CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or 
dented by carelessly using a spatula. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate 
surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner 
or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
CLEANING
NEVER clean any electrical unit by immersing it in water. Turn unit off and allow it to cool down before 
surface cleaning. Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use. Clean unit daily. Except where noted 
on charts: use warm, soap water. Mild cleansers and PLASTIC scouring pads may be used to remove 
baked on food and water scale on metal units. Unplug electrical units before cleaning or servicing. All 
service should be performed by an American Wyott authorized service agency.
Empty the grease drawer daily. Clean the unit regularly. A clean unit looks better, lasts longer and performs 
better.
KEEP GRIDDLE PLATE SURFACE CLEAN. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle 
products, keep the griddle free of carbonized grease.
Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to food. This results 
in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency and, worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the 
griddled foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance. To keep the griddle clean 
and operating at peak efficiency, follow these simple instructions.
AFTER EACH USE, clean the griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.
ONCE A DAY, thoroughly clean splash back, sides and front. Remove the grease drawer and chute, empty 
and wash them out in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.
ONCE A WEEK, clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, wire brush or steel 
wool on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used 
on the plate surface to help clean it, but care must be taken to be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed. 
After removal of the detergent, the surface of the plate should then be covered with a thin film of oil to 
prevent rusting. Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth. To remove 
discoloration, use a nonabrasive cleaner. After each "weekly" type of cleaning, the griddle must be 
reseasoned. If the griddle usage is very high, consider going through the "weekly" cleaning procedures 
more often than once a week.
FACTORY OFFSET - APW GRIDDLE CONTROL
The control will come with the following offsets 
built in. The control will interpolate the offset for 
values between those shown in the adjacent chart.
The individual controls operate each 12" wide cooking zone and the signal lights indicate power is being 
applied to the heaters. When the light is out, with the dial set on a temperature setting, the griddle plate has 
reached the desired temperature. The lights will intermittently come on during cooking cycles to indicate 
temperature is being maintained.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
A PCB located potentiometer allows a manual
