

CLEANING TOOLS

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
