GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
With all the large holes cut out, the smaller control panels drilled, and the stiffening angle welded into place
the fixture is now ready to receivethe griddle.
1. The manufacturer furnishes a gasket or seal that must be placed around the perimeter of the hole in
the top as shown in Fig. 4. This gasket may be temporarily held in place with tape. Do not place the
staple securingthe gasket ends on or neara corner.
2. A number of clamps, such as the one shown in Fig. 4, appear at intervals along the perimeter. Pull
clamps outward so the griddle frame clearsthem when it is droppedinto place.
3. Drop the griddle into position by lowering it into the fixture top hole. Make sure the thermostat
capillaries are not kinked or pinched when setting the griddle in place. With the griddle in place, the
gasket or seal becomes compressed.See Fig. 5.
4. Slide the clamp inward so it engages the upper part of the protruding angle from the griddle frame.
See Fig. 6. Slide the clamp sideways so the notch on it locks against the reinforcement angle. This
prevents the clamp from sliding out.
5. Tighten the clamp screws against the angle as shown in Figure 6.This tightening forces the clamps
to press down on the griddle body frame extension.The griddle top is now drawn close to the fixture
top, compressing the gasket and forming an effective grease guard. Tighten at least one screw on
each side before tighteningall screws. Do not exceed 60 in/lbtorque when tighteningbolts.
6. Slide the tray slide (grease drawer receptacle) through the cutout hole on the apron or front of the
fixture, resting it on the two"U" braces.
7. Mount the thermostats to the control panel and make the pilot light connections per the
accompanying wire diagram. Before making any electrical connections, check nameplate voltage
(located on tray slide undergrease drawer) to ensureit matches voltage being applied.
8. Set the control panel in place and screw it to the apron using the ½ inchlong thread forming screws.
9. Pull the tray slide against theback of the control panel and secure it with the appropriate screws.

Electrical loadings of thegriddles covered by this instructionare tabulated below.
Griddle is not fused and mustbe connected to a properly fusedcircuit.
Griddle must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local
codes.
1. This equipment must be installed in an all metal fixture of steel or stainless steel construction,
.078 inch thick minimum for the top and supportingframe. Side enclosure to be at least 22 MSG
minimumthickness.
2. Aremovable bottom enclosure must be provided under each drop-in unit and be made of metal
construction of at least 22 MSG minimum. If ventilating openings are provided in the bottom
enclosure, they must not allow the entrance of ¾ inch diameter rod nor be located directly
belowuninsulated liveterminals.
3. Minimum spacing between griddle top edge and adjacent items should be: fixture back wall 1 ¾
inch, fixture side enclosure1 inch, front controlpanel 7/8inch, other drop-in devices1 inch.
4. Controls shall be mountedon the front vertical surfaceof the fixture.
5. For supply connections,use wire suitable for at least 90° C (194° F).
1. Griddle can be mounted with the trough in the front or rear, dimensions shown are for front
trough mounting. Forrear trough mounting,this dimension mustbe between 7/8 and 2 inches.
2. Table top reinforcementandgasket furnishedwith thegriddle.
3. At the factory, the electrical connection box was installed in the front position. The connection
box can be moved to the rear locationshown.
IMPORTANT:
1. Any dimension smaller than the minimum or larger than the maximum shown in the table will
require corresponding changes to the grease chute by the fabricator by adding an extension to
preventthe greasefrom spillinginto the cabinet.
2. Any dimensions smaller than minimum given will require additional panels or sides and back to
facilitateservicing.
3. The minimum dimension from the back of the control panel to the front of the griddle top is 7/8 inch
regardless of the shape of thebullnose or table overhang.
4. Griddles are shipped from the factory with dimension "D" at 7 7/16 inch. Moveable braces permit
5

the fabricator to easily varythis dimension up to 1 0 7/16 inchesin increments of ¾ inch.
5. The minimum space between adjacent griddles must be 1 5/8 inch and between any other
combination of drop in cookingequipment mustbe 1 inch.
6. Electrical wiring crossingthe tray slide is to be placed underthe tray slide and not aboveit.
7. The installer or servicer must put the electrical wiring near the control panel inside the wire guide
before attaching the control panel to thefixture front.
IMPORTANT STEPS IN INSTALLATION:
1. Griddle position to be no closer than 7/8 inch from componentframe edge and control panel.
2. Install the gasket between the griddle top and the table top before clamping. Exercise caution so
that the griddle top does not pinchor damage the gasket.

OWNER'S INFORMATION
Cleaning the Griddle After Uncrating:
The Controls:
Seasoning the Griddle Surface:
Operating Instructions:
Before using for the first time, be sure to remove the factory-applied rust preventative compound.
Add a mild detergent to hot water and wash the griddle well. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipedry.
Turning the dial knob (recessed in the front control panel) controls the heat of the griddle surface.
When at least one control is turned on, a signal light in the upper left-hand corner of the control panel
will glow continuously. Thus, the operatorknows at a glance whether or not the griddle is energized.
Separate signal light cycles with each control. Whenever the thermostat calls for heat, the signal
light associated with it will be on. Each thermostat controls twelve inches of griddle surface width.
Thermostat temperature range is 200°- 450°F+/- 10°F.
After thorough cleaning, the griddle is ready for seasoning. Preheat to 400°F. When the dialed
temperature is reachedas indicated by the signal lights goingoff, spread a light film of cooking oil or
fat over the entire surface of the griddle. In two minutes,wipe the griddle clean of excess oil. Repeat
this operation.The griddle is now ready for use.
1. Preheat griddle (preheat time, 77°F - 350°F, approximately 8 minutes). Set the thermostat dials at
the correct griddling temperature for the food to be cooked.Ared light will flash on automatically for
each section of the griddle when the dial is set and will flash off when the section has reached the
dialed temperature. (The signal light will flash on and off during the cooking operation to show that
correct temperatureis being maintained.) You are now readyto load the griddle.

2. Load Griddle. After preheating, load griddle and cook according to recipe. Turn foods halfway
through cooking timeunless otherwise specifiedin recipe.
Economy Hint: Turn griddle OFF (or to lowestthermostat setting) during idle periods.
CARE & CLEANING
1. IMPORTANT:At the end of each days operation,turn all temperature controlsto OFF.
2. After each cooking load, scrape the griddle surface with scraper or rigid spatula to remove excess
fat and food particles. ONCE A DAY, or whenever necessary, thoroughly clean and wipe out the
grease trough.As necessary during use, wipe out accumulated material to provide good drainage.
Remove grease drawer, empty and wash. In general, soap and waterwith the aid of a sponge or soft
cloth will clean the drawer thoroughly. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry. Clean control panel
with a damp cloth and dry.
3. EACH WEEK, or whenever necessary, clean griddle thoroughly. If desired, use a pumice or griddle
stone over surface. Rub with the grain of the metal while still warm. Avoid steel wool! After each
thorough cleaning, the cooking surface must be reseasoned. To remove control knobs for cleaning,
pull straight out. Wash in soapy water. Rinse, dry and replace on shaft.
SERVICING
Your griddle is covered by a one-year written warranty on parts and labor. If this device should require
service, call your local commercial equipment dealer or authorized service station. The nameplate
indicating the pertinent electrical data of the griddle is located in the front of the grease drawer receptacle
and can be seen readily whenthe drawer is removed.
