carrier.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE
TO KEATING FILE YOUR CLAIM AS ABOVE.
FIRST STEPS
POSITIONING
Keep appliance area free and clear of any
combustibles. Position the Miraclean®Griddle 6 inches
(152mm) from any combustible material. A minimum of
24 inches (610mm) should be provided at the front of
the Miraclean®Griddle for servicing and proper
operation. Air for combustion enters the Miraclean®
Griddle from the bottom of the cabinet and the bottom
of the control panel.
DO NOT BLOCK BOTTOM OF MIRACLEAN
GRIDDLE CABINET. DO NOT OBSTRUCT FLUE.
Your Miraclean®Griddle is designed to be serviced
from the front with adequate clearance for air openings
into the combustion chamber servicing and operation.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
Suitable for non-combustible floors.
VENTILATION
The Miraclean®Griddle must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is one of the important conside
rations for efficient operation of the Miraclean®Griddle.
It should be installed so that the products of combus-
tion are removed efficiently without producing drafts
that will interfere with proper burner operation. The
area around the front and bottom of the Miraclean®
Griddle must be kept clear and unobstructed. In the
U.S.A. the ventilation systems must conform to the
ANSI/NFPA96 latest edition. “A minimum of 18"
(457mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet
and the lower edge of the grease filters.” It is the
responsibility of the owner and the local installer to
comply with national and local codes.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B49.1 or the Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Keating equipment is
designed and manufactured to operate only on the type
of gas specified by the user and indicated on the serial
plate located on the front panel. The gas may be
natural, propane or manufactured. The type of gas can-
not be converted to another gas fuel by turning or
engaging a switch.

GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZE
The Miraclean®Griddle requires a standard gas pipe
size of 3/4 inch (19mm) I.D. connection. The size of the
gas supply pipe is very important if the pipe is too small
you will have low gas pressure at the Miraclean®
Griddle manifold. Low gas pressure will cause slow
recovery and/or delayed ignition. If you have a question
about gas pipe size call your local gas company.
Before connecting new pipe to the Miraclean®Griddle
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign parti-
cles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded joints
of appliance piping shall be resistant to the action of
liquified petroleum gases. When using pipe joint com-
pound do not apply to the first two threads. Use only
very small amount and only on male threads. This will
prevent clogging of burner orifices and the gas valve.
Never use compound on female threads as it might be
pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
1) The Miraclean®Griddle and its individual shut off
valves must be disconnected from the gas supply pip-
ing system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45kPa) (13.84
in WC) High pressure can damage the gas valve caus-
ing a hazardous condition.
2.) The appliance must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.45 kPa).
The required gas pressure for proper
operation of each Miraclean®Griddle
is 4" water column for natural gas and 10" water col-
umn for propane gas at the manifold.
If more than one gas unit is on the same supply line,
you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas
company to assure adequate volume and pressure.
Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirement for your
particular model.
FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTORS AND QUICK DIS-
CONNECT DEVICES
For an appliance equipped with casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or the Standard for
Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-
1.16, and a quick disconnect device that complies with
the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use
With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or the Standard for Quick
Disconnect devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9.
RESTRAINING DEVICES
Adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector
and the quick-disconnect device or its
associated piping to limit the appli-
ance movement.
Griddle installation on stands with
caster, casters and jam nuts must be
completely tightened.
The restraint means must be attached
to the rear of the Miraclean®Griddle within 2" of the
center line and approximately 1-5/8" from the bottom of
the cabinet back to allow the restraining bolt to be
anchored to the cabinet back between the cabinet bot-
tom and inner liner to ensure positive support to
restrain Miraclean®Griddle movement and not depend
on the flexible gas connector, quick-disconnect or pip-
ing to limit the Miraclean®Griddle movement.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, it must be
reconnected when the Miraclean®Griddle is returned to
its originally installed position.
LEVELING
The Miraclean®Griddle will operate at its highest effi-
ciency when properly leveled. Place a level on the
Miraclean®Griddle plate from side to side. For griddles
on legs, the bottom foot of the leg is adjustable. Turn
counterclockwise to decrease height, or clockwise to
increase height until level. For griddles on stands with
casters, the casters are adjustable by loosening the
jam nut. When the desired level is reached, tighten the
jam nut. Adjustments of more than 3/4" are not recom-
mended on any caster. The same procedure should be
followed to level the Miraclean®Griddle from front to
back.

