Carefully lift unit out of shipping container, and inspect
immediately for shipping damage. Your Gas Griddle /
Cheesemelter was shipped in a carton designed to give
it maximum protection. It was thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. File any claims for shipping
damage or irregularities directly with the carrier.

Installation

Component Assembly

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. Level unit after
final installation. Height may be adjusted by turning the
feet up or down as desired.

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 broiler­griddle. Place grease can in groove provided for directly
under grease trough in griddle plate.

Place food rack in side rails according to the height
desired.

Clearances

Distance required between combustible and non­combustible material: 6” rear and 8” sides.

Air Supply and Ventilation

Adequate ventilation and air supply must be provided
in order for the griddle / cheesemelter to operate
properly and efficiently. The area in front and above the
griddle / cheesemelter must be clear to avoid any
obstruction of flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not connect the griddle / cheesemelter flue directly
to a building exhaust system or place the flue directly
into the plenum of an exhaust hood as it will adversely
affect the gas combustion of the unit.

Gas Connection

Before connecting griddle / cheesemelter to gas line,
check the rating label to verify that the gas type called
for on label coincides with the type available on site.
The unit comes equipped with a 3/4” NPT Gas pressure
regulator - set for either 4” W.C. (for natural gas) or 10”

W.C. (for L.P.) which must be installed directly to the
3/4” NPT gas manifold pipe protruding from the rear of
the base. When installing the regulator ensure that the
direction of the gas flow matches the direction of the
arrow on the regulator body (the arrow must point
towards the griddle / cheesemelter pipe). An accessible
manual shut-off valve must be installed in gas supply
line ahead of the unit. The size of the supply pipe must
be sized to accommodate all of the gas-fired equipment
that may be connected to the gas supply. Check with
your local gas company as to the proper size. Only pipe
sealant resistant to the action of L.P. gas should be used
on pipe joint. Before attempting to light the griddle /
cheesemelter, check all joints for leaks using a soap and
water solution.

Initial Lighting Instructions

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

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.

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 valves 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. When proper burner flame is
obtained, unit is ready for operation.

MAIN GAS VALVE TO "OFF".
