Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Installation & Bench Mounting: Position the griddle on a flat, heat-resistant workbench or secure it atop the optional MB9-05 base stand. Ensure a licensed electrician hardwires the 6 kW 3-phase power connection.

2. Temperature Control & Cooking: Turn the thermostatic control dial to your desired cooking temperature (+120°C to +310°C). Allow the chrome plate to pre-heat fully before adding food. The mirror-chrome surface requires minimal cooking oil due to its non-porous finish.

3. Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: At the end of trading shifts, allow the chrome plate to cool down to approximately 80°C. Scrape down food particles using a specialized chrome scraper or flat spatula. Apply warm water or ice cubes to thermal-shock grease off the surface, wipe dry with a soft microfibre cloth, and empty the lower fat collector tray daily. Avoid harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals to preserve the mirror chrome finish.
