GARLAND ELECTRIC CLAMSHELL GRILL WITH PRODUCT RECOGNITION MODEL MWE3W INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL

SAFETY

THIS GRILL MUST be operated by persons who have been given adequate training.

CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE OPERATED UNDER AN APPROVED HOOD SYSTEM.

DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL UNLESS IT HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED (START-UP) BY A FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

DO NOT operate the grill without reading this operation manual.

DO NOT operate the clamshell grill unless it has been properly installed and grounded. DO NOT operate the clamshell grill

unless all service and access panels are in place and fastened properly.

Means of disconnection, must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with local wiring rules (such as a switch,
fuse, or circuit breaker).

External equipotential bonding conductor provided on rear of appliance. Use as applicable, in accordance with local wiring rules.

The Garland clamshell grill is a semi-automatic cooking appliance. The upper platen is lowered automatically, following the
manual; single-handed initiation of the cooking cycle, and the upper platen is raised automatically upon completion of the
cooking cycle.

When two sided cooking, the area between the upper platen and the griddle plate should be regarded as a “danger zone”.

During two sided cooking the operator must not be within this danger zone. When used as a flat grill, then this area is no
longer a danger zone, the platens do not move.

For whatever reason, be it cleaning, maintenance, normal operation, any exposed person must use extreme caution if within
this danger zone.

In two side cooking the upper platen remains in the lowered position by nature of it’s own weight. It is not locked down. It
can be raised by lifting of the handle on the front of the platen, which pivots the platen about its rear mounting point.

The clamshell grill must only be used for single and two sided cooking of foodstuffs in a McDonald’s store and must not be
used for any other purpose.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury: DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of the clamshell grill unless all
main power supplies to the grill have been disconnected.

USE EXTREME CAUTION in setting up, operating and cleaning the clamshell grill to avoid coming in contact with hot grill
surfaces or hot grease. Suitable protective clothing should be worn to prevent the risk of burns.

WARNING: This appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet. DO NOT apply ice to a HOT grill surface.

NOTE: All warning labels and markings on the grill, which call attention to further dangers and necessary precautions.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, (HCS) - The procedures in this manual include the use of chemical products. These

chemical products will be printed in bold face, followed by the abbreviation (HCS) in the text portion of the procedure. See
the Hazard Communication Standard, (HCS) manual for the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(s), (MSDS).

WARNING: After turning the master power switch to the START position, the grill will go through an initialization process.
If the upper platens are in the lowered position they will return to their raised upper position. This movement takes ap­proximately 8 seconds.

MAINTENANCE - the platen support arms carriage block bearing bushes, the platen adjuster nuts, the platen support (shoulder)
bolt and the cam follower should be checked annually for wear. Should there be any noticeable play in the bearing bushes
and any visible wear on the platen adjuster nuts, platen support bolts or cam follower, then they must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE - the audible alarm that sounds at the end of a cook cycle is to advise the operator that the platen is about
to move. The function of this device may be tested by pushing the left hand CANCEL button. If no sound is heard, ensure
that the alarm volume is not set to low in SYSTEM SETUP. If there is still no sound then a service engineer should be called
out to rectify the fault.

SERVICE AND CLEANING - The grill may be secured in the grill bay by the installer using two anchors that lock onto the front
casters. If the grill is to be moved out of the bay for cleaning or service, remove the anchor from each caster by turning the
knob counterclockwise to loosen the retainer. When the retainer is free of the caster, lay the assembly aside on the floor.

CLEANING - NEVER clean the grill, interior or exterior, using a high-pressure sprayer, water jet, or any other liquid sprayer.

NOTE: If anchors are present, the anchor assembly remains fastened to the back wall of the grill bay. After service or clean-

ing is complete, return the grill to its position in the bay and reattach the anchors by placing the retainer on the caster post
and turning the knob clockwise to tighten.

NOTE: For safety reasons, the grill must be secured in the grill bay in this manner before operation can resume.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The following information is also available on the

McDonalds MRC Card 11A.

Tools: McD Hi-Temp Grill Cleaner (HCS), McD All Purpose

Super Concentrate (HCS), McD’s NOSCRATCH™ Pad and
Pad Holder, a suitable container, High-Temperature Pot
Brush and Grill Cloth, Stainless Steel Pan Filled With
Lukewarm Water, Protective Gloves, (to protect hands from
heat), Grill Squeegee and Grill Scraper.

