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. 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 (NON CHROME SURFACES)
FIRST TIME SEASONING

Follow your company/corporate guidelines for seasoning cooking surfaces. or

1. Bring the grill to 300°F and leave it on while doing the next three steps.

2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a salt free liquid vegitable oil. 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 a salt free liquid
vegitable oil in the morning and occasionally throughout the day will be enough to prevent any sticking. It is not
necessary to apply before grilling each item.

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).
See Knob Settings.

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 the (DOWN) button.

The Start/Stop button can now be used to decrease cooking time.

When the timer reaches "00:00" the alarm will sound three times.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

CLEANING (NON CHROME SURFACES)

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
a combination of: releasing agents, oils, food particles etc. that has cooked itself to the surface.

After a period of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and 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.

CARBON CLEANING

When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent according to the instructions provided with
the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season the grill according to your company/
corporate guidelines, or the seasoning instructions in this manual.

DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN WATER.

CAUTION

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

KEEP AWAY FROM RUNNING WATER.
DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE CARBON BUILD-UP.
BEFORE CLEANING MAKE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF, UNIT IS UNPLUGGED AND IS

NOT TOO HOT.

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.

DO NOT SPLASH FRONT CONTROL PANEL!
DO NOT SPLASH FLEX CONDUIT CONNECTING TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE UNIT.

Remove and empty to clean grease catcher drawer as required using mild detergent and water.

WARNING

Do not use ice or cold water to clean the cooking surfaces when the unit is hot.
The surfaces are cast aluminum or cast iron and may crack or deform under the shock of rapid
temperature change.

CLEANING (CHROME SURFACES)

It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean and

performing at top efciency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize and become

difcult to remove. To prevent this condition the following cleaning suggestions should be followed:

1. Remove excess grease and food regularly with a 4” (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type scraper with
rounded corners and wipe surface with a damp cloth if desired.

2.

Following the scraping, for end of the day cleaning, a damp cloth and a non-silicated, non-abrasive,

non-chlorinated cleaner such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean, followed by wiping
with a clean wet cloth.

3.

Use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the (NON COOKING SURFACES)

stainless steel body of the griddle. Wipe the control panel front with a soft cloth.

4.

At least once a day, remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking

utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward and out.
