Attach the legs to the body by threading the exposed leg stud into the threaded holes
located on the underside of the unit. Tighten each leg so that the top face of the leg is
pressed firmly against the body bottom. Do not operate griddle without legs or integrated
stand as damage will occur.
LEVELING
Position the griddle in the desired location. Level the griddle by using a wrench to turn
the adjustable feet. You must hold the leg while turning the foot so that it’s a t tachment to
the griddle is not loosened.
LOCATION
The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not permit air to
blow directly at the griddle. Avoid open windows next to the griddle wherever possible.
Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross-currents within the room.
This griddle is Design Certified for installation on a non-comb u s tible counter with 4 ” leg s,
or combustible floor with 24” h ig h stand.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the
applicable portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical
codes.
Disconnect the electrical power to the griddle and follow lockout /
tagout procedures.
Electrical Connections
1. Remove the junction box cover plate(s) at the back of the unit. This exposes the built-in junction
boxes and griddle line leads.
2. Select a suitable knockout on the rear or bottom of the junction box.
3. Connect the griddle’s line leads to the supply wires with factory supplied wire connectors as shown
in the applicable wiring instructions. Do not disturb the internal griddle wiring.
4. Push the excess wire into the junction box and replace the cover plate. Never operate the griddle
without the junction box covers in place.
Since the griddle is not fused, you must connect it to a fused circuit equipped with a
suitable disconnecting means as required by local authorities.

OPERATION
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Disconnect power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures
before cleaning and servicing the appliance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packing material and protective plastic from the surfaces of the unit. Before
leaving the factory the griddle cooking surface is coated with vegetable oil as a rust
inhibitor. Remove this film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking
use. Heat the griddle to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface
by adding water or a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial cleaner, following the
manufacturer’s directions. Scrape the oil residue from the plate wi t h a griddle scr a per .
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Thermostat Knob
Red Indicator Light
Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every
cleaning. This will also help reduce the sticking of cooked food product. Heat griddle to a
low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil – about one ounce
per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire
griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the
procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.
CONTROLS
Each thermostat independently controls a 12” wide gr iddle sect i on. W hen each
thermostat is turned ON, the corresponding red indicator light will illuminate to indicate
that the elements are on for that section. When the griddle plate reaches the desired
temperature set point, the elements will be turned off for that section and the indicator
light will go off. Indicator lights will cycle off and on as the thermostats turn the
corresponding heating elements off and on to maintain the set temperatures. At the end
of each day, you must turn all thermostat knobs to the OFF position to turn off the unit.
USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, set the thermostats for the desired temperatures 20 minutes before cooking.
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent
product results.

This griddle features two tubular heating elements in each 12” section Each section is
controlled by an independent thermostat. Each 12” section is a separate cooking zo ne,
and allows cooking a wide variety of products over a single griddle plate. The chart below
is a suggested usage of zone cooking.
When zone cooking, it is suggested that you start with your lowest temperature setting at
either side of the griddle, increasing the zone temperature as you move up the zone line.
These zone cooking guidelines will vary depending on product temperatures, size and
shape. This guide should be adjusted to suit your product and operational cooking
preference.

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs
better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle
plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the
transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss
of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle foods, giving them a
highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.
Do not use a water-jet to clean the griddle as this can cause damage to internal electrical
components.
The standard HEG and WEG griddle plates are carbon steel, but can be scored or dented
by careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the
plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the
corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. Use a griddle stone, screen, or Scotch Bright™ pad
on the surface as necessary. Rub with the grain of the metal while the griddle is still
warm (not hot). A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure
the detergent is thoroughly removed by flushing with clear water. After removal of
detergent the surface of the plate the griddle should be seasoned according to the
instructions in this manual.
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the griddle with a griddle scraper during the work shift. Take care not to vigorously
strike the back or side splashes with the scraper.
ONCE PER DAY
Thoroughly clean the griddle back splash, sides and front. Turn the griddle off and allow it
to cool down between 275°F-300°F, apply some water to the cooking surface and clean it
with a griddle scraper. Remove, empty and wash the grease drawer in the same manner
as an ordinary cooking utensil.
Wipe the griddle exterior clean with a damp cloth to prevent grease accumulation and dry.
