SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The alcon E350/34 and E350/35 griddle tops are
members of the alcon 350 series of appliances.
All units comprising this series are of modular
dimensions. This enables suites of equipment to be
installed in a matching line.
These appliances are designed to be counter
mounted and may be installed on a table, counter
or similar surface. Alternatively it may be mounted on
the purpose made stand supplied by alcon.
The E350/34 model is 350mm wide and the E350/35
is 700mm wide. Both models are controlled by means
of graduated thermostats.
SECTION 2 - CONTROLS and OPERATION
The plates are fitted with control knobs marked from
1 to 6, There is ONE on the E350/34 and TWO on the
E350/35. Each knob controls the heat in the plate
immediately behind it.
A red neon lamp on the control panel indicates that
electricity is being supplied to the appliance i.e. the
isolating switch is ON and the plate is ready for use.
The amber neon illuminates when the elements are
being supplied with current. When the thermostat
opens, the light will extinguish indicating that the
temperature relative to that particular setting has
been reached.
Do not leave the griddle running on a high setting for
prolonged periods when the unit is not cooking. If it is
considered desirable to maintain the plate hot under
these conditions it is important to turn the control to a
low setting. This will effect economy of electricity and
prevent possible overheating of the plate.
SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS
Getting the best result from this type of appliance is
largely a matter of experience, coupled with the
needs of the particular task in hand. It is not
practicable to provide detailed instructions for
cooking any particular type of food, the temperature
of the plate must be regulated for different
circumstances.
or example, fried eggs need a low temperature,
whereas meat (i.e. steaks, chops, beefburgers, etc.)
require a much higher setting for successful results.
It must also be remembered that the food absorbs
heat from the plate. When the griddle is in continuous
use, cooking large quantities of food, it may be found
necessary to turn the control to a higher setting than
would be required for small batches.
Seasoning he Griddle
Wash the surface of your new griddle to remove
grease and rinse and dry thoroughly.
Brush the plate surface liberally with frying oil and
cover it with a layer of salt to a depth of at least
10mm.
Switch on the griddle to 3 and heat for 45 minutes.
Remove the salt without scratching the surface.
Wipe thoroughly with a dry J cloth.
SECTION 4 - CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
Surplus fat, etc. produced during the cooking process
is drained off into a removable receptacle located at
the base of the griddle. Take care not to allow this to
overflow and clean it out daily.
A broad metal scraper should be used to remove
heavy deposits from the surface of the plate. This
should be carried out regularly, not only during
cleaning sessions.
The splash guard which surrounds the plate may be
removed off for cleaning.
Do not use coarse abrasives for cleaning the exterior
panels, warm water and detergent solution is recom-
mended.
Warning
Do not clean this appliance with a jet of water, or
steam clean.
Do not use proprietary cleaners, especially those
which may have a high caustic content on the
vitreous enamelled surfaces of this unit. (i.e. facia
panel, drip tray, flue upstand and where applicable
the upper surfaces of doors). This is particularly
important when the appliance is hot. Such cleaners
may cause serious damage or discoloration to the
enamel finish. Only a soap or detergent solution
should be used.
