WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
GRIDDLE OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover
must be removed prior to operation of the
griddle.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the griddle.
To heat the griddle, push in the control
knob and turn counterclockwise to the
desired temperature. It is normal to hear a
clicking sound. This is the electronic
ignition lighting the burner. When the
burner is lit, the thermostat will control the
temperature.
Preheat for approximately 10 minutes.
When the griddle is preheated, the griddle
indicator light will go out. The light will
cycle on and off as the thermostat requires
more heat to maintain the set temperature.
This will allow heat to be evenly distributed
and the griddle to maintain the set
temperature.
The double griddle has two burners with
separate control knobs that act indepen-
dently of each other. If only one griddle is
being used, there will be some heat transfer
to the inactive griddle.
To turn the griddle off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the position.
INFRARED GRIDDLE
The steel griddle plate operates at 5.5 kW
(336 g/h). It is thermostatically controlled,
which means once the set temperature is
reached, the heat cycles to hold that tempera-
ture. To prevent food from sticking and to
protect the surface from moisture, it is neces-
sary to season the griddle prior to use. This
seasoning process as well as general use will
change the appearance of the griddle.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE
Clean the surface with hot water and a mild
detergent. Rinse and dry.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the griddle.
The griddle needs to go through a ”burn
in” period. Turn the griddle on at 175˚C for
30 minutes to clean oils from the bottom of
the griddle. After 30 minutes, turn the
griddle off and allow it to cool.
To season, pour 5 ml of peanut or vegetable
oil per 279 mm griddle in the center; spread
evenly with a paper towel, avoiding the
corners. Be careful not to apply too much
oil. Excess oil will leave a gummy residue
that will have to be removed.
Push and turn the control knob to 175˚C.
Heat until you see the first signs of smoke.
Turn the griddle . When the griddle has
cooled and is only slightly warm, wipe off
any excess oil. Let the griddle cool
completely.
Repeat with another teaspoon of oil. The
brown appearance will darken with use.
Be particularly cautious when cooking
food high in fat. It can become hot
enough to ignite.
