Legs are shipped with unit in a plastic bag. To install the legs, tilt back and screw in the two front legs. Mount the rear legs by tilting unit forward.

Place baffle plates on frame and position over locating studs as illustrated in exploded view.

Griddle plate will be properly located when adjusting screws fall into the recesses provided in the plate. Turn adjusting screws (8) so that the left
hand side of the griddle plate is slightly higher than the right hand side which will enable the excess grease to drain off toward the grease can. A
minimum space of a least 5/8" between the griddle plate and the frame should be maintained to insure proper operation of the broiler-griddle.
Place grease can in groove provided for directly under grease trough in griddle plate.

Place food rack in lift rack runners and insert stop pins (30) in holes located in runners.

INSTALLATION NOTE: THIS INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1 latest

Unit should be used in a non-combustible location.

NOTE: Use a pipe compound on all threaded joints resistant to propane gas.
CAUTION

Before connecting to gas supply line, check specification label for correct gas. A 3/4" gas connection is provided at the rear of the unit. A manual
shut-off valve should be installed between the gas supply line and the broiler. Check for gas leaks with soap solution before lighting.

LIGHTING AND ADJUSTMENTS

Before turning on main gas supply, burner valves should be in the "OFF" (horizontal) position. Turn on gas supply and light the two standing pilots
(9) visible from inside the broiling section as shown in the drawing on page (6). Length of pilot flame should be approximately ½” long for proper
ignition of burner.

edition.

Two holes in front frame are provided through which the pilot flames may be adjusted by turning the screw

(10)

in the pilot valve as

indicated in drawing on page (6). Burner valve may now be turned to the "ON" position and burners should ignite. Proper flame
adjustment of burners is obtained by opening or closing of primary air shutters just below where yellow tipping of flames disappear.

An access door for each burner is located at the lower front of each inside panel (see drawing). Once the door is swung up the
burner can be adjusted by loosening the screw at the bottom of the burner venturi and rotating the primary air shutter until the
yellow tips of the flame disappear. Retighten the screw and close the access door.

SHUT DOWN - FOR COMPLETE SHUTDOWN, TURN MAIN GAS VALVE TO "OFF".

NOTE: These instructions are for initial lighting only. For normal operation of unit, following lighting instructions on front panel.

OPERATION

Turn burner valves to "ON" position and wait approximately 20 minutes for griddle to reach operating temperature. Food may be placed on
griddle or broiler rack and rack adjusted to desired position by lifting handle on right side of unit. For Stand-By periods and adjustment of
griddle temperature, turn valve handles between the "ON" and "OFF" positions.

MAINTENANCE

Very little maintenance is required on this unit. Air shutters should be cleaned of lint and dirt periodically. After longer periods, burners
and pilots should be cleaned for proper ignition and burner flame efficiency. If sticky valves become a problem, they should be
disassembled and lubricated with the proper lubricant by a qualified serviceman.

PREPARING GRIDDLE

The griddle surface is protected with a petroleum jelly. To remove this coating, light the burners and wait approximately 5 minutes
for the griddle to heat up, wet the entire griddle surface with clear water and add some griddle cleaner to the water. Let the cleaner
work a few minutes, then wipe the cooking surface dry. Apply a light cooking oil or shortening on the griddle plate.

Your griddle is now ready for normal operation.
A grease trough is provided at the right of the griddle with a drain chute which empties into a grease can. Loosen the soil on the

griddle plate and sweep it into the chute. Do not tap the edge of the spatula on the griddle plate, as this will mar the finish of the
polished surface and perhaps cause the food to stick when cooking.

CLEANING

Keep the griddle clean by washing and using griddle cleaners available from your dealer. Do not attempt to use any steel wool or
abrasives which will imbed in the plate. If these simple instructions are followed, your griddle will give you years of service.

Air shutters should be cleaned of lint and dirt periodically.
Contact a factory representative or a local service company if major repairs or maintenance is required.

FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONS ONLY

After long periods of usage, burners and pilots should be cleaned for proper ignition and burner flame efficiency.

1. Shut off all gas to the broiler griddle.

2. Remove griddle plate and baffles.

3. Lift burners from hanger brackets and off burner valves.

4. Wire brush and clean burners, nichrome mesh and venturi of carbon deposits.

5. Lubricate gas valves with high temperature valve grease.

6. Replace burners and assemble parts in reverse order of removal.

7. Follow lighting instructions, light and adjust flames for proper combustion and burner efficiency.
