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 Lang Manufacturing Company.
File your claim with the carrier.
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.
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.
CAUTION: THE GRIDDLE 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.
CAUTION: ANY STAND, COUNTER OR OTHER DEVICE ON WHICH
GRIDDLE WILL BE LOCATED MUST BE DESIGNED TO
SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE GRIDDLE.
CAUTION: SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION AND CAN
SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.
Remove griddle from skid and place in intended location.
Cabinet Preparation
Cabinet Base must be constructed of non-combustible material.
Cabinet Base must have cross air ventilation. It does not matter if it is on the ends
or sides.
If vents are not installed, the controls may overheat rendering the griddle
inoperative.
For best results provide a knockout for the control panel a minimum of 12-inches
away from the element boxes on the griddle.

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 on top of the control box. The

recognized installation standards.
Installing Griddle into Cabinet
Turn the griddle over, taking care not to kink the thermostat capillary tubes.
Set the griddle on the table that it is to be installed in (leaving a hole big enough to
slip the control panel through).
Insert the control panel through the hole and out the control opening of the cabinet.
The hole must be a minimum of 12” from the griddle and such that the control box
can come out of the cabinet 18” for serviceability.
Lower the griddle plate to sit flat in the table opening.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection must be made in accordance with local codes or in the
absence of local codes with NFPA No. 70 latest edition (in Canada use: CSA
STD. C22.1).
A power connection box is provided for power connection.
This box must be installed a minimum of 18 inches away from the heating elements
in the cabinet box.
All electrical connections can be made at this box.
The range can now be connected to power.

INITIAL START UP
Prior to putting any griddle into full time operation at normal cooking
temperatures, it must be thoroughly "seasoned" or dried out. Moisture absorption
in the closed spaces, in the insulation and even inside the heating elements can
cause future trouble if not properly treated.
Before seasoning the griddle it is first necessary to remove the shipping
preservative from the griddle surface. To do this set add a mild detergent to hot
water and wash the griddle plate. Rinse with a damp sponge and dry with a clean
rag.
To "season" the griddle, set the thermostat dial to 300°. Allow unit to cycle once.
Apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted vegetable oil to the griddle surface.
Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a towel. Re-
coat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off any excess oil.
Repeat these steps at 350°, 400°, 450°, 500°, and 550°.
NOTICE: During the first 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 first few hours of
use.

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.
The griddle is provided with two thermostats for controlling the middle two feet of
the griddle surface. The outside one-foot of the griddle is not directly heated.
All cooking should be done on the middle three feet of the griddle surface. All
holding should be done on outside one foot of the griddle.
The thermostats are provided with indicator lights that will go off when the griddle
section reaches the set temperature.
Turn the thermostat dials to the desired cooking temperature and allow the indicator
to cycle on and off a minimum of three times before beginning to cook.
If the product is loaded directly over the griddle thermostat the elements will react
much quicker and the unit will heat up faster. If the product is loaded to the sides
of the griddle thermostat then the reaction time for the elements to come on will be
slightly delayed.
Turn the thermostat dial to the off position at the end of the shift.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning
WARNING: KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF
CONTROLS. NEVER SPRAY OR HOSE
CONTROL CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS, ETC.
CAUTION: MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN,
EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING.
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO WEAR
RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ THE
WARNING AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE
LABEL OF THE CLEANER TO BE USED.
The griddle should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week in addition to the
normal daily cleaning to insure against the accumulation of foreign material.
NOTICE: Any cleaner used should be marked: “SAFE ON
ALUMINUM”.
Electric equipment is inherently clean and sanitary, but may become unsanitary if
dirt is allowed to accumulate on it. Take advantage of the clean, sanitary features
of electric equipment, give it the regular attention that it deserves the same as any
other highly perfected machinery, to insure best results and continued high
operating efficiency.
CALIBRATION
Calibration Check
!Place thermometer or thermocouple in the center of griddle.
!Set thermostat to 350°F.
!Allow the griddle to Preheat for at least half an hour.
!Note cycle on temperatures and cycle off temperatures for 3 cycles. (Red indicator
light indicates when oven is calling for heat)
!After 3 cycles average the temperature. ( Add all six temperatures and divide by 6)
Calibration Adjustment
!A 1/16” flat blade screwdriver with a 2” shaft is required to make adjustments on
the thermostat.
!Maintain the oven temperature at 350°.
!Without turning the thermostat, remove the knob.
!Locate the adjustment screw at the base of the shaft and insert the screwdriver.
!Grasp the shaft and turn the screwdriver. Counter clockwise to increase and
clockwise to decrease (1/8 of a turn will move the temperature 5-7 °in either
direction).
!Reinstall the oven knob and recheck the oven temperature.
