II INSTALLATION

This Top-Side™Cooker MUST be installed on a Keating
griddle only. Failure to do so voids the warranty.

The Top-Side

™

Cooker must be installed, inspected,
calibrated and serviced by qualified, certified and/or
licensed service personnel. Contact your dealer for
assistance.

DAMAGE DURING
SHIPMENT

The Top-Side™Cooker has been assembled, tested and
inspected at the factory. Upon arrival, the complete Top­Side

™

Cooker should be thoroughly checked for any

damage that may have occurred during shipment.

What to do if equipment arrives damaged:

VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE- Be certain to note this on
the freight or express receipt and have it signed by the
delivery person.

FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY­Regardless of extent of damage.

CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE- If the damage is
noticed when the equipment is unpacked, notify the
freight company immediately, and file a “concealed
damage claim”. This MUST be done immediately. Be
sure to retain the shipping container for inspection.

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest
edition) or Canadian Electrical Code CAN C22.1 (latest
edition) as applicable.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

III OPERATING

Food will cook much faster with a Top-Side™Cooker
than with a griddle alone. Watch food while cooking or
use timers to ensure food will not be overcooked.

OPERATION OF THE TOP-SIDE

™

COOKER
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO PERSONNEL
THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OPERATING
PROCEDURES.

CONDITIONING THE
GRIDDLE

The MIRACLEAN®Griddle plate has been “seasoned”
at the factory. The chrome surface when heated
creates a thin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a
releasing agent for food products. If you feel you need
to recondition the surface, the following instructions
should be followed:

1. Follow cleaning instructions on this page & next.

2. Heat the MIRACLEAN

®

to 400°F for one hour.

3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the

MIRACLEAN®to cool to about 350°F, as is evident
when griddle cycles on or surface thermometer
indicates correct temperature.

4. Lightly coat the MIRACLEAN

®

surface with griddle

oil.

NOTE: Despite the food releasing properties, the
chrome surface is not a true “non-stick” surface. For
best cooking results and product appearance, use
griddle oil for products that require the surface to be
conditioned.

COOKING

1. Turn ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.

2. Press and hold the “Push to Set” button on the
thermostat and adjust the knob to the desired
temperature. The new temperature will be entered
after 3 seconds. Red “ELEMENT ON” light will
illuminate when the element is on.

NOTE: To increase temperature, adjust knob

clockwise. To decrease, adjust knob
counterclockwise.

Cooker Control Panel

COOKING HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT

Keating’s Top-Side™Cooker has been designed to
allow you infinite height adjustments from 1/8'' to 11/2 ''
(approximately 3mm to 38mm). An adjusting knob
allows fast and precise height adjustment.

Clockwise movement of the knob will decrease the
spacing; counter clockwise movement will increase the
spacing. Each turn of the adjusting knob represents
1/8'' (approximately 3mm) movement.

Experimentation will give you the best cooking height
for each type of food product. The cooking head should
contact the product firmly to ensure optimum heat
distribution without flattening the product.

DIGITAL TIMER
PROGRAMMING FOR
AUTO-LIFT HEADS
ONLY

The electronic timers provide a clearly visible and
accurate display and are very easy to use. Three
different, independent cook times can be set using this
timer - T1, T2 and T3. When cook time has reached
“00:00”, the cooking head will automatically raise.

T3T2

SET

T1

1-800-KEATING

Programming

To program the timers, the unit must be in the idle
mode. Press and hold the set button for approximately
two seconds. The display will show “SEt”. Press T1, T2
or T3 for the cook time to be programmed. The display
will show the current setting for that cook time. Use the
up or down button to increment or decrement the
setting. When the setting is correct, press and hold the
set button again for approximately two seconds. The
display will show "StO" for approximately two seconds
and the timer will return to normal operation. Repeat
the process as necessary for the other timers.

Operating Logic

When the timer is powered up, the display will show the
time setting for the channel that was operated last and
the relay output contacts will be open. To start a cycle,
press the desired cook time button (T1, T2 or T3). The
display will begin to countdown from the preset time
setting and the relay output contacts will close. During
the countdown the colon will flash at a one-second
rate. When the countdown has reached "00:00" the
relay output contacts will open, the display will flash,
and the audible alarm will sound. To cancel the audible
alarm, press any button.

Pause Feature

To pause a cycle in progress, press any button. The
relay output contacts will open, the display will flash,
and the countdown will pause. To resume the
countdown, press any button. The display will resume
the normal countdown and the relay output contacts
will close.

SHUTDOWN

Turn ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position.

CLEANING
PROCEDURES

A. Keating Cooking Sheets

 Clean cooking sheets with a damp soft cloth after

each run of product (a Turkish towel works best).

THE COOKING HEAD WILL BE HOT. USE PROPER
CARE WHEN CLEANING THE COOKING SHEETS.

End of day cleaning:

Before the griddle is turned off for the day, the cooking
sheets should be cleaned as described below. Wear
heat resistant gloves for maximum safety during the
entire cleaning procedure.

1. At the end of the day, wipe the cooking sheet in
place with a damp soft cloth. Continue wiping until
the surface of the cooking sheet is free of any residue.

