HIGH).
When roasting, the nest results are obtained by using balanced heat with both the Upper and Lower
element switches on HIGH. A measured top heat provides excellent coloring and a caramelized finish
to the meats, but where a seared or browned appearance is not desired, as in roasting fowl, the upper
oven element switch should be set on MEDIUM, LOW or OFF.
5. Place pans containing food products into oven. For baking and roasting, pans should be placed on the
intermediate rack. When roasting and baking pans are on both the deck and the rack the pans should
be rotated halfway through the cooking cycle.
When placing pans in oven do not block air flow on sides or in back of oven cavity. Blocking the air
flow can cause uneven cooking.
Opening the oven door too often will also cause uneven cooking. Keep oven door closed except for
necessary checking of food products.
6. Set timer for desired cook time. Refer to the Time and Temperature charts on the following pages for
suggested cook times and temperatures.
7. Flue vent damper should be opened when cooking high moisture content foods. Pull the flue vent
handle to open the vent damper.

C. Griddle Operation
IMPORTANT: Do not turn griddle on before seasoning procedure has been completed.
IMPORTANT: If your griddle is new you must remove the rust preventative material before turning the
griddle on. Refer to Section 2, Installation, Paragraph E.
1. Griddle Seasoning Procedure.
a. Preheat the griddle to 300°F(149°C) and spread a light film of unsalted cooking oil or fat over the
surface with a soft cloth.
b. Allow griddle to stand this way for two minutes to give the oil an opportunity to work into the pores of
the metal and to form a smooth coating over the outside.
c. Wipe off excess oil and repeat Steps 1 and 2 at 350°F(175°C).
d. After the second step is complete wipe off excess cooking oil, set thermostat control knob for desired
temperature. The griddle is now ready for use.
2. Operating Hints and Safety
Although the finest materials, engineering and manufacturing facilities have provided for safety and
trouble -free operation, only proper use and maintenance will assure personnel safety and long life of the
equipment. The following are a few precautions and operating suggestions for use of the griddle.
a. Disconnect power to the griddle at the disconnect switch at the end of each day of operation.
b. Do not leave the griddle in operation without an attendant.
c. Turn thermostat dials down to 200°F(93°C) during idle periods. It takes only a few minutes to regain
operating temperatures.
d. Do not heat the entire griddle for cooking small amounts of food.
e. Various kinds of foods can be cooked at the same time by setting each section of the griddle at
different temperatures.
f. Use a spatula to push excess grease into troughs after each load of food is cooked. This will reduce
smoking of hot grease and carbonizing.
g. Do not leave griddle at high temperature when not in use or during idle periods. This will cause food
particles and grease film to carbonize.
3. Daily Griddle Operation and Maintenance.
Daily Pre-Operation
a. Season the griddle before operation daily, as described in Step 1 above.
b. Turn the temperature controls to the desired temperature and allow 15 minutes or preheat time
before loading griddle with food. Green signal light will remain on while heating elements are
energized and griddle is coming up to set temperature. This will allow time for the griddle surface to
be saturated with heat. Failure to allow sufficient preheat time will result in unsatisfactory cooking of
the first load. The following chart indicates cooking time and temperature for various type of food.

Section 3 - OPERATION
Daily Post Operations:
a. Cleaning the Griddle Surface
AA. Good cooking requires clean equipment. To provide evenly cooked and perfectly
browned foods, keep the griddle surface free fo carbonized grease. Carbonized grease
on the griddle surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food.
This also results un spotty browning, decreased cooking efficiency, and worst of all,
carbonized brease tends to cling to the griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizinf appearance.
BB. At the end of each day of operation or at the end of each shirt, thoroughly clean the front
and rear grease troughs and the chutes into grease drawers.
CC. Clean the griddle surface woth a pumice or griddle stone by rubbing with the grain of the
metal while the griddle surface is still warm. Wipe griddle clean of residue from the
griddle stone.

grease.
AA. Clean all surrounding surfaces of the griddle with warm water and a mild detergent daily.

emptied at the end of ech day of operation or the end of each shift. Also wash out grease drawers
with hot water and a mild detergent. Wipe dry and replace in range. NOTE: Marine ranges are
