1 inches from sides
4 inches from back
1 inches from floor
The installation of any components such as a vent hood, grease extractors and/or fire
extinguisher systems must conform to applicable nationally recognized installation

Rev. - 2006 10
INITIAL START UP
Initial Start Up
Before starting the grill for the first time, clean the grill body and cooking surfaces
with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with clear water and dry.
Close the upper cooking surface and set the temperature to 200°F (93°C) for two
hours to evaporate any moisture that may be in the elements and grill castings.
After two hours, set the temperature to 350°F (177°C) for 1/2 hour.
Seasoning the Cooking Surfaces
The cooking surfaces must be "seasoned" in order to eliminate product sticking.
To season, set the temperature to 275°F (135°C).
Once at temperature (the Ready light will turn on and a buzzer will sound), spray the
upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-salted vegetable oil such as Pam®.
Allow the grill to stand at temperature until the cooking surfaces look dry, then
spray them again.
Set the temperature to 425°F (218°C) and wait until the Ready light turns on, then
repeat the procedure.
NOTICE: During the first few hours of operation you may still
notice a small amount of smoke coming off the griddle,
and a faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a
new griddle and will disappear after the first few hours of
use.
Product Sticking Hint
The seasoning process is intended to eliminate product sticking. Given the nature
and diversity of different products grilled on the Pane Bella some sticking may
infrequently occur. The utilization of a spatula will enable the operator to gently
release or “pop” any product that may stick to upper or lower platens.
