USING THE GRIDDLE To preheat, turn the burners on about 20-25 minutes before cooking. A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results. The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. 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

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once daily. Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss of cooking effici

ADJUSTMENTS LEVELING 1. Place a level on the griddle. 2. Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Using pliers or a crescent wrench, turn the feet counter-clockwise to increase height, and clockwise to decrease height until leveling is achieved. Do not extend the legs more than 1-¾”. CALIBRATION (AGT Models only) 1. Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the griddle. Using a suitable temperature measurement device (i.e. – Surface Probe), observe the temperature
