The electric stainless steel griddle is manufactu-
red from 3/16 inches stainless steel designed for
maximum heat retention. Use extreme caution
when operating the griddle to avoid burn hazard!
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE
• Check the griddle plate adjustment by pouring
two tablespoons of water on the back of the
griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into
the grease tray.
• To adjust move the griddle plate to the side .
• Adjust the two screws under the back of the
plate. Start with one half turn counterclockwise
of the screws. Further adjustment should be
made by one-quarter turn until water slowly
fl ows into the grease tray.
Remove the cover ‘C’ before using the griddle.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
The stainless steel griddle must be seasoned be-
fore using it for the
fi rst time. We also recommend
re-seasoning after a long time of non use.
• Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot water
and soap solution to remove any protective
coating.
• Rinse with a mixture ¼ gal of water and 1 cup
white vinegar and dry thoroughly.
• Pour 1 tsp vegetable oil into the centre of the
griddle. Rub the oil over the entire surface of
the griddle using a heavy cloth.
• Turn the control knob to a maximum setting.
• Turn the heat o
ff when the oil begins to smoke.
Allow the griddle to cool.
• Repeat step 3 covering the entire surface with
the oil. Turn o ff the heat and allow the griddle
to cool.
• Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a
heavy cloth.
• Apply a very thin layer of vegetable oil. The
griddle is now ready for use, too much oil can
damage the griddle
