SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
(NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be
CAUTION
seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using, and after each thorough scouring, season the
griddle heating surface in the following manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F (174.9°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of cooking oil over the griddle cooking
surface. This film should remain on the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again
remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
COOKING (MODELS TF, TCHSF and TSPF ONLY)
Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature desired. After a short preheating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
GREASE PAN
A grease pan is located at the front and can be removed for cleaning from the front. This pan should
be checked and emptied when necessary.
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE PAN CONTAINING HOT
GREASE.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions
for cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess grease
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice
or griddle stone while the griddle is warm. DO NOT use steel wool because of the danger of
steel slivers getting into the food.
2. Daily-use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. 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, up and out.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean and
performing at top efficiency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize, becoming
difficult to remove. To prevent this condition the following cleaning suggestions should be followed.
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4" (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type scraper and
wipe surface with a damp cloth.
2. Following the scraping, 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 clean
wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from above section.
