flood, and like “Acts of God” that are beyond the control of
The Garland Group.
The Garland Group’s liability on a claim of warranty shall
not exceed the price of the material and/or service, which
caused the claim. This warranty is limited and is in lieu of all
other warranties, expressed or implied. The Garland Group,

The Garland clamshell grill, manufactured exclusively for
McDonald's, provides a method for efficient two-sided
cooking, while accommodating a variety of products. The
unit will also serve as a flat grill, and meets all of McDonald's
standards for safety, efficiency, and cleanliness.
SAFETY
Always follow these safety precautions when operating the
clamshell grill.
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.
The Garland clamshell grill is a semi-automatic cooking
appliance. The upper platen is lowered automatically,
following the manual; two-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 may during its operation emit airborne
noise equivalent to a continuous A weighted sound pressure
level of 73dB(A).
4
Page 5
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).
NOTE: The anchor assembly remains fastened to the back
wall of the grill bay.
After service or cleaning 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.
SHIPPING DAMAGE CLAIM PROCEDURE
Please note that the Garland equipment was carefully
inspected and packed by skilled personnel before leaving
the factory. The transportation company assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the
equipment.
What to do if the equipment arrives damaged:
1. File a claim immediately regardless of the extent of
damage.
2. Be sure to note, “visible loss or damage,” on the freight
bill or express receipt and have the person making the
delivery sign it.
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 on platen
lowering, platen raising and 5 seconds before the completion
of the cooking 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 is 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.
3. Concealed loss or damage: if damage is unnoticed until
the equipment is unpacked, notify the freight company
immediately, (within 15 days), and file a concealed damage
claim.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The following information is also available on the
McDonalds MRC Card 11.
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. PRESS the "MENU" button 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
5
Page 6
sound when the grill is at the proper cleaning temperature.
PRESS the "MENU" button to display "OFF." The
"OFF" position on the controllers allows the operator to
raise and lower the upper platens, (for clamshell grills),
to alternate positions for proper 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.
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:
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 both 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
NO-SCRATCH( 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
13. For Clamshell Grills, rinse the upper platens with a
dripping wet grill cloth. RINSE PLATEN EDGE
THOROUGHLY, THEN WIPE DOWN BACK EDGE
OF PLATEN.
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.

Multi-Stage Cooking
If you have version 7.30 EPROM chip software, your
controller is equipped with the new Multi-stage cooking
feature.
With Multi-Stage cooking, the product being cooked is
cooked using multiple gap settings for a selected period of
time.
For example, during 4:1 cooking, the platen would normally
gap at a gap setting of .416 (Four-hundred and sixteen
thousands) for the entire length of the cook cycle.
With multi stage cooking, the platen will gap at the beginning
of the cook cycle at .400 for only 5 seconds. At the interval
of 6 seconds, the gap will change to .425 for the remainer of
the cook cycle.
All of the “CLAM” menu items programmed in this 7.30
eprom chip have options to cook using the multi-stage gap
feature.
Currently, 10:1 - CLAM, and 4:1 - CLAM are the only menu
items with a factory default program with multiple gaps.
Please see table below showing additional stages for these
products.
2. Press the “UP ARROW” ( ↑ ) button.

POSSIBLE ERROR MESSAGES
“Probe Open”
An open probe condition has occurred. The controller will
turn the heater controlled by the malfunctioning probe OFF.
If the open probe condition should correct itself; the control
will return to the ‘’IDLE MODE ‘’.
“Clam did not go down”
Occurs if the platen does not reach the proper position (GAP
SETTING) in 30 seconds. You may cancel the message by
pressing the “TEMP” button.
“Upper Platen Stuck”
Occurs when the controller does not get an upper platen
setting signal 15 seconds after it starts to raise
the platen. In order to return to the “IDLE MODE”, the
controller must get a upper platen setting signal. You
may cancel the message by pressing the “TEMP” button
followed by the GREEN (“RAISE”) button in order to retry
raising the platen.
“Eprom Corrupt”
Displayed at startup when the controller detects a corrupt
menu item or when a new version of the
software is loaded. To cancel this message, switch the grill
“off” and “on” again at the main power switch.
“High Limit”
Occurs when:
1. The Controller senses a zone at 465( F (241( C)
NOTE: The Controller has 2 High Limit tests located at the
end of the menu item list. If the test is enabled, that test will
heat the zone (Platen, or Grill) to 465(, and the controller will
flash “High Limit”
“Motor Overcurrent”
Occurs when:
1. The upper platen has been mechanically resisted the
platen will stop.
2. The platen control motor is inoperative. Turn the
“MASTER POWER” switch OFF, then ON again.
“Faulty Element / Shorted Probe”
Occurs when the controller does not detect a proper
temperature response. Also, the RED LED will light,
indicating which element /probe is in error.
NOTE: Should all four, (4), LED’s flash RED approximately
six, (6), minutes after the unit is turned on, ensure that the
main three-phase, (large), power cord is plugged in and the
main circuit breaker is ON.
