ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE

APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL

ELECTRICAL CODES.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.

GAS PRESSURE AND REGULATOR INSTALLATION

Gas regulator pressure is preset at the factory at 5" W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas and 10"

W.C. for propane gas. No further adjustment should be required.

Install the regulator as close to the griddle on the gas supply line as possible. Make sure that the

arrow on the underside of the regulator is pointing toward the flow of gas to the griddle (Fig. 2) and

the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and adjustment screw up right (Fig. 3).

The installation supply pressure should be 7-9" W.C. (water column) for natural gas and 11-12"

W.C. for propane gas.

At no time should the griddle be connected to supply pressure greater than 1/2psig (3.45 kPa) or

14" W.C.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2psig (3.45 kPa), the griddle and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When gas supply pressure is 1/2psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the griddle should be isolated from the gas

supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

FLUE CONNECTIONS

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the griddle. It is

recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation

system installed by qualified personnel.

From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of

18" must be maintained.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,

CLEANING OR SERVICING.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The griddle is shipped covered with a protective coating. Remove this film only when the griddle

plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Use a non-corrosive, grease dissolving

commercial cleaner, following manufacturer's directions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft

clean cloth. Clean all accessories. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Seasoning the Griddle

Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion. Heat griddle to a low (300-350°F)

temperature and pour on a small amount of cooking oil (about one ounce per square foot of surface).

Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe

off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the procedure two to three times until the griddle has a slick,

mirror-like surface. This should also be done after every cleaning.

Seasoning the Chrome Griddle Plate

To season the chrome plate griddle, lightly coat the griddle surface with a film of cooking oil. Use

a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Heat the

griddle plate to 350°F for 60 minutes. Scrape off any carbonized oil.

CONTROLS

THERMOSTAT — Each thermostat controls the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the

griddle plate up to the set temperature.

OPERATION OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

1. Set the cooking temperature of each thermostat to be used.

2. Push ON/OFF switch to ON. The red indicator light will glow indicating the griddle is on and

calling for heat.

WARNING: APPLIANCES EQUIPPED WITH A FLEXIBLE ELECTRIC SUPPLY CORD ARE

PROVIDED WITH A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS

PLUG BE CONNECTED INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE.

IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN

ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

Power supply for electric thermostats is 120 volts, 50/60 Hertz, 1 phase, 5 amperes.

Do not connect the griddle to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.

— 8 —

SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

1. Push ON/OFF switch to OFF. Red indicator light will stop glowing. This indicates that all gas has

been shut off to the main burners and griddle is not heating.

EXTENDED SHUTDOWN

1. Shut off the main gas supply valve.

2. Unplug the griddle electrical supply cord from the wall receptacle.

3. Apply a heavy coat of oil over the griddle plate to inhibit rusting.

ADJUSTMENTS

Leveling

Uneven cooking temperatures can be corrected by following the procedures below.

1. Place a level on the griddle.

2. Using the carpenter level supplied with the griddle, level the griddle as follows:

a) Place the level on the center of the griddle plate checking the level of the griddle side to side

and front to rear. The griddle must be level.

b) If the griddle is not level, proceed to adjustment instructions in step 3 to level.

3. Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Using channel locks, turn the feet

counter clockwise to increase height and clockwise to decrease height until leveling is achieved.

From the full down position, do not extend the legs out more than 1 3/4".

Calibration

1. Each thermostat controls a 12" zone of the griddle. Using a suitable temperature measurement

device (i.e. Surface Probe), observe the temperatures at the center points of the cooking zones.

These points are located by starting 6" from either side and every 12" across the width of the

griddle, with all points located 12" back from the front edge of the griddle plate.

2. Set thermostats to 350°F and allow to stabilize. (Allow indicator light to cycle ON and OFF at

least two times.)

3. Watch for indicator light to cycle OFF, then measure the temperature for that zone. The

temperature should be 350°F (+/- 15°F). If not, continue to Step 4.

4. Carefully loosen knob set screw. DO NOT allow knob to turn. Carefully remove the knob from

the thermostat shaft, exposing the temperature dial. Loosen screws on the temperature dial and

adjust so that the temperature indicated by the knob arrow matches the griddle plate temperature

reading. (Knob will have to be placed back on the shaft to verify adjustment.)

5. Once calibration is achieved, tighten the temperature dial screws and knob set screws.

Pilot Adjustments

Using a flat head screwdriver, turn the pilot adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the flame and

counter clockwise to increase the flame. Pilot adjustments should be performed only by Authorized

Service Personnel.

ZONE COOKING

This griddle features a tubular U shaped burner in 12" sections, each operating off of independent

thermostats. Each 12" section is a separate cooking zone. This allows cooking a wide variety of

product over a single griddle plate. The chart below is a suggested usage of zone cooking.

When zone cooking, it is suggested that you start with your lowest temperature setting at either side

of the griddle, increasing the zone temperature as you move up the zone line. See chart below for

an example. These zone cooking guidelines will vary depending on product temperatures, size and

shape.

This guide should be adjusted to suit your product and operational cooking preference.

USING THE GRIDDLE

Each 12" section of the griddle is independently controlled by a thermostat. Turn the thermostat(s)

to the desired setting.

Turn the burners on about 20-25 minutes before cooking to preheat.

A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the griddle will produce the most consistent

product results.

This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by carelessly

using a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try

to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the spatula

on the griddle surface.

CLEANING THE STANDARD GRIDDLE

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.

Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once daily.

Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To

produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products, keep the griddle plate clean and free

of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the

griddle surface to food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency. Worst of all,

carbonized grease tends to cling to the griddle foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and

unappetizing appearance.

To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:

After Each Use

Clean the griddle with a wire brush or flexible spatula.

Once a Day

Thoroughly clean splash back, sides and front. Remove the grease drawer, empty it and wash it

out in the same manner as any ordinary cooking utensil.

Once a Week

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone, screen or Scotch Bright

pad on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may

be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed. After

removal of the detergent, the surface of the plate should be covered with a thin film of oil to prevent

rusting.

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove

discolorations, use a griddle cleaner.

After each weekly cleaning, the griddle must be reseasoned.

If the griddle usage is very high, consider going through the weekly cleaning procedures more often

than once a week.

CLEANING THE CHROME GRIDDLE PLATE

After Each Use

Clean the griddle with a flexible spatula or griddle scraper. NEVER USE AN ABRASIVE SCOURING

PAD OR GRIDDLE STONE ON THE CHROME PLATE SURFACE.
