noticeably decreased performance.
DO NOT connect or energize
this appliance until all
installation instructions are
read and followed. Damage
to the appliance will result if
these instructions are not
followed.
IMPORTANT: Damage due to being connected to the wrong voltage is
NOT covered by warranty.
Use copper wire suitable for at least 90ºC for supply connections.
Griddles are factory wired three-phase (3ø).
For single-phase (1ø) wiring, refer to the wiring diagram attached to the
griddle.
CAUTION:
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
This griddle is not fused. Protect the circuit with properly sized fuses or
circuit breaker.

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.)
