Keep appliance area free and clear of combustibles.
Commercial chain restaurants impose strict food procedures
on franchise owners and operators to guarantee the quality
and consistency of the product. Beef burgers, hamburgers,
french fries, onion rings, fried chicken and tortillas for
example, must meet rigid standards of quality involving the
ingredients used, the recipes followed, storage and, not least,
the cooking temperature and time of cooking.
Accuracy of temperature control and the heating stability of
the cooking surface are essential in maintaining consistent
quality in the product. Control and stability are the two
primary features in the new chain griddle. As compared with
previous gas griddles of the same kind, temperature control
of heating zones in the chain griddle is far tighter and more
precise.
Two features provide precision control. One feature is a
burner for every foot of griddle surface. The other is that each
burner is electronically monitored for temperature control.
As a result, at 30,000 BTU using natural gas, there is excellent
energy management and power recovery.
Temperature sensors are embedded in the griddle plate.
Each sensor is close to the plate surface where the load
is. The e ect of this arrangement is to achieve an even
temperature gradient across the plate. Thanks to the
electronic monitoring feature, a much faster response to
changes in surface temperature is achievable in the chain
griddle than in previous units.
The smoother temperature gradient per unit surface area
and accurate temperature control has made the chain
griddle an instant success. This simple explanation of the two
main features of the unit is what makes it so special. Without
fast response and a smooth gradient, the chain griddle
would be just another design among many.
Explaining why the unit is special is one thing and
understanding how it works in another. Service technicians
need to know this to have complete con dence when
servicing the unit. We describe how it works in the next part
of this section.

How Does it work?
When the main power switch is turned on, the power
indicating lamp is illuminated and power is applied to the
thermostat input of the ignition modules. This will initiate
the pilot ignition sequence. The ignition module supplies a
spark ignition at the pilot burner and will energize the pilot
solenoid valve for a maximum trail period of 50 seconds.
If the pilot ame ignites and is sensed within the 50 second
period, the main burner output of the ignition module will
be energized. The pilot indicating lamp will illuminate. The
main burner solenoid valves are then controlled by the
thermostats. As a thermostat calls for heat, it will energize
its output and the main burner valve along with the burner
indicating lamp will energize. The main burner will cycle with
the thermostat.
There is only one trial for ignition. If the pilot ame is not
sensed during the trail period, the ignition module will lock
out. All ignition module outputs will be de-energized. To reset
the ignition module the main power switch must be turned
o for a period of 30 seconds.
During normal operation, the pilot ame is continually
monitored. The ame current signal must maintain 0.15
microamps minimum. Flame failure response time is 0.8
seconds maximum. If at any time the ignition module does
not detect a pilot ame, it will repeat the ignition process by
allowing a 50 second trial of ignition.
Figure 2 illustrates this sequence of operation.
INSTALLATION
The instructions given for installation form part of the
delivery package. Anyone installing a chain griddle should
follow a strict procedure to make sure installation and
commission are safe, e cient and complies with the
applicable local codes. Here is a check list of things to do in
the order we recommend.
Mechanical
• Uncrate and check for shipping damage both obvious
and hidden. Write a damage report and report
immediately to the carrier.
• Check the serial plate behind the front panel. To do this,
remove the front panel by unscrewing the two screws in
the upper right and left corners. Next unscrew the two
fasteners securing the hinged lower font panel in place.
Note the burner inputs shown on the serial number
plate. It may be necessary to refer to these later. You also
need to be certain of the type of gas to which the unit
is connected. The serial plate also speci es the type of
gas required for the unit. Also, check that the electrical
connections are in good order.
NOTE : The chain griddle is certi ed for installation on a
combustible base with minimum clearance of 6” (152mm)
back and 6” (152mm) sides from combustible walls.

CAUTION : Check the pipe capacity tables given in the
installation code. When a long supply pipe run is necessary,
you may have to install a supply line lager than 3/4”
• Have a quali ed gas technician check the gas supply to
make sure it will deliver the BTUs of gas the unit requires
to operate with no more than 1/2” water pressure
drop. Also when making this check be certain that all
equipment on the gas line is turned to the ON position.
• If you are installing the unit using a new gas installation,
make sure the supply lines have been cleaned and
purged of piping compound, chips and other debris.
WARNING : Use soap solution if you have to check the gas
lines for leaks.
• Place and install the unit on the legs or caters provided,
and make sure there is a minimum of 4” (102mm) air
space below the unit for adequate air ow to the burners.
CAUTION: Check for obstructions or objects that could
restrict the air ow to the burners.
• Using a spirit level variously across the front, rear and sides
of the unit, level it by adjusting the leveling legs.

Gas Supply
• Every unit is tted with a readily accessible shut-o valve
at the main manifold. Use a minimum of 3/4” NPT pipe to
connect the incoming gas supply.
NOTE : For e cient operation, the griddle plate must be
level.
