Safety

1. Ensure that the power supply you are using is adequate for continual grilddle use and the voltage is correct.
2. This equipment MUST HAVE at least 12″ of space clearance from combustible construction on the sides, back, top and front.
3. Unplug the unit when not in use and before cleaning.
4. Do not immerse unit, cord, or plug in liquid at any time.
5. Do not operate unattended.
6. Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended use.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Always use on a firm, dry, and level surface.
9. Do not use if unit has a damaged cord or plug, in the event the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner.
10. Any incorrect installation, alterations, adjustments, and/or improper maintenance can lead to property loss and injury. All repairs should be done by authorized professionals.

Exhaust Canopy
Griddles inherently create a good deal of heat and smoke and should be installed under an efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters. A vertical distance of not less than 48″ shall be provided between the top of the appliance and filters or any other combustible material. Exhaust installation must conform to local codes.
Connecting Power Supply
For hardwired models, an electrician will need access to the bottom of the units. Additionally, a 50 Amp breaker is needed per junction box if installing separate connections; or one 80 Amp breaker if both are wired into the same breaker. A professional electrician is needed to install hard-wired units. See wiring diagrams and model voltage below. Please check the product page for installation guidelines.
Instructions for First Time Use
There is a thin layer of wax paper on top of the grill plate that must be removed prior to using the griddle. In order to protect the plates of your new grill during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface prior to shipment. This oil is harmless, but must be removed before you begin to use. To remove, preheat the grill until the oil liquifies.
Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth and rinse with a mixture of 1/4 cup vinegar to 1 qt. water. To season, spread unsalted solid shortening or liquid frying compound evenly over the entire griddle surface. Turn all griddle burners to medium and wait until the shortening begins to smoke, then turn the burners OFF. Rub the now melted shortening into the griddle surface with burlap, moving in the direction of the surface’s polish marks and covering the entire surface. Allow the griddle to cool. When the griddle is cool after the second seasoning, wipe it with a thin film of shortening or cooking oil.

Adjustable feet installation
Ensure that all feet are installed correctly before the operation of this griddle. Your griddle includes four adjustable feet, that are packaged unattached. Each foot has a screw protruding from the top for assembly. Locate the four screw holes at each corner of the bottom housing of the griddle. Insert the screw and turn the foot clockwise until snug. Repeat for all four feet. The height of the feet can be adjusted by rotating the bottom of the foot. Ensure that all four feet are adjusted to the same height to make a level cooking surface.

Operation

1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet. The red “Power” light will illuminate.
2. Set the desired temperature by turning the rotary temperature knob clockwise. The heating element will begin to heat up and the green “Heating’ light will illuminate.
3. When the temperature reaches the desired setting, the green “Heating” light will cycle on and off with the heating element to maintain the set temperature.
4. For best results, allow the unit to preheat for 15 minutes before placing food on cooking surface.
5. Turn temperature knob to the “Off” position to turn the green “Heating” light and heating element off. You must unplug the unit for the red “Power light” to turn off.

Transportation And Maintenance
During transportation, the machine should be handled with care.

Cleaning

1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess grease and food. A grease tray is provided for the drippings. If there is an accumulation of burned-on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Please follow Noble Chemical Griddle Kleen instructions below: Evenly pour a thin layer of GRIDDLE KLEEN over the hot griddle surface (300° – 350°F). Immediately spread the liquid with a compatible high heat sponge over the entire cooking area and gently scrub heavily soiled spots as needed. Allow a thin layer of GRIDDLE KLEEN to remain in contact with the warm grill surface for a few minutes. Then, wipe or squeegee into the grease tray. Turn off the griddle. Rinse the surface and wipe clean with a thick damp cloth. Apply a thin coating of liquid shortening to prevent the surface from rusting.
2. Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day, remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking utensil. The drawers are removed by pulling forward until they are released from their track.

Everything you need to clean and sanitize your griddle can be found in this handy griddle gear cleaning kit.
