OPERATION GRIDDLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SEASONING
 
The metal surface of the griddle has microscopic pores. It is important 
to fill the pores with oil to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface. 
 
1. Turn GRIDDLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL (G.01) clockwise to 
 
375ºF. Allow the griddle to heat until the GRIDDLE HEAT ON
INDICATOR
(G.02)
goes
OFF, showing that the griddle is up to the
set
temperature.
2. Spread a light film of oil over the entire griddle surface. 
3. Allow the oil film to "cook in" for 2 - 3 minutes, or until the oil 
 smokes. 
4. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean cloth to remove any standing 
 oil. 
5. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2 - 3 times, until the griddle 
 
has a slick, clean surface.
 
COOKING WITH YOUR GRIDDLE 
 
1. Turn the GRIDDLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL (G.01) to the 
 
desired cooking temperature. The solid-state thermostatic
controller
will
automatically
maintain set temperature.
2. The GRIDDLE HEAT ON INDICATOR(G.02) will be ON when the 
 
heating elements are energized.
COOKING WITH YOUR HOTPLATE 
 
1. Each element is individually controlled by a TEMPERATURE 
 
CONTROL (H.01 and H.03). These are infinite switch controls
which control based on time on vs time off, not the actual
temperature of the hotplate surface.
2. Settings
are
OFF to HIGH. Switch position is an indication of
temperature in that higher numbers indicate a higher temperature.
3. The associated indicator will be lit when the switch is in any 
 
position other than OFF.
4. When set to HIGH, the hotplate element can reach maximum 
 
temperature in seconds. This eliminates the need to pre-heat.
5. Once liquid begins to boil, reduce the setting to minimize power 
 
consumption and increase the useful life of the elements.
6. Use cooking pans which fully cover the elements for maximum 
 efficiency.
