Frequently Asked Questions - Pro CE-G15TPF Cecilware

How do I light the pilot burner?
Depress the gas control knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the pilot position. While holding the knob down, press the piezo igniter button repeatedly until the pilot lights. Continue holding the knob for 10-15 seconds, then release. If the pilot does not stay lit, wait 5 minutes and repeat.
How do I convert from natural gas to propane (LP)?
Use the included conversion kit. For the main burner, replace the #41 NAT orifice with the #51 LP orifice. For the pilot burner, swap the pilot orifice (0.45 NAT to 0.25 LP). Then flip the plastic insert in the regulator to the LP position. Ensure all connections are leak-tested with soap and water before operation.
Why does food stick to the griddle?
Common causes: the griddle is too hot, the surface needs cleaning or seasoning, or insufficient oil was used. Adjust temperature, clean with a griddle stone, and re-season with a thin layer of cooking oil.
How do I clean the griddle daily?
Turn off the unit and allow it to cool completely. Use a griddle stone to scrape off residue, then wipe with a damp cloth. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to prevent rust. Clean the grease tray and wipe stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent.
What type of gas does this griddle use?
The griddle is factory-set for natural gas. An LP conversion kit is included for propane use. Verify the regulator and orifices match the gas type before operation.
What are the required clearances for installation?
The unit requires 6 inches clearance on sides, 6 inches at the rear, and 4 inches from the countertop, all from non-combustible surfaces. It must be installed on a non-combustible surface only.
How do I season the griddle before first use?
Heat the griddle to 300-350°F (150-180°C). Pour a small amount of cooking oil (about 1 oz per sq ft) and spread it evenly over the entire surface with a cloth. Wipe off excess and repeat 2-3 times until a slick, mirror-like finish is achieved.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Immediately close the gas shut-off valve, open windows to ventilate, and evacuate the area. Do not touch electrical switches or plugs. Extinguish any open flames and call your gas supplier from a safe location.
Can I use this griddle in a household kitchen?
No. This unit is designed, built, and sold for commercial use only. It is not intended for household use and must be installed under a ventilation hood.
Where can I find replacement parts?

Adjustments

Main Burner Air Supply

  1. A proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow tipped flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.
  2. Loosen the screws on the front of the burner and increase the opening of the air shutter to eliminate the yellow tips of the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.

Lighting Instructions (Thermostat Control)

⚠️ CAUTION: All burners are lit from burning pilots. Turn the control knob to the desired temperature.

All burners have individual standing pilots which allows the main burners to cycle 'ON' - 'OFF' without the need to manually ignite the burner.

Flame failure protection is incorporated for each burner which will shut off the gas supply to that burner if flame is lost.

  1. Select the burner required, depress the gas control knob, and rotate counterclockwise to the 'pilot' position.
  2. With the gas control knob held in the depressed position, press the piezo igniter button to ignite the pilot burner.
  3. Hold in the gas control knob for approximately 10-15 seconds, then release. The pilot burner should remain lit. (If not, repeat steps 1 to 3 above after waiting for 5 minutes.)
  4. Rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature mark.
  5. The main burner will ignite automatically.
  6. Turn the main burner off: Turn the gas control knob clockwise to the "pilot" position. The main burner will extinguish and the pilot burner will remain alight.
  7. Turn all the burners off: Turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the '•' position. The main burner and the pilot burner will extinguish.
  8. Wait 5 minutes before relighting.

Preparing Griddle

Initial Cleaning

The griddle surface is protected with a protective coating. To remove this coating, light the burners and wait approximately 5 minutes for the griddle to heat up, wet the entire griddle surface with clear water, and add some griddle cleaner to the water. Let the cleaner work a few minutes, then wipe the cooking surface dry.

Seasoning

Heat to low temperature (300°F - 350 °F/150°C - 180°C) and pour on a small amount of cooking oil, about one ounce (30cc) per square foot of surface. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like surface.

Operation

Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired temperature. Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.

Cleaning

Note: Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners scratch the finish of your unit, marring its appearance and making it susceptible to dirt accumulation. Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, iodine, ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the material and shorten the life of the unit. If the stainless steel surfaces become discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finished grain.

Daily Cleaning:

  1. Always turn unit off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
  2. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone.
  3. After cleaning griddle surface, coat with cooking oil to prevent rusting.
  4. Remove the grease pan, empty it and wash it with a mild detergent.
  5. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.
  6. Once a day, thoroughly clean backsplash, sides, and front.

Weekly Cleaning

  1. Clean unit thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth. A mild detergent may be used. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
  2. To remove the drip pan, pull by handle through the opening in the front panel.
  3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean. Main burner ports must be kept clean. Clean burners with a stiff brush.
  4. After each "weekly" cleaning, the griddle must be seasoned again. If the griddle usage is very high, the "weekly" cleaning procedures may be done more often than once a week.

Air shutters should be cleaned of lint and dirt periodically.

Contact Grindmaster-Cecilware if major repairs or maintenance is required.

Maintenance

Qualified Service Personnel Only

Note: Only for qualified personnel specializing in Hotel and Restaurant Cooking Equipment. Factory approval required prior to any warranty repairs.
