OPERATINGFood will cook much faster with a Top-Side™ Cookerthan with a griddle alone. Watch food while cooking oruse timers to ensure food will not be overcooked.OPERATION OF THE TOP-SIDE™ COOKER SHOULD BELIMITED TO PERSONNEL THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OP-ERATING PROCEDURES.CONDITIONING THE TOP-SIDE™ MIRACLEAN®SURFACEThe Miraclean® surface has been “seasoned” at thefactory. The chrome surface when heated creates athin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a releasingagent for food products. If you feel you need to recon-dition the surface, the following instructions should befollowed:1. Follow cleaning procedures on page 4.2. Heat the Miraclean® to 400°F for one hour.3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the Miraclean®to cool to about 350°F, as is evident when griddlecycles on or surface thermometer indicates correcttemperature.4. Lightly coat the Miraclean® surface with griddle oil.NOTE: Despite the food releasing properties, thechrome surface is not a true “non-stick” surface. Forbest cooking results and product appearance, usegriddle oil for products that require the surface to beconditioned.COOKING1. Turn ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.NOTE: Because of the superior heating characteristicsand heat retention properties found in the Miraclean®surface, operating temperatures should be set 10°F to25°F below conventional griddles.2. Set thermostat to the desired temperature. Red“ELEMENT ON” light will illuminate when the elementis on.NOTE: To increase temperature, adjust knob clockwise.To decrease, adjust knob counterclockwise.Figure 3-1Top-Side™ Cooker Control PanelNOTE: The green “Power On” light will be illuminatedas long as there is power to the Top-Side™ Cooker.Pre-2005 ModelMaximum thermostat setting 554ºF (290ºC)2005 - Current Model