COOKING WITH YOUR
MIRACLEAN®GRIDDLE
You will find that your new Miraclean®Griddle has
superb heat transfer. The polished trivalent chrome fin-
ish of the Miraclean®reduces the emission of radiant
heat. Radiant heat is measured by emissivity. The radi-
ant heat of a perfect black body has an emissivity of 1.
The radiant heat of a conventionally seasoned Griddle
plate is approximately .87. The radiant heat of the
Miraclean®has an emissivity of .078.
You can prove this to yourself by holding your hand
approximately 1/2" above the Miraclean®Griddle plate.
At this distance it is difficult to tell whether the Griddle
plate is hot or not. It feels as though the Griddle plate is
barely warm, but if you touch the plate, it will burn you.
The polished trivalent chrome finish on the Miraclean®
Griddle plate is a wonderful insulator. It prevents the
radiant heat from leaving the griddle plate. It transfers
conducted heat to the food being cooked more rapidly
than other griddle plates, because the food is placed
directly on the metal surface. It is the understanding of
this rapid heat transfer that permits the practical and
beneficial use of the Miraclean®Griddle.
The Miraclean®Griddle finds an application in all sorts of
griddle work, from cooking wheat cakes to scrambling
eggs. We use these two products as illustrations
because generally wheat cakes are cooked on a hot
griddle. Eggs must be scrambled on a relatively cold
griddle. Between these two extremes fall dozens of grid-
dled items- everything from grilled frankfurters, grilled
Italian sausage, grilled sausage patties, the entire range
of steaks and chops and chicken and fish.
It is necessary to understand that the carmelization of
the meat products being cooked takes place at a higher
rate and at a lower griddle surface temperature because
of the improved heat transfer of the
Miraclean®Griddle.
Eggs can not only be scrambled, but can
be fried in any fashion. If the eggs are to
be basted it is necessary to have a metal
cover, and to spill or splash a small amount of water
under the cover so that the steam will baste the top of
the eggs. Eggs require a very low temperature because
generally you do not want the eggs to
be browned on the bottom where they
come in contact with the griddle plate.
Approximately 250°F is ideal for
scrambling or frying eggs.
There are several griddle tools. A
hamburger spatula is like the one pic-
tured here. The hamburger must stick
at least slightly to the griddle to hold its
shape. If it does not stick it shrinks in
diameter, and the center of the meat
becomes thicker. It becomes more of a meat cake than
a hamburger. Therefore, the hamburger spatula has a
strong cutting edge.
An egg spatula is shown in this illustration. An egg
spatula has a long very thin blade so that it can be
slipped under the egg without damaging it or breaking
the yolk. This spatula can also be used for chopping
the scrambled eggs so as they are turned they can be
cooked to perfection without unnecessary browning.
This same spatula is used for omelettes.
Millivolt Safety
Pilot Valve

The Miraclean®Griddle can be kept in
perfect condition by using a razor
blade griddle scraper to remove the
film that is deposited from the products
that have been previously cooked.
Eggs, being cooked at a lower temper-
ature, require substantially no scrap-
ing; but meat and meat products
cooked at a higher temperature, do
require scraping. Pancakes or wheat
cakes which are cooked at a much
higher temperature, do not require that
the Griddle be scraped. It is merely brushed clean with
the spatula.
The important thing about the satisfactory use of the
Miraclean®Griddle is to understand its rapid heat trans-
fer at low temperatures, and to understand how to
maintain the Griddle plate clean and shiny at all times.
If an accumulation builds up on the Miraclean®Griddle,
it is necessary only to wash it with a palmetto pot brush
and cold water. As you pour water on the Griddle and
wash the Griddle with a palmetto brush, it will come
clean and beautiful in but a few seconds. A scraper is
used to completely remove any deposit left from previ-
ous products on the Griddle surface. Polish the Griddle
so it looks new using KEATING Klenzer and a dry cloth.
(See Cleaning Instructions)
COOKING PROCEDURES
MIRACLEAN®Griddles are designed to provide maxi-
mum production efficiency and deliver high quality food
products. Follow cooking procedures below.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and
wait ten minutes for preheat. The operating tem-
perature should be from 10° F to 25° F lower than
conventional griddles – at least start at lower tem-
peratures. You may be able to work the tempera-
ture up as you become accustomed to the more
rapid cooking of the Miraclean®Griddle.
2. Cook as usual, but after each batch scrape the
griddle in the work area completely clean, using
the 4" wide scraper supplied by Keating. (This may
be the only cleaning you will ever need.)
HIGH TEMPERATURE – Since the Miraclean®Griddle
does not radiate heat (for all practical purposes) some-
times people turn the griddle all the way up to 400°F.
Eggs, bacon, hash browns and hamburgers will not
cook on a very hot griddle. Use low temperatures and
work your way up to the proper temperature.
BEST COOKING AREAS ON THE
MIRACLEAN®GRIDDLE
To use the best cooking areas, locate the inverted “V’s”
on the front of the griddle cooking plate. Depending on
your model you may have from one to six thermostats.
The “V’s” indicate where the thermostat sensing bulbs
are located below the plate.
If you 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 sur-
face, you can overheat the griddle plate.

