Gas Pressure
GAS PRESSURE -
NOTE: Be sure your installer has verified:
1. The incoming gas pressure.
2. The manifold pressure.
3. Signed the Warranty Registration Card (return to Keating of Chicago).
NATURAL GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS:
Incoming Service Maximum: 7" Water Column
Gas Valve Outlet Pressure (Burner Manifold) : 4.0" Water Column
NOTE: Supply pressure must not be above 13.84" WC or gas valve damage may occur.
If your incoming gas pressure is excessive, you will need to install an in-line gas pressure
regulator.
1. Have the installer verify the incoming gas pressure.
2. Have the installer verify the gas valve outlet pressure at the burner manifold.

Lighting the Miraclean®Griddle
(See lighting instructions plate attached to front of Miraclean®Griddle)
Make sure that the main gas valve on the gas supply line to the Miraclean®Griddle is
in the “ON” position. Make sure your flexible connector is connected.

NOTE: AIR IN THE SUPPLY LINE MAY REQUIRE A LONGER THAN NORMAL PERIOD OF
TIME TO LIGHT YOUR MIRACLEAN®GRIDDLE DURING INITIAL INSTALLATION, AFTER
OVERNIGHT SHUT DOWN, OR WHEN RE-LIGHTING.

Note: We recommend lighting the burner on the side farthest from the incoming gas
first (left side when facing griddle). When the farthest burner receives gas, gas is
available for other burners.
1. Turn pilot gas valve knob to “PILOT” position.

and while holding, push the red spark
ignition button to light the pilot. (When
griddle is first installed, it may take longer
than 90 seconds to bleed the air from the
gas line.)

The operating temperature should be from 10°F to 25°F lower than conventional
griddles – we recommend 350ºF. You may be able to gradually work the temperature
up as you become accustomed to the more rapid cooking of the Miraclean®Griddle.
5. Set thermostat knob to desired temperature. The Miraclean®Griddle has been
calibrated at the factory.

2. The Miraclean Griddle surface is NOT A NON-STICK SURFACE.

griddle in the work area completely clean, using
the 4" wide scraper supplied by Keating.

Cooking on the Miraclean®Griddle

“V” on front side of griddle plate
To use the best cooking areas, locate the inverted “V’s” on the front side of the griddle
cooking plate. The “V’s” indicate where the thermostat sensing bulbs are located below
the plate.

RECOMMENDED COOKING LOAD PLACEMENT: COOK AROUND THE THERMOSTAT
DO NOT cook directly over the thermostat sensing bulb - if you continually cook over
the sensing bulb only, you are drawing heat from that section; the thermostat calls
for heat but since it has not dissipated in the other areas of the surface, you will
overheat the griddle plate.
