OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A.
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
1. SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES
As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has microscopic pores. It is important to
fill these pores with oil in order to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until it smokes.
Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is removed.
For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the griddle has a slick, clean surface.
2. CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are filled by the chrome plating, no seasoning
of the griddle surface is required.
a.
Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth and a small amount of mild
detergent.
b.
c.
Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
The griddle is now ready to use.
IMPORTANT: SCRATCHES WILL DAMAGE THE GRIDDLE SURFACE!
DO NOT use anything on this griddle that could scratch the surface.
DO NOT clean chrome surface with griddle bricks, pumice stone or abrasive cleansers.
B.
USING THE GRIDDLE
CAUTION: Hot surfaces
Exposed surfaces can be very hot and may cause severe burns on contact.
1. Check the chart on page 6 for recommended cooking temperatures. Turn the temperature control
knob to the desired temperature. The indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the
indicator light first goes out, the griddle is ready to use.
NOTE: Separate sections of the griddle may be set to different temperatures. This will allow a
variety of products to be prepared at the same time, and will allow prepared product to be held
at serving temperature after cooking. For best results, different temperatures should be set from
(Heat will migrate over the entire
griddle surface. Setting one section low, adjacent to a section set high, may overwork components
in the “high” section as the thermostat tries to compensate for heat lost to the “low” section.)
coolest to hottest sequentially across the width of the griddle.
2. For standard griddles, keep the griddle surface clean and well oiled during use. Scrape cooking
waste into the grease trough frequently during use. Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of
cooking oil on the griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick surface.
3. For chrome plated griddles, scrape cooking waste into the grease trough after preparing each order.
DO NOT bang or tap pots, pans, spatulas or other metal utensils on the griddle surface as this may
damage the chrome plating.
