UNPACKING
3.1 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 loss or damage which 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
International. File your claim with the carrier.
3.2 Location
Prior to un-crating, move the griddle as near 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.
3.3 Un-crating
The griddle will arrive completely assembled inside a wood frame covered by
cardboard box and strapped to a skid. Remove the cardboard cover, cut the
straps and remove the wood frame.
Remove griddle from skid and place in intended location.

INSTALLATION
DANGER: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED AT THE
TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE TO GROUND THE
APPLIANCE COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND
DEATH.
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE BY
PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO
PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. UNIT
MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE CODES.
NOTICE: The data plate is located behind the access panel in the
back of the grill. If on a 48” or larger, the data plate is
behind the back left access panel. The griddle voltage,
wattage, serial number, wire size, and clearance
specifications are on the data plate. This information
should be carefully read and understood before
proceeding with the installation.
NOTICE: The installation of any components such as a vent hood,
grease extractors, fire extinguisher systems, must

recognized installation standards.
4.1 Electrical Connection
There is one power supply connection on 2, 3 and 4 foot griddles. There are two
power supply connections on 5 and 6 foot griddles. Refer to the power supply
chart on the next page 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°C.
4.2 Griddle Voltage
This 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 to the terminal strip. The 480 volt griddle can be
operated on 480 volts only.
4.3 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. Rephasing the griddle is not chargeable to Star Manufacturing
International as warranty. To convert to single phase follow the chart located on
the next page.

INITIAL START UP
5.1 Initial Start Up
Before starting the griddle for the first time, clean the griddle body and cooking
surface with a mild soap and water solution then rinse with clear water and dry.
Set the main power switch, located at the far left of the control panel, to the "ON"
(up) position (there are 2 "ON" switches on 5 and 6 foot griddles).
Set the temperature dials to 200°F (93°C) degrees.
Heat the griddle at 200°F (93°C) degrees for 2 hours to evaporate any moisture that
may be in the elements.
After 2 hours at 200°F (93°C) degrees, proceed with "SEASON THE COOKING
SURFACE".
5.2 Season the Grill
The cooking surface must be "seasoned" in order to reduce product sticking.
To season, heat the griddle to 250°F (121°C) degrees.
Once at 250°F (121°C) degrees, coat the cooking surface with a non-salted
vegetable oil.
Allow the griddle to stand at 250°F (121°C) degrees until the cooking surface looks
dry then coat it again.
Heat the griddle to 350°F (176°C) degrees and repeat the procedure.
The griddle may emit a small amount of smoke as the cooking surface passes the
350°F (176°C point. Do not be alarmed as oils associated with the manufacturing
process may cause smoke and will stop when the griddle reaches 350°F (176°C)
degrees.

OPERATION
CAUTION: ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE
FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
CAUTION: KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND
DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO
AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
6.1 Setting the Temperature
If different temperature settings across the same griddle are to be used, select one
side of the griddle and run that at the lowest temperature. Adjoining sections
should be set at progressively higher temperatures. Do not try to run end sections
hot and center sections cool.
6.2 Loading the Grill
An understanding of how the griddle sections are controlled will be a valuable aid
in loading your griddle.
A thermostat independently controls each 12-inch section. Sensors are mounted
under the griddle plate in the center of each cooking section.
If product is loaded directly over the temperature sensor, that section will turn on
and the element will heat the entire cooking section. If the product is loaded to the
side, front or back of the temperature sensor, the controller will react to the
temperature change of the entire section instead of just one product.
During slow periods minimal loads, do not load directly over the temperature
sensors as this will unnecessarily turn the elements on and over heat the reminder
of the section not being utilized.
During busy periods, a systematic approach should be utilized in loading the
griddle. Load the entire section from rear to front and continue cooking to the next
section if necessary.
Turn the product and continue cooking until it has reached its desired degree of
doneness.
Remove the product from the griddle.
When reloading the griddle, first use the griddle surface on which a previous load
was not placed. This will ensure the proper griddle temperature.
