Cadco GLASS-CERAMIC FRY TOP GRIDDLE FTCG-200 - Manual (Page 3)

6. Fast Heat-up - The Griddle preheats very quickly. These Griddles use both direct and infrared heat to quickly cook your
foods to perfection. It is not necessary to leave your Griddle on throughout the service period. To preheat the Griddle,
simply set the desired cooking temperature. You will notice the power light illuminates, indicating that power is going to
the Griddle. Your Griddle will be preheated and ready to start cooking in about 2 or 3 minutes. When the power light is
no longer illuminated, the Griddle is ready to use.
7. Use only a stainless steel spatula with rounded corners for positioning and removing food from the grilling surface, to
avoid scratches on the glass-ceramic surface.
8. This Glass-Ceramic Griddle is designed to allow the operator to place frozen foods directly on the heated griddle surface
without causing damage.
9. You have a one year parts and labor warranty on your new Griddle; keep it valid. Your Griddle was designed to prepare
food; don’t abuse it by using it for any other purpose.

If Trouble Occurs

qualified electrician perform any necessary repairs before using the Griddle again. If there are any cracks in the ceramic
glass top do not use the Griddle.
Cleaning Instructions
Cooking Residues
1. It only takes a few seconds to keep your Griddle clean while you are grilling. Simply wipe the grilling surfaces with a clean
paper towel “between sandwiches.” (Be sure to use a hot mitt or potholder!)
2. During operation, the Griddle may be also be “Quick Cleaned” with the scraper* provided with the unit. The scraped
residue may be pushed into the metal drip tray under the griddle surface through the opening in the Drip Channel at the
front of the Griddle. Be sure to empty the drip tray regularly to avoid spills. For safety, let the unit cool before
attempting to empty drip tray.
3. *To avoid damaging the glass-ceramic cooking surface when cleaning, always use a scraper with rounded blade edges,
and be sure the blade is in contact with the grilling surface along the entire length of the blade. Do not use the corner
of the scraper because this causes scoring on the grilling surface, irreparably compromising functionality and cleanability.
Replace the scraper blade when it is no longer very sharp.
For more thorough cleaning
1. Turn the unit “OFF” with the Power Switch and unplug the unit from power source before proceeding.
2. For hard to clean spots use the scraper* (see 3. above).
3. There are many nonabrasive cleaners specifically made for ceramic cooking tops on the market today. We suggest using
your choice of nonabrasive cleaner at the end of each day or service period to keep your Griddlel in top condition.
4. Never use a spray of water or immerse the Griddle in water. This will damage the electrical components and might
create a hazardous condition. It will also void your warranty.
