UNPACKING AND INSPECTION:
Carefully lift Griddle out of shipping container, and inspect immediately for shipping damage. Install 4-inch legs as
follows: Remove the legs from plastic shipping bag, turn Griddle on its back and screw legs into the four holes
provided in bottom.
NOTE: Your heavy-duty commercial Griddle was shipped in a carton designed to give it maximum protection in
normal handling. It was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory and the carrier accepted and signed for it.
File any claims for shipping damage or irregularities directly with the carrier, not with company.

INSTALLATION: (Caution: Be sure to comply with local codes.)
Carefully place griddle in its permanent location, allowing at least 1-inch clearance from the rear wall to prevent
possible heat damage.
Level the griddle by adjusting the legs. It is best to tilt the griddle plate a few degrees toward the front, where the
grease chute is located, to facilitate grease runoff.
The griddle is not fused internally; therefore, it must be connected to a fused circuit equipped with a suitable
disconnect as may be required by local electrical code. Refer to the wiring table for fuse or circuit breaker required
for each griddle.
ELECTRICAL HOOKUP:
All Griddles– come supplied with an appropriate Line Cord and Plug in accordance to Griddle size.
Insert Line Cord Plug into APPROPRIATE NEMA SOCKET. (See Electrical Specifications, front page)
WARNING
MACHINE WARRANTY IS VOID IF GRIDDLE IS CONNECTED TO ANY VOLTAGE OTHER THAN THAT
FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.
PREPARING GRIDDLE:
Peel off paper covering griddle plate.
The cooking surface is protected with a coating of petroleum jelly, which must be removed before the griddle can be
used. To do this, set thermostat knob(s) to 200 degrees and wait for the griddle to heat up enough to melt the
petroleum jelly. Immediately turn thermostat knob(s) to OFF and use a cloth to wipe off as much petroleum jelly as
possible. Then wipe the cooking surface with griddle cleaner, rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
Apply a light coating of cooking oil or shortening to the entire cooking surface. Your griddle plate is now ready for
normal operation.
OPERATION:
Turn the thermostat knob(s) to the desired cooking temperature and wait for the griddle to reach operating
temperature (when the pilot light(s) go out.) Your griddle features independent heating zones, each controlled by
one thermostat. This allows different types of food to be cooked at the same time in different zones. Use the
Cooking Chart below as a guide for proper cooking temperatures and times required for different foods.

A grease trough is provided at the front of the griddle with a drain chute which empties into a grease drawer; use
spatula to loosen the soil on the griddle plate and sweep it into the chute. Do not tap the edge of the spatula on the
griddle plate, as this will mar the finish of the polished surface and perhaps cause food to stick when cooking.
MAINTENANCE:
Keep the griddle plate clean by washing with hot water and griddle cleaners, available from your dealer. Do not use
steel wool or abrasives, which will become embedded in the plate, ruining the finish and causing food to stick.
Keep all exterior surfaces of the griddle free of splashed grease and other dirt by washing regularly with hot water
and soap. Rinse and wipe dry; then polish with a soft cloth.
These simple procedures will not only keep your griddle clean and sparkling, but will prevent grease accumulations
from forming. A well-cleaned griddle will give you many years of service.

ADJUSTMENTS
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT:
Problem: Temperature of griddle plate does not coincide with thermostat knob setting.
Remedy:
1. Turn thermostat knob to 300 degrees.
2. Place a suitable thermometer on the griddle surface, and wait until temperature stabilizes.
3. Turn thermostat knob to match reading on thermometer; then carefully remove knob without disturbing
setting.
4. While holding the thermostat shaft, place a small screwdriver in the adjusting screw in the center of the
shaft.
5. If the pilot light is on, slowly turn the screw clockwise until the light goes out. This lowers the thermostat
temperature. If the pilot light is out, slowly turn the screw counter-clockwise until the light comes on. This
raises the thermostat temperature. Then turn clockwise just until the pilot light goes out again.
6. Replace the thermostat knob. The temperature of the griddle plate now coincides with the thermostat knob
setting.
GRIDDLE NOT HEATING PROPERLY:
Problem 1: Griddle does not heat when thermostat knob(s) is turned ON.
Pilot light(s) do not light.
Possible Cause: Loss of power to griddle.
REMEDY: Check line fuses or circuit breakers at power source.
Problem 2: Only part of griddle plate works properly and the thermostat pilot does not light on faulty
part of Griddle.
Causes: A. Thermostat set too high or too low needs adjusting.
B. Faulty thermostat which must be replaced.
REMEDY: A. Follow Adjustment procedure in “THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT” paragraph above.
B. Replace thermostat as follows:
CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER FROM GRIDDLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ELECTRICAL
REPAIRS
1. Tilt griddle on its side.
2. Remove front panel (4 mounting screws on the front, 2 on bottom).
3. Remove bottom cover (6 mounting screws). Take care not to damage the line cord.
4. Disconnect wires from heating element.
5. Disconnect thermostat bulb from plate by removing the two screws holding capillary clamp.
6. Remove thermostat knob.
7. Remove the two screws holding thermostat in place. Lift out thermostat and disconnect the wires, tagging
them to be certain they are replaced on the proper terminals of the new thermostat.
8. Install new thermostat by following the above procedure in reverse order.
9. Calibrate thermostat, following the procedure in “THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT” paragraph above.
Problem 3: Thermostat(s) works properly, but there is insufficient heat in one or more zones of griddle.
Possible Cause : Heating element(s) burned out on zone(s) of plate not operating properly.
REMEDY: Replace heating element(s) as follows:
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 of “Replace Thermostat” procedure above.
2. Remove heating element retainer plate.
3. Install new heating element by following the procedure above in reverse order.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS HOLDING HEATING ELEMENT RETAINER PLATE IN PLACE.