Warning: The upper platen surface and edges are very
hot! To prevent burn injuries, use extreme caution when
wiping down release sheets and platen edges.

Important: Frequently throughout the day, (at least 4
times per hour), thoroughly wipe down the release sheets
and platen edges with a damp grill cloth.

1. Select Manual mode using the button.

PRESS the OR arrow buttons until “CLEAN MODE”

is displayed, (the control will maintain the proper
cleaning temperature).

Repeat with the other control. “READY TO CLEAN” will
be displayed and an audible alarm will sound when the
grill is at the proper cleaning temperature.

Press the GREEN pushbutton to display “OFF.” The
“OFF” position on the controller allows the operator
to raise and lower the platen, (for clamshell grills), to
alternate positions for cleaning of the platen edges.

2. Empty and replace the grease troughs. Grease troughs
should be emptied and replaced consistent with store
security policy.

3. Put on the protective gloves and wipe down the
exposed surface of the release sheet with a damp
grill cloth.

4. Remove the release sheet locking clips and bars. Clean
the release sheets following the instructions provided
by your local cleaning chemical supplier.

5. Scrape only the lower grill surface with the grill scraper,
and squeegee any residue into the grease troughs with
the grill squeegee.

Caution: Do not scrape or otherwise scratch the upper
platens. The use of metal scrapers, abrasive pads, or wire
brushes will permanently damage the surface of the upper
platens.

6. Open one packet of McD Hi-Temp Grill Cleaner, (HCS),
and empty the contents into a suitable container. (One
packet cleans a 3ft. grill).

7. Firmly attach the McD NO-SCRATCH™ Pad to the pad
holder.

8. Dip the NO-SCRATCH™ Pad into the grill cleaner.

9. Spread a light coating of grill cleaner over the entire
platen surface, BACK, FRONT AND SIDE EDGES of all
upper platens. DO NOT SCRUB WHILE APPLYING THE
PRODUCT.

10. After applying the grill cleaner, lightly scrub the platen
surfaces, BACK, FRONT AND SIDE EDGES with the NO­SCRATCH™ Pad until all the soil has been liquefied by
the grill cleaner. For stubborn soils, apply additional
grill cleaner and lightly scrub. DO NOT RINSE THE
PLATENS AT THIS TIME.

11. Starting at the back of the lower grill, spread a light
coating of grill cleaner over the entire surface. DO NOT
SCRUB WHILE APPLYING THE PRODUCT.

12. After applying the grill cleaner, lightly scrub the grill
surface with the NO-SCRATCH™ Pad until all the soil has
been liquefied.

PART #4521777 (03/19/08)Page 6

GARLAND ELECTRIC CLAMSHELL GRILL WITH PRODUCT RECOGNITION MODEL MWE3W INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE continued

13. Rinse the upper platens with a dripping wet grill cloth.
RINSE PLATEN EDGE THOROUGHLY, THEN WIPE DOWN
BACK EDGE OF PLATEN.

14. Carefully pour small quantities of lukewarm water
onto the grill while brushing the surface, backsplash,
and bullnose with a LONGLIFE™ pot brush or
equivalent high-temperature brush. Continue until the
water no longer boils away and the grill remains wet.
Squeegee dry.

Caution: Ice, cold water, or large quantities of water must
never be applied to the grill plate or upper platen. Severe
damage to the grill will occur!

15. Clean the release sheets as follows:

16. Place the sheets on the lower grill. Scrub both sides of
the sheets with the same McD NO-SCRATCH™ Pad used
on the grill.

Note: It is generally not necessary to apply additional
product to the NO-SCRATCH™ Pad. If the pad is not wet
enough rewet with a small amount of water, if no cleaner
is left.

a. Rinse both sides of the sheets with a wet grill cloth.

b. Rinse the lower grill by flooding the surface twice

with lukewarm water. Squeegee after each rinse.

17. Wipe the lower grill surface, backsplash, bullnose, and
hood with a clean, damp grill cloth.

AFTER CLEANING: Apply a thin coat of fresh shortening
to the lower grill surface only. Wipe down the surrounding
areas. Empty, wash, rinse, and replace the grease troughs.

