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 fi lm 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 (NON CHROME SURFACES)
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 effi 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 fl 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.
