SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the
box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on the
bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the
person making the delivery. File claim for damages
immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES

notify the transportation company or carrier
immediately and file a concealed damage claim with
them. This should be done within (5) days of the
delivery date. Be sure to hold on to the box/carton

IMPORTANT NOTES
BE MINDFUL OF WIND
DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider
important factors such as exposure to the wind and
foot traffic paerns. Position your Griddle so the
prevailing wind blows into the front control panel
(at your back when operating), allowing for proper
front to rear airflow. Griddles located in areas with
prevailing winds should be protected by a wind
barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. The Griddle
is designed to pull in air from the front and exhaust
through the rear of the unit. Winds hiing the back of
the Griddle directly may cause problems.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow
or “t” fiing added. This drop in pressure affects
Griddle performance.
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS
CRITICAL. A GRIDDLE THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL
WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION
AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE
GRIDDLE SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME
WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such as (but
not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust
could damage or permanently discolor stainless
steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals including
chlorine and pool cleaning products away from
stainless steel at all times.
