4. OPERATION

RISKS RESULTING FROM CONTACT WITH VERY HOT OBJECT:

HOT

Hot areas may form during the cooking process, especially on the cookware, grills and the inner side of the door. Use protective gloves whenever handling hot objects. During the cooking process, do not handle cookware containing liquids or liquid foodstuffs located above eye level. Danger of burns.

Be sure all operators read, understand and follow the information contained in this manual including caution warnings, operating instructions and safety instructions.

⚠️ Never use wet or damp gloves as moisture can conduct heat quickly.

Keep the floor in front of the equipment clean and dry. If spills occur, clean immediately to avoid potential injuries.

Do not use abrasive (or steel) materials, such as wire brushes, metal scouring pads to clean the griddle surface

The ACCU-STEAM G2™ griddle is constructed and uses technology like no other griddle in the world. The stainless steel cooking surface is heated by steam. The griddle steam chamber requires no additional liquid or maintenance. A temperature sensor to sense temperature and an over-temperature safety shutdown system are part of the griddle assembly. At temperatures below 212°F (100°C), the chamber is actually in a vacuum, similar to that of a canning jar. At temperatures above 212°F (100°C), the chamber operates under pressure. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the steam and reports this data to the temperature control electronics, which energizes the heating system. This system maintains the griddle cooking surface temperatures to within ± 5°F (2.7°C) over the entire cooking surface and provides a near instant temperature recovery, even in the same spot on the griddle, when turning food in place.

4.3 COOKING

4.3.1 CLEAN AFTER INSTALLATION

It is recommended that you clean your ACCU-STEAM™ griddle thoroughly before using it for the first time. To clean the appliance cooking surface, just simply wash it down with a solution of mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry with a clean towel.

⚠️ Please use caution as temperatures on and around the griddle cooking surface could cause severe burns.

4.3.2 SEASONING

Once the cooking surface has been cleaned, turn the appliance on via the digital control key pad and set the temperature to 200°F. (93°C), and allow the griddle cooking surface to heat for 10 minutes. Using a high temperature oil, such as Pan and Grill Shortening™, Whirl™ or equivalent, pour enough to cover the entire appliance cooking surface. Do not use standard vegetable oil to season the griddle cooking surface. It may cause food to stick and result in improperly cooked food. Work this seasoning oil into the griddle surface with a regular heavy-duty scrub pad for about 5 minutes, making sure that you scrub the seasoning oil over the entire appliance cooking surface. After the 400°F (204°C). The appliance will be preheated when the selected set temperature is displayed and the corresponding LED goes solid. Please use caution as temperatures on and around the griddle cooking surface could cause severe burns.

4.3.3 COOKING

Begin cooking only after the appliance has been preheated to the desired temperature. Please note these facts:

• You can cook all the way to the edges of the cooking surface because the temperature does not vary across the entire cooking surface.
• You can turn the product to the same spot because the cooking surface has near instant heat recovery.
• It will always cook the same, regardless of product load or surface coverage.

Accurate Cooking Temperatures

Because of the inaccurate surface temperatures and long recovery times common with other griddles cooking surfaces. It is doubtful you were cooking at the set temperature or the temperature you wanted. Adjust the temperature on the Accu-Steam™ griddle and it will not change or vary by the location on the griddle surface. There are no hot or cold zones.

4.3.4 SURFACE TEMPERATURES

The digital temperature control and temperature sensor are more accurate than any other device to measure the cooking surface temperature in this appliance. Any other digital device may show a difference. The important use of the external temperature measuring device is to ascertain that the temperatures are within ±5^ F across the entire cooking surface of the appliance.

Due to the construction material of the cooking surface an infrared temperature probe can't be used.

The proper measurement tools to use is a calibrated weighted temperature probe and digital temperature meter set (Fig 4.G).

A number of factors can cause surface temperature reading differences such as:

• Air movement across the appliance cooking surface can lower the temperature reading as much as 10^ F from the set temperature.
• Proper calibration of the temperature measuring device.
• How long after the heat light turned off before temperature measurement was completed.
