The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packing material and protective plastic from the surfaces of the unit. Before
leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor. Remove this
film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Heat the griddle
to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface by adding water or
a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial cleaner, following the manufacturer's
directions. Scrape the oil residue from the plate with a griddle scraper. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE

Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every
cleaning. This will also help reduce the sticking of cooked food product. Heat griddle to a
low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil – about one ounce
per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire
griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the
procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.