CLEANING THE
MIRACLEAN® GRIDDLE
The surface of the MIRACLEAN®Griddle is very
durable and with proper care, following the procedures
below, will last many years.
A sample of Keating Klenzer, Keating palmetto brush
and a 4" scraper are included with each new griddle.
1. Scrape MIRACLEAN®
surface.
2. Clean your Miraclean®
Griddle while hot at 300°F
to 350°F. Using a plastic
pitcher, pour water ahead
of a palmetto pot brush.
Then scrub the griddle
clean with the pot brush
sweeping the water into
the drain trough.
3. Sprinkle with Keating
Klenzer. Polish with a soft
cloth (towel). It will sparkle
like new in just a few min-
utes. Rinse with potable
water to remove excess
Keating Klenzer. Proper care should be taken to fully
clean the griddle on a regular basis.
CLEANING UTENSILS
Spatulas should be hand washed in
mild to medium strength detergent
and towel dried.
NOTE: Avoid contact with Chlorine or
bleach, it will discolor steel spatula.
Rubbing the spatula with vegetable
oil will slow discoloration.
Rinse scraper and carefully wipe
blade with a dry cloth. Cover blade
with plastic protection cover when
not in use.
Rinse Palmetto brush until clean.
CLEANING CONTROL PANEL
Clean any grease build-up on switches and thermostat
knobs.
NOTE: If grease gets into the working mechanism of
a switch or thermostat, it may cause the unit to fail.
GREASE BUILD-UP NEAR ANY OPEN FLAME IS A
FIRE HAZARD.
CLEANING CABINET
The front, back and sides of the cabinet should be kept
clean for sanitary reasons.
CARE OF THE MIRACLEAN® SURFACE

SCREW - IT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY ON
CONDITIONING THE
MIRACLEAN®GRIDDLE PLATE
The Miraclean®Griddle plate has been “seasoned” at the
factory. The Miraclean®surface when heated creates a thin
layer of chrome oxide which acts as a releasing agent for
food product. You may feel that you need to recondition
your griddle surface.
1. Follow cleaning instructions on page 5.
2. Heat the MIRACLEAN®to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the MIRACLEAN®to
cool to about 350°F, as is evident when griddle cycles on
or surface thermometer indicates correct temperature.
4. Lightly coat the MIRACLEAN®surface with griddle oil.
NOTE: Despite the food releasing properties, the chrome surface is not a true
“non-stick” surface. For best cooking results and product appearance, use grid-
dle oil for products that require the surface to be conditioned.

SERVICE
Servicing should only be performed by qualified &
licensed service companies.
GAS VALVE
REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
Recommended gas pressure at manifold
(4.0" W.C. Natural gas 10.0" W.C. Propane gas)
Adjustment of the gas valve pressure regulator is not
normally necessary since it has been preset at the fac-
tory. During installation, the gas pressure should be
checked at each gas valve with all burners operating.
Adjustment may be accomplished as follows:
This adjustment must be performed by a qualified tech-
nician.
1. Locate the gas valves.
2. With the griddle turned off, connect the monometer
to the pressure tap on the gas valve to be tested.
3. Turn the unit on and take the reading after all the
burners have ignited.
4. Make the necessary adjustments by removing the
screw cap on the pressure regulator cover exposing
the adjustment screw (clockwise will increase the
pressure, counterclockwise will decrease the pres-
sure).
Always check the screw cap on the pressure tap for
leaks after it has been removed and replaced.
GAS VALVE
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Disconnect the griddle from the gas supply.
1. Lower the control panel. Remove the control panel
surround and upper heat shield.
2. Remove the three wires connected to the gas
valve.
3. Disconnect the pilot and burner feed from the front
of the gas valve.
4. Access the pipe union at the rear of the gas valve
either from the front of the griddle or remove the
back of the cabinet and loosen the union.
5. Remove two nuts on the rear of the gas manifold
and pull the gas manifold forward.
6. Remove the gas valve and transfer the pipe and fit-
tings to the new gas valve. Transfer the pressure
tap to the new gas valve.
7. Replace the gas valve by reversing the above
steps.
Always check for leaks at all joints and connections
using a soap solution mixed with water.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS.
Double check the wire connections to the gas valve;
improper connection could damage the gas valve.
ON/OFF SWITCH
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1. Lower the control panel by removing the screws.
2. Disconnect the wires on the switch and remove
switch.
3. Snap the new switch into place and reconnect all
wires.
4. Return the control panel to its normal position.
THERMOSTAT
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1. Lower the control panel by removing the mount-
ing screws.
2. Locate the bulb end of the thermostat and, using
a wrench, loosen the front and rear bolts holding
the thermostat bulb and shield in place.
3. Slide the thermostat bulb assembly towards you
and remove it from under the griddle plate.
4. Remove the knob and the screws from the ther-
mostat dial plate on the control panel.
5. Remove the body of the thermostat.
6. Install the new thermostat in the control panel,
replace the dial plate.
7. Slide the thermostat bulb assembly into the
channel until it reaches the stop.
8. Make sure that the thermostat capillary and bulb
are completely protected by the shield, except for
1” at the tip of the thermostat bulb. (See Note 1).
9. Make sure that the thermostat shield extends to
the front edge of the plate, and that the capillary
goes through the formed end of the shield. (See
Note 2).
10. Make sure that the bolts which hold the thermo-
stat bulb and shield in place do not touch the
thermostat bulb. (See Note 3).
Tighten bolts 1/4 turn past finger tight bulb to be
snug against the bottom of the plate.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS ON THE
THERMOSTAT SHIELD OR THEY WILL
CRUSH THE THERMOSTAT BULB.
11. Close the control panel and replace the panel
mounting screws.
NOTE: IF REPLACING PUSH-ON TERMINAL
STYLE. Before installing thermostat into control
panel, you must unscrew the two brass terminal
screws and install the new ring terminal wire con-
nectors. Prior to connecting these wires, the
existing push-on terminal must be cut off and ring
terminals installed on them. Make sure that the
terminals are secured down.
12. Calibrate the thermostat using an accurate grid-
dle thermometer. Locate the thermometer over
the thermostat bulb (shown by the "Λ" on the
front of the griddle plate) about half way toward
the back of the plate. Calibrate to the cooking
temperature you will be setting on the thermo-
stat.

