Wells WVOC-G136 - Manual (Page 16)

OPERATION (continued)
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces
can be hot to the touch
and may cause burns.
As manufactured, the steel
surface of your Wells griddle
has microscopic pores. It is
important to fill these pores
with oil in order to provide a
hard, non-stick cooking
surface.
Because the microscopic
pores in the griddle surface
are filled by the chrome
plating, no seasoning of the
griddle surface is required.
IMPORTANT: SCRATCHES
WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE OF CHROME
GRIDDLES!
DO NOT use anything on this
griddle that could scratch the
surface.
DO NOT clean chrome
surface with griddle bricks,
pumice stone or abrasive
cleansers.
DO NOT bang or tap pots,
pans, spatulas or other metal
utensils on chromed griddle
surface as this may damage
the chrome plating.
NOTE: Separate sections of
the griddle may be set to
different temperatures.
This will allow a variety of
products to be prepared at
the same time, and will allow
prepared product to be held
at serving temperature after
cooking.
GRIDDLE OPERATION
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
1. SEASONING
STANDARD GRIDDLES
a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
c. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until
it smokes.
d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is
removed.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the
griddle has a slick, clean surface.
2. CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
a. Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth
and a small amount of mild detergent.
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
c. The griddle is now ready to use.
USING THE GRIDDLE
1. Check the chart below for recommended cooking temperatures.
Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.
The indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When
the indicator light first goes out, the griddle is ready to use.
2. For standard griddles, keep the griddle surface clean and well
oiled during use. Scrape cooking waste into the grease trough
frequently during use. Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of
cooking oil on the griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick
surface.
3. For chrome plated griddles, scrape cooking waste into the grease
trough after preparing each order.