Note: Repeat this procedure to clean additional grills.

Reverse NO-SCRATCH™ Pad, and use clean side.

CLEANING AFTER EACH RUN OF PRODUCT:

Using grill scraper, scrape grease on lower grill plate from
front to back only. Do not scrape across the rear of the
lower grill plate with grill scraper. Use wiper squeegee
to clean release material sheet on upper platen in a
downward motion.

Hold handle at a slight upward angle with wiper end
facing downward. Do not press hard against the release
material sheet to prevent scratching or tearing.

Push the grease at the rear of the lower grill plate into the
grease cans using the wiper squeegee only. Do not use the
grill scraper for this step.

Warning: Grill Temperatures will cause severe skin burns.

Use the grill cloth to clean back splash and bullnose areas
as needed during operation.

Note: To increase life of release material sheet, wipe down
with folded grill cloth four (4) times every hour.

GARLAND ELECTRIC CLAMSHELL GRILL WITH PRODUCT RECOGNITION MODEL MWE3W INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL

OPERATING PROCEDURES

General Overview:

The PRC grill control will allow for 2 functions, both
described in detail in the following sections

The “Normal Operating Mode”, also known as the Cook
Mode is the mode used during normal cooking. In the
normal operating mode, the operator can start a cook
cycle, cancel a cook cycle, view actual temperatures, scroll
to another menu item, and enter the Programming Mode.

The “Programming Mode” is the mode in which the
operator can program the controller’s various settings. To
enter the programming mode, PRESS and HOLD

There are currently 3 methods of cooking that can be
utilized with the MWE3 Garland clamshell:

Standard Cooking – This is the cook method that utilizes a
single gap setting for each menu item. The timer will count
down according to the selected menu item.

Multi Stage Cooking – This method of cooking utilizes 2
different gap settings during the cook cycle. The timer will
count down according to the selected menu item.

Product Recognition – The product recognition method
of cooking uses the magnetic switches mounted on the
upper platen arm assembly to determine the product
being cooked. Using the PR feature, the operator simply
selects the button on the controller. This will allow
the controller to know what product group to select
from. When a cook cycle is initiated, the platen will come
down and recognize the product being cooked. The
cook timer will count down according to the time set for
the recognized item. For more information on product
Recognition, see the next section; “Product Recognition.”

To turn the grill on:

The Main Power Switch – Controls power to the grill
and must be turned ON to start operation. The controller
displays will be active. Upon successful power up checks,
the controllers will displays “OFF”.

AM Operation – Teflon Sheets MUST be ON at this time
and the grill surface should be free and clear of carbon.

Once the PRC displays “OFF” press . The PRC will go to
PREHEAT mode and default to AM preheat temperatures.
To preheat to PM temperatures, press .

Upon reaching the AM or PM set temperature (whichever
is selected), the grill will stabilize in temperature for fifteen
(15) minutes. Once this time has elapsed, the grill will
autocalibrate. Upon completion of autocalibration, the
upper platens will raise to there normal position, and the
PRC will display “READY”.

To Select a Menu item:

Scroll forward through the list of available menu items by
pressing repeatedly. Scroll backward through the list of
available menu items by pressing repeatedly.

THERMOCOUPLE LOCATIONS

MWE3W: The electric grill’s thermocouple probes are

located front to rear, as shown in the diagram to the
right. Each upper platen has one thermocouple in the
center.

MWG3W: The gas grill’s thermocouple probes are

located in the center of each lane, as shown in the
diagram to the right. Each upper platen has one
thermocouple in the center.

4. Select a heat zone display using the or buttons.

5. Allow at least 5 seconds for the pyrometer to respond
and stabilize. Note the temperature on the pyrometer.

6. If the temperature on the grill control display does not
match the temperature on the pyrometer, adjust the
temperature on the grill control accordingly. The
button will increase the displayed temperature in one,
(1) degree increments. The button will decrease the
displayed temperature in one, (1), degree Increments.

NOTE: During step 6, the control should be sounding
a high-pitched tone. The temperature can only be
adjusted if this tone is sounding. If the control is silent,
the temperature will not change.