MILLIVOLT CHECK (FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIANS ONLY)
The millivolt valve is a thermopile self-powered combination gas control. Before checking the millivolt system, the following
operations should be performed and observations made:
1. A genuine Keating millivolt thermostat should be used for millivolt operation.
2. The thermostat leads and all wire connections should be cleaned and tightened to eliminate all unnecessary resistance.
3. If pilot will not remain lit when gas valve knob is released, check automatic pilot.
NOTE: The millivolt system and individual components may be checked with a millivolt meter having a 1-1000MV range.
Conduct each check below by connecting meter test leads to terminals as indicated. All readings are closed circuit.
A. BURNER COIL CHECK
(“A” Reading. Thermostat contacts CLOSED - Gas Valve knob “ON”. Main burner should come ON.)
1. If the reading is more than 100 millivolts and the automatic valve still does not come one, replace the valve.
2. If the closed circuit reading (“A” reading) is less than 100 millivolts, determine cause for low reading and proceed as follows:

B THERMOPILE OUTPUT THTP TP OPEN BETWEEN 325–700mV
CSYSTEM RESISTANCE CHECK THTP TH CLOSED MEASURE LESS THAN 80mV
D AUTOMATIC PILOT DROPOUT THTP TH OPEN BETWEEN 120mV–30mV
THERMOSTAT BULB PLACEMENT DETAIL

B. THERMOPILE OUTPUT CHECK
(“B” Reading. Thermostat contacts OPEN - Main burner
OFF.)
1. Thermopile system - 325 millivolts minimum. If the mini-
mum millivolt reading is not obtainable, readjust ther-
mopile for maximum millivolt output. If millivolt reading is
still below minimum specified, replace thermopile.
C. THERMOSTAT RESISTANCE CHECK
(“C” Reading. Thermostat contacts CLOSED - Gas valve
knob “ON”. Main burner should be ON.)
1. If the “C” reading is above 80 millivolts, the resistance in
the system is excessive and must be reduced. To correct:
a. Clean and tighten thermostat leads and connections.
b. Shorten or replace thermostat lead wires.
c. Cycle thermostat rapidly (manually turn dial) to clean
contacts.
D. AUTOMATIC PILOT DROPOUT CHECK
1. Hold gas valve knob depressed in pilot position until max-
imum output is observed. Then extinguish pilot and
observe meter.
2. Dropout of automatic pilot magnet (sound should be audi-
ble) should occur between 120 millivolts and 30 millivolts. If
dropout occurs outside these limits, change the valve.
MILLIVOLT CONTROL VALVE
To check Resistance of the gas valve, connect one wire
to the valve as shown.
1. Resistance between the THTP & TH terminals
must be 11.5⍀±0.2⍀
2. Resistance between the THTP & TP terminals
must be 10.0⍀±0.2⍀
If resistance is outside of specifications listed, the gas
valve must be replaced.
BEFORE REPLACING THERMOPILE CHECK
MILLIVOLT READINGS
THERMOPILE READINGS
With all wires connected, with the pilot on and burners
off, the thermopile reading at the TP&THTP terminals
should be ~325mv. With the burners on, the millvolt
reading should be ~200mv.
WARNING AND OPERATING PLATES
All warning and operating plates on the Keating MIRA-
CLEAN®Griddle should be in place at all times. If
plates are damaged or lost, replace them immediately.
