ON/OFF ROCKER SWITCH
(TIMER MODELS ONLY)
The switch turns the unit on and off. The switch
has three positions:
With the switch in this position,
both top and bottom platens
will heat.
With the switch in this position,
neither platen will heat.
With the switch in this position
only bottom platen will heat.
DAILY OPERATION
Always allow 10-20 minutes of preheat time
before loading the unit with product. Failure
to allow sufficient preheat time will result in
unsatisfactory cooking of the first load.
Check the power cord to insure that it is plugged
into a proper outlet.
Check that the switch and thermostat control are
turned on.
Set the unit's ON/OFF rocker switch to desired
position.
Set the thermostat control knob to desired
temperature.
OPERATING HINTS AND SAFETY
Disconnect power to the unit with the switch at
the end of each day of operation.
Do not leave the unit in operation without an
attendant.
Turn thermostat down to 200°F (93°C) during idle
periods. It will take only a few minutes to regain
operating temperature.
Use spatula to push excess grease into grease
drawer after each load of food is cooked.
This will reduce smoking of hot grease and
carbonizing.
Do not leave the unit at high temperature when
not in use or during idle periods. This will cause
food particles and grease film to carbonize.
"Season" cooking surfaces with non-salted
vegetable oil to reduce product sticking.
MONTHLY LUBRICATION/INSPECTION
Apply two (2) drops of non-toxic mineral or
vegetable oil to counter balance shoulder rivets
and plastic spacers.
Check and clean brass rollers to make sure they
are rolling and not sliding on the cam surfaces of
the counterbalance.
Check the bolts, screws and nuts, tighten if
necessary.
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 efficiency.
CARBON BUILDUP: A black matter that forms on
or near the cooking surface. Generally this is
releasing agents that has cooked itself to the
surface. After a period of time, without carbon
cleaning this material may start flaking 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.
CAUTION
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.
