GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
With all the large holes cut out, the smaller control panels drilled, and the stiffening angle welded into place
thefixture isnow readyto receivethe griddle.
1. The manufacturerfurnishes agasket or seal that must be placed aroundthe perimeter of the holein
the top as shown in Fig. 4.This gasket may be temporarily held in place with tape.Do not place the
staplesecuring thegasket ends onor neara corner.
2. A number of clamps, such as the one shown in Fig. 4, appear at intervals along the perimeter. Pull
clampsoutward sothe griddle frameclears themwhen itis droppedinto place.

capillaries are not kinkedor pinched when setting the griddle in place. With the griddle in place, the
gasketor sealbecomes compressed.See Fig. 5.
4. Slide the clamp inward so it engages the upper part of the protruding angle from the griddle frame.
See Fig. 6. Slide the clamp sideways so the notch on it locks against the reinforcement angle. This
preventsthe clampfrom sliding out.
5. Tightenthe clamp screws against the angle as shown in Figure 6.This tightening forces the clamps
to pressdown on the griddle body frame extension. The griddletop is nowdrawn close tothe fixture
top, compressing the gasket and forming an effective grease guard. Tighten at least one screw on
eachside beforetightening allscrews. Do not exceed 60in/lb torquewhen tighteningbolts.
6. Slide the tray slide (grease drawer receptacle) through the cutout hole on the apron or front of the
fixture,resting iton thetwo "U"braces.
7. Mount the thermostats to the control panel and make the pilot light connections per the
accompanying wire diagram. Before making any electrical connections, check nameplate voltage
(locatedon trayslide undergrease drawer)to ensure itmatches voltagebeing applied.
8. Setthe controlpanel inplace and screwit tothe apronusing the½ inchlong threadformingscrews.
9. Pullthe trayslide againstthe backof thecontrol panel andsecure itwith theappropriatescrews.

OWNER'S INFORMATION
Cleaning the GriddleAfter Uncrating:
Before using for the first time, be sure to remove the factory-applied rust preventative compound.
Add a mild detergent to hot water and wash the griddle well. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and
wipedry.
The Controls:
Turning the dial knob (recessed in the front control panel) controls the heat of the griddle surface.
Whenat leastone controlis turnedon, asignal lightin theupper left-handcornerof thecontrol panel
will glow continuously. Thus,the operatorknows at a glance whetheror not the griddle isenergized.
Separate signal light cycles with each control. Whenever the thermostat calls for heat, the signal
light associated with it will be on. Each thermostat controls twelve inches of griddle surface width.
Thermostattemperature range is200°- 450°F+/- 10°F.
Seasoning the Griddle Surface:
After thorough cleaning, the griddle is ready for seasoning. Preheat to 400°F. When the dialed
temperature is reached asindicated by thesignal lightsgoing off,spread a lightfilm of cookingoil or
fat overthe entire surface of thegriddle. In two minutes, wipethe griddle clean of excessoil. Repeat
thisoperation. Thegriddle is now ready foruse.
Operating Instructions:
1. Preheat griddle (preheat time, 77°F - 350°F, approximately 8 minutes). Set the thermostat dials at
the correct griddlingtemperature for the food to be cooked. A red light will flash on automatically for
each section of the griddle when the dial is set and will flash off when the section has reached the
dialed temperature. (The signal light will flash on and off during the cooking operation to show that
correcttemperature isbeing maintained.)Youare nowready to loadthe griddle.
