SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
Prior to seasoning the griddle , remove protective coating from the griddle surface using a mild
detergent and water. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been cleaned, it
should be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using and after each thorough scour-
ing , season the griddle heating surface in the following procedure.
1. Turn temperature control dials to 325 F (162c)
2. Using a clean cloth , spread a thin film of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface. This
film should remain on the griddle surface for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another half and hour and
again remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready to use.
Even with careful seasoning, food may to some extent , stick to the griddle cooking surface un-
til the griddle is broken in.

03
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF” switchs and thermostats. Turning the dial
knob automatically maintains the selected heat range.
The Fleetwood by Skymsen griddles have multiple controls which can be operated at different
ranges.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature desired, After a short pre-heating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods , save on operating cost by lowering temperature setting of thermostat to
About 200—250 F. The griddle will quickly return to cooking temperature once thermostat are
adjusted upward.
SIGNAL LITES
Each thermostat has its own signal lite which indicates when the unit ‘s control knob is not in
the off position.
GRIDDLE CARE
Technical Specification
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 sug-
gestions 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 re seasoned. Use pumice or a
griddle stone while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel
slivers getting into food.
