OPERATION  
CAUTION:  
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE  
HOT SURFACE  
SEASONING STANDARD AND GROOVED GRIDDLES  
Exposed surfaces can be  
very hot and may cause  
severe burns on contact.  
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. Preheat griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).  
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over entire griddle surface.  
c. Allow oil film to “cook in” for approximately 2 minutes, or until  
it smokes.  
d. Wipe griddle surface with clean damp cloth to remove all oil.  
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until griddle  
has a slick, clean surface.  
IMPORTANT:  
CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES  
SCRATCHES WILL  
DAMAGE THE SURFACE  
OF 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 griddle surface using a soft clean cloth and a  
small amount of mild detergent.  
DO NOT use anything on  
chrome griddle that could  
scratch the surface.  
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.  
c. The griddle is now ready to use.  
USING THE GRIDDLE  
DO NOT clean chrome  
surface with griddle bricks,  
pumice stone or abrasive  
cleansers.  
Check the chart on page 7 for recommended cooking temperatures.  
Turn temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The heating  
indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the indicator  
light first goes out, griddle is ready to use.  
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.  
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.  
NOTE:  
Separate sections of 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 coolest to  
hottest sequentially across the width of the griddle. (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.)
