bill at the time of delivery and have the carrier's agent sign the freight bill at that time. Concealed loss or
damage means loss or damage, which does not become apparent until the merchandise has been
unpacked. Make a written request for inspection upon unpacking and finding concealed damage within
15 days of delivery. Keep all packing material for inspection. Do not return damaged merchandise to
Star Manufacturing Company. File your claim with the carrier.

Initial Start Up
CAUTION ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
CAUTION
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF
SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID THE DANGER
OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
Once the griddle has been loaded properly, lower the hood over the product.
Elements must not touch product when clamshell is in the closed position.
NOTICE
During the first few hours of operation, you may notice a small amount of
smoke and a faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a new unit and
will disappear after the first few hours of use.
Each unit is preheated, tested and calibrated at the factory prior to shipment. However, due to
temperature and climate changes during shipment the unit can absorb moisture. Check griddle
for moisture and allow the unit to dry before placing the unit into full operation.
Prior to putting any unit into full time operation at normal cooking temperatures, it must be
thoroughly "seasoned" or dried out. Moisture absorption in the closed spaces, in the insulation
and even inside the heating elements can cause future trouble if not properly treated.
Allow the element in the unit to dry thoroughly prior to the initial use. To dry the unit, cycle the
unit on and place the hood into the down position. Allow the unit to saturate until all vapor and
condensation have been removed. For best operating results allow the unit to thoroughly dry out
for 8 to 12 hours.
Pre-heat the griddle for one hour, if the unit has been out of service for three days, especially
when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
