SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
(NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be
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. Usingacleancloth,notaspatula,spreadathinlmofcookingoiloverthegriddlecookingsurface.
Thislmshouldremainonthehotgriddlesurface1/2hour.
3. Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Applyanotherlmofcookingoiloverthehotcookingareaforanother1/2hourandagainremove
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."
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.
