hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Thermostats do not have to be turned off to turn off your griddle. The ON/OFF toggle switch allows the
thermostats to remain set at your cooking temperature when the griddle is OFF. When the main switch is
ON the griddle automatically heats to your pre-set cooking temperature.
Red indicator lights next to the thermostats are ON when the burners are in operation. When the set
temperature is reached, the light will go OFF.

E. LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

All griddles are equipped with adjustable legs to provide a means for proper leveling during installation. The
griddle can be leveled by turning the bottom of the legs until the desired position is achieved. After leveling,
the manifold should then be connected to the gas line.

B. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

For complete shutdown turn all thermostats, toggle switch (model XSG ONLY) and main gas valve to OFF
position.

EQUIPMENT PREPARATION

The griddle is shipped with protective coatings of
oil and/or grease. Remove the griddle plate
coating with a commercial de-greaser just prior to
its first cooking use. After a thorough cleaning,
apply a high temperature, salt free frying oil and
your unit is ready to use. If the griddle is to be shut
down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of
clean grease back over the griddle plate.

Wipe the remaining cabinet parts down with a hot,
wet cloth to remove any shipping dust and
protective oil. Remove anything that may be in the
grease drawer.

CAUTION: Care must be exercised not to overheat the griddle plate on initial start-up by
setting the controls above normal operating temperature. Overheating may cause the

!

plate to warp and will carbonize the grease (this will cause sticking).
