OPERATION
Level unit using the adjustable feet under the unit (approximately 1/2" adjustment).

emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surfaces reach 300-350°F (148-176°C). Do not be
alarmed, as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing process and will stop
when the grill reaches 400°F (204°C).
SEASONING THE COOKING SURFACES (NON CHROME SURFACES)
FIRST TIME SEASONING
Follow your company/corporate guidelines for seasoning cooking surfaces. or
1. Bring the grill to 300°F (148°C) and leave it on while doing the next three steps.
2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a salt free liquid vegitable oil. If using an aerosol agent, rst
apply into a cup and then brush onto cooking surface.
3. Let sit for 20 minutes, and then wipe clean using a warm damp cloth.
DAILY SEASONING
The grill should not require much seasoning while in use. In most cases, brush a light coating of
a salt free liquid vegitable oil in the morning and occasionally throughout the day will be enough
to prevent any sticking. It is not necessary to apply before grilling each item.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The thermostat control knob is used to set the temperature to your requirements.
The maximum set point is 550°F (288°C), the minimum set point is 175°F (79°C).

CLEANING
CLEANING
Begin cleaning procedure by using the operating procedures within your organization, or follow
the steps below:
1. If particles adhere to the cooking surface during the day, scrape them off with a spatula.
NOTE: It is best not to let food cook onto the grill, as food build-up on the grill will increase
sticking and smoking. In addition, carbon may build up on the grill surface and reduce the
cooking efciency.
CARBON BUILDUP: A black matter that forms on or near the cooking surface. Generally
this is a combination of: releasing agents, oils, food particles etc. that has cooked itself to the
surface. After a period of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and material may
start aking off. When that happens, follow the "Carbon Cleaning" procedures.
2. At the end of the day, wipe down all surfaces with a warm, damp cloth and mild detergent,
then dry.
CARBON CLEANING
When carbon build up occurs, use a carbon removal agent according to the instructions provided
with the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season the grill according to your
company/corporate guidelines, or the seasoning instructions in this manual.
DO NOT IMMERSE OR LET THE UNIT STAND IN WATER.
DO NOT HOSE DOWN THE UNIT OR THE TABLE/COUNTER IF THE UNIT IS ON THE
TABLE/COUNTER.
