SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
(NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be
seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using, and after each thorough scouring, season the
griddle heating surface in the following manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F (174.9°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin lm of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface.
This lm should remain on the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another lm of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again remove
excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
COOKING (MODELS TD, TCHSD and TSPD ONLY)
Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature desired. After a short preheating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
GREASE PAN
A grease pan is located at the front and can be removed for cleaning from the front. This pan should
be checked and emptied when necessary.
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE PAN CONTAINING HOT
GREASE.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efciency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difcult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions
for cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or exible spatula to remove excess grease and
food.Awastedrawerisprovidedforthe scrapings. If thereisanaccumulationofburned on grease
and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone
while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers getting into
the food.
2. Daily-use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking
utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward, up and out.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean and
performing at top efciency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize, becoming
difcult to remove. To prevent this condition the following cleaning suggestions should be followed.
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4" (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type scraper and wipe
surface with a damp cloth.
2. Following the scraping, a damp cloth and a non-silicated, non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner
such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean, followed by wiping with clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from above section.

EXCLUSIONS DE LA GARANTIE LIMITÉE SUR LE GRIL CHROME-MAX™
Votre gril Chrome-Max™ a été conçu de manière à vous donner de nombreuses années de cuisson
able et il ne nécessite qu’un entretien minimum pour maintenir la surface chromée dans son état
d’origine. Tous les grils Chrome-Max™ sont garantis pendant une période de cinq ans contre les vices
de fabrication au propriétaire initial, depuis la date d’installation. Cette garantie limitée est nulle si Star
Manufacturing International Incorporated ou l’un de ses représentants autorisés détermine que la
surface chromée a été utilisée de manière erronée, a fait l’objet d’un usage abusif ou a été sujette aux
situations suivantes:
1. Installation inappropriée.
2. Ajustements de dérivation non effectués adéquatement sur les appareils à gaz, ce qui a pour
conséquences une surchauffe de l’appareil et une décoloration de la surface chromée. (Voir
ajustement de dérivation dans le manuel d’instructions fourni avec l’appareil.)
3. Utilisation erronée de tout instrument ou outil qui raye ou entaille la surface, ce qui pourrait causer
un détachement ou éclatement de la surface.
4. Utilisation de tout produit chimique ou solution nettoyante abrasive, brique de gril, pierre, tamis
ou autres produits nettoyants qui pourraient abîmer et compromettre les prestations de la surface
chromée.
5. Négligence dans l’entretien régulier journalier sur la surface en chrome.

ENTRETIEN DU GRIL (SURFACES NON CHROMÉES)
Il faut très peu de temps et d’efforts pour garder le gril attrayant et maintenir des prestations optimales.
Si on la laisse s’accumuler, la graisse forme une agglutination gommeuse pour ensuite se carboniser
en une substance dure qui est extrêmement difcile à enlever. Pour prévenir cette situation, les
mesures suivantes de propreté devraient être suivies:
1. Après chaque usage, racler le gril à l’aide d’une raclette ou d’une spatule exible pour enlever
l’excédent de graisse et d’aliments. Un récipient à déchets est prévu pour les raclures. Si le gras
et les aliments deviennent excessivement calcinés, le gril doit être récuré soigneusement, puis
reconditionné. Utiliser une pierre ponce ou une pierre à gril pendant que le gril est chaud. Ne pas
utiliser de laine d’acier en raison du risque que des éclats d’acier pénètrent dans les aliments.
2. Tous les jours - utiliser un chiffon propre et un bon nettoyant non abrasif pour nettoyer le corps en
acier inoxydable du gril. Essuyer le devant poli à l’aide d’un chiffon doux.
3. Au moins une fois par jour, retirer le tiroir à déchets et laver de la même façon qu’un ustensile de
cuisson ordinaire. Le tiroir s’enlève en tirant vers l’avant, le haut et l’extérieur.
ENTRETIEN DU GRIL (SURFACES CHROMÉES)
Il faut très peu de temps et d’efforts pour garder la surface de ce gril en chrome industriel étincelante
et maintenir ses prestations optimales. NE PAS laisser la graisse s’accumuler car elle deviendra
carbonisée et difcile à enlever. Pour prévenir cette situation, les mesures de nettoyage
suivantes devraient être suivies:
1. Enlever l’excédent d’huile et d’aliments régulièrement avec une raclette de type lame à rasoir
de 100 mm (4 po) de large, et essuyer la surface à l’aide d’un chiffon humide, si désiré.
2. Suite au raclage, pour le nettoyage de la n de la journée, on peut utiliser un chiffon humide et un
nettoyant non chloré, non abrasif et non silicatisé, tel que le Bon Ami, pour nettoyer la surface. Il
suft ensuite d’essuyer avec un chiffon propre humide.
3. Suivre les étapes 2 et 3 de la section Entretien du gril (surfaces non chromées).
MISE EN GARDE
1. Ne jamais utiliser de pierre ponce, de pierres à gril ou d’abrasifs sur la surface.
2. Ne jamais frapper la surface du gril avec un instrument aflé ou un bord de spatule.
3. Ne jamais utiliser de laine d’acier.
4. Ne jamais utiliser de nettoyant liquide commercial sur la surface du gril.
5. Une utilisation abusive de la surface annule la garantie.

durant la nuit, tournez les valves à la position de "OFF."
CONDITIONNEMENT DE LASURFACE CHAUFFANTE DU GRIL (SURFACES NON
CHROMÉES)
Nettoyer soigneusement la surface du gril. Une fois bien nettoyé, le gril devrait être conditionné pour
empêcher les aliments de coller. Avant usage et après chaque nettoyage en profondeur, conditionner
la surface chauffante du gril de la manière suivante:
1. Tourner le cadran de contrôle de température à 174.9oC (350oF).
2. À l’aide d’un chiffon propre, et non d’une spatule, étendre une pellicule mince d’huile de cuisson ou
de matière grasse sur la surface de cuisson du gril. Cette pellicule doit demeurer une demi-heure
sur la surface chaude du gril.
3. Enlever l’excédent de graisse et essuyer.
4. Appliquer une autre pellicule d’huile de cuisson sur la surface de cuisson chaude pendant une
autre demi-heure, puis retirer à nouveau l’excédent de graisse et essuyer. La surface du gril devrait
maintenant être prête à usage.
Même avec un conditionnement soigné, les aliments peuvent, dans une certaine mesure, adhérer à la
surface de cuisson jusqu’à ce que la plaque du gril soit "rodée".
CUISSON (MODÈLES TD, TCHSD et TSPD SEULEMENT)
Mettre le bouton du cadran du thermostat à la température désirée. Après une brève période de
préchauffage, le thermostat maintient automatiquement la température choisie.
