II INSTALLATION
This Top-SideTM Cooker MUST be installed on a

warranty.
The Top-Side™ Cooker must be installed, inspected,
calibrated and serviced by qualified, certified and/or
licensed service personnel. Contact your dealer for
assistance.
DAMAGE DURING
SHIPMENT
The Top-SideTM Cooker has been assembled, tested
and inspected at the factory. Upon arrival, the complete
Top-SideTM Cooker should be thoroughly checked for
any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
What to do if equipment arrives damaged:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE- Be certain to note this
on the freight or express receipt and have it signed by
the delivery person.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY-
Regardless of extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE- If the damage is
noticed when the equipment is unpacked, notify the
freight company immediately, and file a “concealed
damage claim”. This MUST be done immediately. Be
sure to retain the shipping container for inspection.
Keating does not assume responsibility for loss OR
damage incurred in transit.
INSTALLATION
On new installations, your Top-Side™ Cooker has
already been factory installed, tested leveled and
inspected. When installing onto an existing
MIRACLEAN® griddle, use the specific instructions
included with the Top-Side™ Cooker.

Each Keating Top-SideTM Cooking head is equipped
with a 9' (2.74m) neoprene covered, 12 gauge 4mm(2),

provided. Each cooking head is rated 4000W, 18 amps,
single phase at 220 Volts (4.37kW, 19 amps, single
phase at 230 Volts) and is designed to be connected to
its own 208-240V single phase electrical supply. For
proper connecting and grounding procedure see local
codes, the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition) or Canadian Electrical Code CAN C22.1
(latest edition) as applicable.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
III OPERATING
CAUTION
Food will cook much faster with a Top-SideTM Cooker
than with a griddle alone. Watch food while cooking or
use timers to ensure food will not be overcooked.
WARNING
OPERATION OF THE TOP-SIDETM COOKER
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO PERSONNEL
THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OPERATING
PROCEDURES.
COOKING
1. Turn ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.
2. Set thermostat to desired temperature. Red
“ELEMENT ON” light will illuminate when the
element is on.

NOTE: The green “Power On” light will be illuminated
as long as there is power to the Top-SideTM Cooker.
COOKING HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Keating’s Top-SideTM Cooker has been designed to
allow you infinite height adjustments from 1/8'' to 11/2 ''
(approximately 3mm to 38mm). An adjusting knob
allows fast and precise height adjustment.
Clockwise movement of the knob will increase the
spacing; counter clockwise movement will decrease
the spacing. Each turn of the adjusting knob represents
1/8'' (approximately 3mm) movement.
Experimentation will give you the best cooking height
for each type of food product. The cooking head should
contact the product firmly to ensure optimum heat
distribution without flattening the product.
SHUTDOWN
Turn ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position.
CLEANING
PROCEDURES
A. Keating Cooking Sheets
Clean cooking sheets with a damp soft cloth after
