EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
Exterior Construction
The griddle dimensions are 17” (43.18cm) High, 30” (76.20cm) Deep, and width is dependent on the
actual model number.
The Sides, Bottom, and Rear wall are constructed of double wall stainless steel, which allows closer
installation to combustible surfaces.
The griddle surface is made of 1” thick, highly polished steel to reduce hot and cold spots, recovery
problems, warping, and ensure even heat to the edges of the griddle.
Controls
Each twelve-inch section has its own temperature selector switch that snaps into place to lock in any
temperature from 175°F to 450°F (79°C to 232°C) in 25° increments.
Each twelve-inch section of the griddle is controlled by an area sensitive RTD probe, which can sense
and react to a temperature change of +/- 4°F.
Each twelve-inch section has a set of 6 K.W. elements for high efciency, quick recovery and outstanding
performance
Technical
The 100 Series Selectronic griddle operates on either 208/240V or 480V, at either single or three phase.
Thismustbespeciedwhenordering.
Minimum clearances: 2” from side and back
NOTICE The data plate is on the right side of the griddle. The oven voltage,
wattage,serialnumber,wiresize,andclearancespecicationsare
on the data plate. This information should be carefully read and
understood before proceeding with the installation.

UNPACKING
Receiving the Griddle
Upon receipt, check for freight damage, both visible and concealed.
Visible damage should be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery and
signed by the carrier’s agent. Concealed loss or damage means it does not
become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. If concealed
loss or damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent within 15 days of delivery. All packing
material should be kept for inspection. Do not return damaged
merchandise to Star Manufacturing Company. File your claim with the
carrier.
Location
Prior to un-crating, move the oven as near to its intended location as practical. The crating will help
protect the unit from the physical damage normally associated with moving it through hallways and
doorways.
Un-crating
The griddle will arrive completely assembled inside a wood frame and strapped to a skid. Cut the
straps and remove the wood frame.
The oven can now be removed from the skid.
THE UNIT IS EXTREMELY HEAVY. FOR SAFE HANDLING, INSTALLER
SHOULD OBTAIN HELP AS NEEDED, OR EMPLOY APPROPRIATE MATERIALS
HANDLING EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS A FORKLIFT, DOLLY, OR PALLET JACK)
TO REMOVE THE UNIT FROM THE SKID AND MOVE IT TO THE PLACE OF
INSTALLATION.
ANY STAND, COUNTER OR OTHER DEVICE ON WHICH OVEN WILL BE
LOCATED MUST BE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE GRIDDLE.
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.

INSTALLATION cont.
Ventilation and Clearances
Standard minimum clearance from combustible construction is as follows.
2” from side
2” from back
These griddles may be set directly, without legs, on a curbed base or non-combustible surface.
If the griddle is set without legs on a non-combustible oor or a curbed base, maintain a 4-inch
back clearance.
Do not install the griddle directly against a non-combustible back wall or surface.
Do not install the griddle closer than 12 inches from an uncontrolled heat source (char broiler etc.).
Keep the appliance area free and clear of combustible material and do not obstruct the ow of
combustion or ventilation air.
Electrical Connection
There is one power supply connection on the 2, 3, and 4-foot griddles. There are two power
supply connections on 5 and 6-foot griddles. Refer to the power supply chart in the Technical
Data portion of this manual, for proper power supply size.
There is (1) one 1 1/4-inch conduit knockout on 2, 3 and 4-foot griddles located at the rear of the
griddle, through the back and the bottom of the griddle body. There are (2) two 1 1/4-inch conduit
knockouts provided on the 5 and 6-foot griddles. Use a supply wire suitable for at least 90 degree
centigrade.
This Selectronic griddle is shipped from the factory, wired for 208/240 or 480 volts, the 208/240
griddle is a dual voltage design. Jumper wires on terminal strip next to the main power supply
connection determine the griddle voltage. For a 208-volt power supply, leave the jumpers in place.
For a 240-volt power supply disconnect the jumpers as indicated on the tag on the terminal strip.
The 480-volt griddle can be operated on 480 volts only and must be specied when ordering.
Technical Data
Phasing
All griddles are shipped from the
factory set up for a three-phase
service. Rearrange the wires in
the power supply terminal block to
convert the griddle to single phase.
Re-phasing the griddle is not
chargeable to Lang Manufacturing
Company as warranty. To convert
to single-phase have a Lang
Authorized Service Agent, follow
this chart.

INITIAL START UP
Pre-Power On
Before starting the griddle for the rst time, clean the griddle body and cooking surface.
Use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with clear water and dry.
Power On
Set the main power switch, located at the far left of the control panel, to the “ON” (up) position
(there are two “ON” switches on 5 and 6 foot griddles).
Set each cooking section’s power switch, located next to each temperature dial, to the “ON” (up)
position.
Set the temperature dials to 200°F.
Heat the griddle at 200°F (93°C) for 2 hours to evaporate any moisture that may be in the elements.
After 2 hours at 200°F (93°C), turn the temperature up to 350°F (176°C) for ½ hour.
After the griddle reaches 350°F (176°C) for ½ hour, turn the griddle up another 50°F (10°C) for another
½ hour and repeat this until it is at 450°F (232°C) for ½ hour.
The unit may emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surface passes the 300°F (148°C) point.
Do not be alarmed as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing process and will
stop when the griddle reaches 350°F (176°C).
Seasoning Cooking Surface (Non-Chrome Only)
The cooking surface must be “seasoned” in order to eliminate product sticking during cooking.
To season, heat the griddle to 250°F (121°C).
Once at 250°F (121°C), coat the cooking surface with non-salted vegetable oil.
Allow the griddle to stand at 250°F (121°C) until the cooking surface looks dry then coat it again.
Heat the griddle to 350°F (176°C) and repeat the procedure.
NOTICE: Duringtherstfewhoursofoperationyoumaynoticeasmall
amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a faint odor from the
smoke. This is normal for a new griddle and will disappear after the
rstfewhoursofuse.
