Warning - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
SECTION 2 -
CONTROLS and OPERATION
This unit must be installed by a suitably qualified person.
Amains input connecting cable is not supplied.Asuitable cable should be provided by the installer.
The appliance control knob is marked from 1 to 5 to control plate heat (see Figure 1).
A red neon located on the control panel indicates that electricity is being supplied, i.e. the isolating switch is ON
and plate is ready for use.
The amber neon lights when the element is being supplied with current. When thermostat operates, the amber
neon will go out to indicate that temperature setting has been reached.
Do not leave griddle running on a high setting for prolonged periods when not cooking. If it is considered desirable
to maintain plate heat under these conditions, it is important to turn down control to a low setting.
This will save energy and prevent possible overheating of plate.

SECTION 3 - CHEF’S TIPS
Getting the best result from the griddle plate is largely a matter of experience, coupled with any particular task.
It is not practicable to provide detailed instructions for cooking any particular type of food, plate temperature
must be regulated for different circumstances.
For example, fried eggs require a lower temperature setting. Meat (i.e. steaks, chops, beefburgers, etc.)
require a much higher setting for successful results.
The food absorbs heat from the plate, when the griddle is in continuous use and cooking large quantities of food, it
may be necessary to turn the control to a higher setting than is be required for smaller batches.
Seasoning the Griddle
Wash griddle surface to remove grease. Rinse and dry thoroughly before use.
Brush plate surface liberally with frying oil and cover it with a layer of salt to a depth of at least 10mm.
Set control to 3 and heat for 45 minutes.

Remove salt without scratching plate surface and wipe down thoroughly with a dry cloth.
