NORMAL OPERATION

GRIDDLE MODE
Griddle mode can be used to perform sauté work, braising, griddle cooking, melting (sugar, chocolate,
etc), and hot plate work. Griddle mode is entered by turning the Selector Knob to GRIDDLE and turning
the Temperature Adjustment Knob to the desired cooking temperature. Any temperature between Room
Temperature and 450°F can be selected.
All cooking in Griddle mode will be performed directly on the bottom surface of the tank and the
temperature displayed while in this mode is the temperature of this surface. On initial heat up, unit will
reach desired temperature in five minutes or less. When desiring to cook at a lower temperature than the
current setting, adjust the Temperature Adjustment Knob to the desired lower temperature and allow the
unit adequate time to cool before beginning next operation.
HINT: When performing multiple cooking operations requiring different temperatures, for the most
efficient use of time and energy, start with the lowest temperature first and move to higher
temperatures in progressive order. Stage changes to lower cooking temperatures to coincide with
cleanout of the tank so that the use of water can help bring the temperature down quickly.
HINT: When using the unit for braising, it is possible to retain and reserve the liquid for use in
sauces. To do so, ensure that the unit drain is clean and free from contaminating substances.
Ensure that drain plug is in place and firmly seated. Open the front door of the unit and remove the
drain pipe. Place a ½ or ⅔ size hotel pan on the rails provided, ensuring that the pan is positioned
under the tank drain and is of adequate size to hold the amount of liquid being used. When braising
is complete, lift drain plug and catch liquid in pan. Replace drain plug, carefully remove pan with
liquid, then replace drain pipe, ensuring that pipe is securely fastened in place before closing front
door and resuming normal operations.
BOIL MODE
Boil mode can be used to steam, boil, poach, and water bath cooking as well as be used as a bain marie.
When the unit is in Boil mode, the tank MUST be filled with water at least to the minimum marking.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit. While the unit is in Boil mode, the water button is active
and can be used at any time. The temperature displayed will be the temperature of the water itself.
