Introduction  
Congratulations on the purchase of your Cecilware Counter Top Griddle. Please take time to carefully read

* Non-original spare parts are used.  
* The machine has not been handled and cleaned correctly.  
Packaging  
Cecilware prides itself on quality and service, ensuring that at the time of packing all products are supplied fully  
functional and free of damage.  
Provided in this package are the following:  
* Griddle  
* Waste Tray  
* Manual  
Should you find any damage that occurs in transit, please contact your Cecilware dealer immediately.  
Installation  
Remove the Cecilware Griddle from the packaging. Be certain that all protective plastics and residues are  
thoroughly cleaned from its surface.  
Place your Cecilware Griddle on a firm level surface; the adjustable feet can assist in leveling.  
Local standards and regulations should be consulted in order to abide by standards set in relation to  
positioning, spacing, and ventilation. Cecilware recommends that you allow no less than 4” for a ventilation  
gap around the perimeter of this unit. Common sense and initiative should be used when choosing position  
and operation of this product.  
Caution:  
Do not position or operate near combustible materials/flammable objects.  
Once your Griddle has been placed in position, be sure that the stainless steel waste tray is correctly  
positioned.  
Supply the appropriate power and connect to source; your Griddle is now ready to turn on and operate. (For  
power supply please see technical specification sheet, page 10).  
Preparing the cooking surface:  
Be sure the cooking surface is clean; then simply turn the unit on and apply a generous amount of oil to the  
plates. Using the thermostat, set the grill to 230° F; once the grill has reached that temperature, switch off and  
with care wipe the plates clean of excess oil.  
Caution the grill and oil will be HOT!!!!!!

Operation  
Your Griddle should be turned on prior to usage to allow the cooking surface to warm up; 5 minutes is  
sufficient.  
To get efficient use from this unit, it is recommended that for intermittent use that the thermostat be turned  
down when not cooking. This will assist in reducing power consumption and also allow for quicker heat  
response when needed.  
Cecilware recommends that the cooking surface is lightly greased before each use.  
Turn the thermostat dial towards the "ON" position; the amber pilot light will activate to confirm this. Adjust the  
dial to the required setting. As the grill plate fluctuates in temperature, the thermostat will operate to maintain  
set temperature; the light will continue to indicate when the elements are heating or have reached the required  
temperature.  
A temperature setting of between 375ºF and 430ºF will be sufficient for general cooking. This may vary for  
particular food types, individual needs, or experience.  
Simply place the food products on the grilling surface and cook to your needs.  
Cleaning, Care and Maintenance  
*Switch off the power and disconnect from the power source.  
*The Griddle should be cleaned regularly throughout use, and thoroughly cleaned after each meal period.  
Regular cleaning will result in easier cleaning, as the build up will be less. Correct preparation of the cooking  
surface when first used, will assist in keeping the plates clean.  
*For best results clean the plate while still warm using warm soapy water. A nylon cleaning cloth may be used,  
but it is recommended that you avoid scrapers made from steel, wool, as they will damage the plate. Do not  
use cold water on warm plates, as buckling effect may occur.  
*When scrubbing the plates, do not clean too thoroughly; if you do, you must prepare the cooking surface  
again before use.  
*Remove waste tray from unit and discard waste; clean in hot soapy water.  
*The remainder of the Griddle can be cleaned with a damp cloth using hot, soapy water.  
*Warm soapy water is recommended for cleaning; prolonged use of cleaning agents may damage stainless  
steel.  
* Do not immerse in water.

Safety  
*A Cecilware Recommended Qualified Service Technician should carry out repairs if necessary. Do not  
remove any components or service panels on this product.  
*Allow the Griddle to cool down after use before dismantling for cleaning; the unit will be too hot to handle  
immediately after use.  
*When cleaning, switch off power and disconnect from the outlet.  
*Do not immerse unit in water or use hose to clean.  
*If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Cecilware Recommended Qualified Service  
Technician in order to avoid a hazard.
