Hood Stop

Place the Hood Down Stop onto the two studs, with half moon crescent in the up position, using the center two holes.

Screw the 1/4-20 Wing nuts onto the studs until tight.

Repeat above two steps for other side.

TEMPLATE

This template is given in the event that the customer would like to install a timer onto the front of the Pane Bella Grill.

1. Cut the above template out from this document or make a copy and cut the template out of the copy.
2. Place the template, so that the TOP is at the top of the label and that the template is resting between the top and bottom metal trim pieces and between the existing timers.
3. Holes 1-4 will now line up with pre- existing holes in the sheet metal behind the Panel label.
4. Using a screw place the appropriate holes in the label that you will need to fasten the timer to the Pane Bella Grill.

INITIAL START UP

Initial Start Up

Before starting the grill for the first time, clean the grill body and cooking surfaces with a mild soap and water solution then rinse with clear water and dry.

Close the upper cooking surface and turn the temperature dial to position number 1 for 2 hours to evaporate any moisture that may be in the elements and grill castings.

After 2 hours, turn the temperature dial to position 4 for 1/2 hour.

The grill may emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surfaces passes the 300 degree point. Do not be alarmed, as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing process, and will stop when the grill reaches 350 degrees.

Seasoning the Cooking Surfaces

The cooking surfaces must be “seasoned” in order to eliminate product sticking.

To season, set the dial to position 2. Once at temperature (the indicator lamp will go Off), spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-salted vegetable oil such as Pam®.

Allow the grill to stand at temperature until the cooking surfaces look dry then spray them again. Turn the temperature dial to position number 4 and wait until the indicator lamp goes out then repeat the procedure.

NOTICE: During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a new oven and will disappear after the first few hours of use.

Product Sticking Hint

The seasoning process is intended to eliminate product sticking. Given the nature and diversity of different products grilled on the Pane Bella some sticking may infrequently occur. The utilization of a spatula will enable the operator to gently release or “pop” any product that may stick to upper or lower platens.

OPERATION

Setting the Temperature

CAUTION: ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.

CAUTION: KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.

The grill is divided into a left and right cooking section with upper and lower cooking surfaces.

A single thermostat controls each section’s upper and lower cooking surface.

The temperature range of each thermostat is approximately 100 to 650 degrees Fahrenheit, Number 1 on the dial equals approximately 200 degrees, 7 equals approximately 650 degrees.

To set the temperature, turn the thermostat dial until the line on the knob is pointing at the desired number.

Close the upper cooking surface during preheat and idle periods.

An indicator lamp next to the thermostat dial will glow until the cooking surfaces reach the set temperature. Once at the set temperature, the indicator lamp will go Off.

Conservation Hint:

Close the upper cooking surfaces during preheat and idle times. The grill will require far less energy to remain at temperature.

Setting the Timers

Each cooking section has a 15-minute timer.

To set the timer, turn the timer dial past 10 then back until the line on the knob is pointing at the desired time.

The timer will sound a single ring when the timer has counted down to zero.
The timer does not control the cooking section.

Loading the Grill

Open the upper cooking surface by raising the handle to the full up position.

Place the product in the center of the lower cooking section.

Grasp the handle of the upper cooking surface and gently lower it onto the product.

Set the timers for the desired cooking time.

When the bell sounds, raise the upper cooking surface and remove the product.

Clean the upper and lower cooking surfaces, with the Pane Bella cleaning tool, between each load.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Cleaning

WARNING: KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF CONTROLS. NEVER SPRAY OR HOSE CONTROL CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC.

CAUTION: MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ THE WARNING AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE CLEANER TO BE USED.

WARNING: ALWAYS HOLD THE UPPER GRILL OPEN WHILE CLEANING TO PREVENT INJURY IN CASE OF GRILL CLOSING.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ICE OR WATER TO CLEAN THE COOKING SURFACE WHILE THE GRIDDLE IS HOT. THE GRILL IS MADE OF CAST IRON AND MAY CRACK FROM A RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGE.

CAUTION: GRILL CALIBRATION REQUIRES DISASSEMBLY OF THE THERMSOTAT AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. IT IS GENERALLY MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE A THEROSTAT THAT IS OUT OF CALIBRATION.

The grill is supplied with a Pane Bella grill cleaning tool. Clean the upper and lower cooking surfaces, with the tool, between each load.

Lang Manufacturing has designed the Pane Bella to be easy to clean and maintain. We advise a daily cleaning schedule and the following tips to keep your grill looking like new.

After the “seasoning process” use any vegetable non-stick spray sparingly, maybe not ever. Vegetable oil sprayed on the grill surface continually throughout the day will form a carbon build-up and will require more frequent cleaning. Any food material or sandwich that may stick when grilling can be scraped off with a spatula or the cleaning tool provided.

It is necessary to include a daily maintenance schedule of 10 minutes each day to clean the grill. This will eliminate the need to spend hours cleaning any carbon build-up on the cast iron plates and yellowing of the stainless steel from days or weeks of use without cleaning.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CLEANING:

• Empty the crumb tray regularly. It is removable and located at the front edge of the grill. Occasionally, hand wash with mild soapy water, rinse, dry and return to grill. The crumb tray may be put through a dishwasher
• Clean the upper and lower cooking surfaces with the scraping tool, provided, throughout the day. Always clean surfaces after each item is grilled.
• Set aside 10 minutes at the end of each day for daily maintenance.
• At the end of the day, turn off grill and let cool to approximately 100 degrees.
• Use Pane Bella Keen products, recommended stainless steel cleaner to remove any yellowing from stainless steel on upper plates, back panel, sides and front.
• Use recommended Pane Bella grill cleaner in a diluted form for cast iron plates. This process will clean the grill surface and not strip the grill to the metal thus removing seasoned finish.
• For grills with heavy carbon build-up, from continuous weeks of use without cleaning, it may be necessary to scrape the grill thoroughly and use recommended grill cleaner full strength, stripping finish to the metal. Only then it may be necessary to “re-season” after this procedure.
• Heavy carbon build-up on grill plates will negatively affect surface temperature and grill performance.

Component Access

The thermostats, timers, indicator lamps, power cord and lower cooking surface heating elements are located inside the body of the grill. Access to these components is achieved through the bottom of the unit. Gently tip the entire grill onto its side and remove the four screws holding the bottom to the body. Take care not to damage the power cord exiting the rear of the grill.

The upper surface heating elements are located in the upper grill assembly. To access, remove the four screws and one knob holding the curved cover onto the upper assembly.

The upper cooking surface assist springs are located at the top rear of the unit under the handle pilot cover. To access, remove one screw located at the back of the cover then slide the cover to one side.

The grill temperature will vary by as much as 50 degrees from the bottom to the top of the groove. Take all temperatures at the bottom of the groove.

Allow the grill to operate at temperature for 1 hour before attempting to check the calibration.

Place a surface thermometer in the center of each lower cooking section at the bottom of the groove.

Record the temperatures at which the thermostat indicator lamp just turns On then Off, disregard any temperatures other than On and Off.

Average the On and Off temperatures, if the temperature average is within 25 degrees of the set temperature the thermostat need not be replaced.
