individually controllable to allow preparation of different
products, or to allow the griddle to be used for both product
preparation and temporary holding of prepared product.

The dial position is an indication of the temperature
setting. Actual griddle surface temperature will vary,
depending upon type and initial temperature of product ,

and other variables.
