General Installation Instructions:
Caution: DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. Check all gas piping for leaks with a soap and water solution
before operating unit.
NOTICE THE UNIT, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE
ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70, LATEST EDITION.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, CSA C22.2, AS APPLICABLE.
NOTICE Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc., states in its
NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are "authority having jurisdiction" when it comes to requirements for installation of equipment. There-
fore, installations should comply with all Local codes.
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 receive the 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 securing the
gasket ends on or near a 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 clears them when it is dropped into 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 tightening
all screws. Do not exceed 60 in/lb torque when tightening bolts.
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 under
grease drawer) to ensure it matches voltage being applied.
8. Set the control panel in place and screw it to the apron using the ½-inch long thread forming screws.
9. Pull the tray slide against the back of the control panel and secure it with the appropriate screws.
10. Slide the grease drawer into place.

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 prevent the grease from
spilling into the cabinet.
2. Any dimensions smaller than minimum given will require additional panels or sides and back to facilitate
servicing.
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 the bullnose or table overhang.
4. Griddles are shipped from the factory with dimension ”D” at 7 7/16 inch. Moveable braces permit the fabricator
to easily vary this dimension up to 10 7/16 inches in 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 cooking equipment must be 1 inch.
6. Electrical wiring crossing the tray slide is to be placed under the tray slide and not above it.

OWNER’S INFORMATION
Cleaning the Griddle After Uncrating:
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 wipe dry.
The Controls:
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 operator knows 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
200-450F +/-10F.
Seasoning the Griddle Surface:
After thorough cleaning, the griddle is ready for seasoning. Preheat to 400F. When the dialed temperature is
reached as indicated by the signal lights going off, 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.
Operating Instructions:
1. Preheat griddle (preheat time, 77F -350F, approximately 8 minutes). Set the thermostat dials at the correct
griddling temperature for the food to be cooked. A red 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 temperature is being
maintained.) You are now ready to load the griddle.
2. Load Griddle. After preheating, load griddle and cook according to recipe. Turn foods halfway through
cooking time unless otherwise specified in recipe.
3. Economy Hint. Turn griddle OFF (or to lowest thermostat setting) during idle periods.
Care and Cleaning:
1. IMPORTANT: At the end of each day’s operation, turn all temperature controls to “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 water with 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 when the drawer is removed.
