SAFETY
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR PROFESSIONAL USE AND SHALL BE USED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away. This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.”
CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE OPERATED UNDER AN APPROVED HOOD SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH
LOCAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
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 xed 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 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 at 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. Temperatures on solid cooking surfaces are intended to operate
above 120C (250F).
In two sided 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 foodstu s in a McDonald’s store.
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.
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 oor.
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. For safety reasons, the grill must be secured in the grill bay in this manner before
operation can resume.

Start Up Procedure
This Garland 3-platen grill comes with a Factory Start up
at no additional charge. A start up is required to take
place BEFORE the unit is put into operation. It is the
end-user responsibility to schedule the start up with their
local Factory Authorized Service Agent, or notify Garland
Commercial Industries at 1-800-446-8367 should you need
assistance scheduling.
A factory start up is a comprehensive grill check in which
a factory certi ed technician will document all nal
settings programmed in the controller once various other
performance checks are complete. The estimated time
to complete a start up is approximately 2.5 – 3.5 hours.
Please keep in mind this estimated time when scheduling
the start up. After hours or overtime is not covered
under warranty and will be billed at a charge which is the
di erence between the Garland Reimbursement rate and
the Factory Authorized Service Centers overtime charges.
A factory startup is necessary to start the warranty period.
The Authorized Service Center is required to complete
the paperwork during the start up process, and send it
to Garland Commercial Industries for reimbursement. At
the time of receipt, Garland will start the warranty period
which will conclude at the end of 2 years. You may contact
your Kitchen Equipment Supplier or dial 1-866-735-1955
for more details regarding an optional 3rd year extended
warranty plan.
Hood Type & Platen Height
With the platens in the raised position, measure the
height from the front edge of the platen to the grill
surface. Determine which type of hood the store has
and check for hood type/platen height compatibility
according to the table below:
HOOD TYPECORRECT PLATEN HEIGHT
Universal18 1⁄2” (470mm)
92 Series17” (432mm)

INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL GARLAND CLAMSHELL GRILLS WITH PRODUCT RECOGNITION
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
di erent 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 – Te on 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 and hold .

Upon reaching the AM or PM set temperature (whichever
is selected), the grill will stabilize in temperature for fteen
(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.
Menu Item Library
The menu item library is loaded in the computer based
upon the setting programmed in [CONFIGURE]->[GRILL
REGION]. Each menu item consists of a function called
[DISPLAY ACTIVE]. The settings in this function (AM, PM,
AM/PM, No) determine what menu items are displayed
when the button is pressed.
