General Operation

COOKING WITH A PLATED GRIDDLE
CAUTION: CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES ARE DELICATE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.
DO NOT hit, chop, hack, or cut on the griddle plate. DO NOT use a griddle stone, brick, or screen. Damage caused by these utensils is irreparable.
Your new Adexa plated griddle has excellent heat retention and heat transfer as well as minimal flavor transfer.Adexa has created a griddle that offers a reduction in energy costs and clean up time, translating into a great deal of profit savings.
Since the chrome plated griddle has such a high level of heat retention, it acts as a heat shield that does not allow as much upward radiation,creating a cooler work environment. The significant amount of heat retained on the chrome griddle also allows for a rapid heat transfer, which produces faster cook times at lower temperatures.
Unlike steel plate griddles, the chrome plate on the griddle prevents food particles from getting trapped on the cooking surface, thus preventing flavor transfer. In other words, your pancakes for breakfast will not taste like last night’s salmon.
The finish on chrome-plated griddles is delicate and must be handled with care. Be sure to follow suggested guidelines for care and maintenance to prevent voiding the warranty.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE
NOTE: Seasoning is not required for chrome plated griddles, but the below procedure may be done to improve the non-stick qualities of the cooking surface.

• Clean the griddle surface thoroughly.
• After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned to prevent food from sticking.
• Before using and after each thorough scouring, season the griddle heating surface in the following manner.

1. Turn temperature control dials to (150°C), and pour on a small amount of cooking oil or shortening, about 1 oz. (30cc) per square foot of surface.
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula,spread a thin film of cooking oil or shortening over the griddle cooking surface. This film should remain on the hot griddle surface for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Repeat this procedure twice more. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.

AFTER EACH USE

1. Scrape the griddle with the appropriate scraper or flexible spatula to remove the excess grease and food.
2. Scrape drippings into the grease tray and dump.

DAILY CLEANING

1. Clean plate while still hot between 300-350°F.
2. Scrape griddle plate with blade scraper ONLY.
3. Pour room temperature water (or for heavy duty cleaning, Noble Chemical Griddle Kleen cleanser (#147GKCHROME) on the surface and immediately scrub the griddle with a natural non-scratching stiff bristle brush. Repeat as needed.
4. Sweep the water or cleanser into the trough drain at the front of the griddle. Wipe off and polish the surface with a clean lint free cloth and polish solution suitable for chrome griddles (Noble Chemical Griddle Kleen Polish Powder (#147GKPOWDER).
5. Rinse with room temperature water to remove any excess polish.
6. Prior to cleaning the body of the unit, always be sure to turn off the griddle and allow it to cool completely before attempting to clean.Thoroughly clean the backsplash, sides, and front of the griddle with a non-abrasive sponge and cleaning solution.
7. Remove the grease tray, empty it, and thoroughly clean.
8. Apply a light coat of cooking shortening to prevent rust on the griddle plate.