2. Remove the cooking sheet from the cooking head.
Clean the cooking head and the griddle surfaces.

3. Wash the cooking sheet with a mild detergent in
warm water and dry thoroughly.

4. If needed, after the cleaning is complete, reverse
the cooking sheet and reattach it to the cooking
head.

B. Cooking Sheet Clips

To remove the stainless steel cooking sheet clips for
cleaning, simply lift them off. They can be cleaned in a
dishwasher.

C. Cooking Head

The MIRACLEAN

®

surface is very durable and with
proper care, following the procedures below, will last
many years.

1. Scrape MIRACLEAN

®

surface from front to back
with the Keating griddle scraper with Cooking
Sheets removed.

2. Clean and polish surface with Keating Klenzer on a
damp soft cotton cloth. Wipe off excess Klenzer.

BECAUSE OF THE SUPERIOR MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE, THE ONLY TOOLS YOU WILL EVER NEED
TO CLEAN THE TOP-SIDE

™

COOKING HEAD ARE A
DAMP SOFT COTTON CLOTH AND A KEATING
SCRAPER.

 NEVER SCRAPE COOKING SHEETS WITH THE

SCRAPER.

 NEVER USE A GRIDDLE STONE, BRICK,

GRIDDLE SCREEN OR HARSH CHEMICALS TO
CLEAN THE MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE.

 DAMAGE DONE TO THE MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE
BY GRIDDLE STONE, BRICK, SCREEN, OR
HARSH CHEMICALS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

 THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE IS IRREPARABLE.

 NEVER USE ICE TO COOL THE MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE AS IT MAY WARP THE MIRACLEAN

®

SURFACE.

 USE ONLY KEATING SUPPLIED CLEANING

TOOLS AND KLENZER.

 USE ONLY A KEATING STEEL SPATULA.

NOTE: Keating Klenzer MSDS Sheet available on
website, www.keatingofchicago.com

Do not hack, chop or hit the surface. You will dent the
steel plate under the trivalent chrome. It is even
possible to hack two nicks close together and actually
tear the MIRACLEAN

®

surface as the chromium will not
stretch. Below is a sketch showing a side view of a
cooking head and how the surface can be damaged.
Proper use of the utensils supplied with your
MIRACLEAN

®

Griddle will prevent surface damage.

TIPS ON PROPER
HANDLING AND USE
OF COOKING SHEETS

To ensure long life of your Keating cooking sheets
please follow the tips below:

Cooking sheets should never:

 Be folded or creased.

 Be touched with sharp objects.

 Come in contact with griddle scrapers or abrasive pads.

 Be placed under other equipment or objects.

Cooking sheets should always:

 Be wiped with a damp soft cotton cloth after each run

to remove any product residue.

 Be cleaned after the griddle is shut down for the day.

The time to change a Cooking Sheet is when:

 Product starts sticking to the sheet.

 Too much carbon build-up causes a product

appearance, cooking or taste problem.

 The head surface is cool.

 The sheet is torn or ripped.

THE TOP-SIDE

™

TROUBLESHOOTING THE THERMOSTAT

Temperature reading is incorrect,
showing a sensor error, or
LOAD LED is switching at the
wrong temperature.

• Sensor or controller may be bad.
Sensor connections may be bad.

• Controller is wired incorrectly.

Place a jumper wire across the
thermocouple input terminals. The
display should indicate ambient
temperature. If it does, the
controller is ok. If not, replace
controller.

Decrease set point below ambient
temperature, LOAD LED should be
off for heating controllers. If it is, the
controller is OK.

Increase set point above ambient
temperature. LOAD LED should be
on for heating controllers. If it is, the
controller is OK.

Verify proper wiring. Call 1-800­KEATING for a diagram.

Temperature reading is decreasing,
but actual temperature is increasing.

• Thermocouple polarity is reversed.
Red wire denotes negative wire.

• Ambient temperature in the control
cabinet is over 70°C.

Check thermocouple connections.
All connections, including extension
wire, must maintain the correct
polarity. Correct if needed.

Measure temperature in cabinet to
ensure it is below 70°C.

1. Remove the limit switch black plastic cover on the
actuator.

2. Turn on the power on unit and push the T1, T2 or T3
button on the timer. The actuator will extend the stroke and
lower head. The motor must stop and the stroke should
stop extending before it reaches its mechanical stop. This
movement is controlled by the top micro switch.

3. If the motor fails to stop, manually depress the top
micro switch actuator. Disconnect power to the actuator
motor. Loosen the set screw (2.5mm allen wrench) located
on the top cam. Rotate the top cam clockwise, until the
switch is made (listen for audible click).

4. Tighten the set screw on the cam, using blue locktite.

5. Turn on the power and push the T1, T2 or T3 button on
the timer until it goes to the preset time. The actuator will
retract the stroke and raise the head. The motor must stop

and the stroke should stop retracting before it reaches its
mechanical stop. This movement is controlled by the
bottom micro switch.

6. If the motor fails to stop, manually depress the bottom
micro switch actuator. This will disconnect power to the
actuator motor. Loosen the set screw (2.5mm Allen wrench)
located on the bottom cam. Rotate the bottom cam counter
clockwise until the switch is made (listen for audible click.).

7. Tighten the set screw on the cam, using blue locktite.

8. Test the Top-Side head. Verify the adjustments did not
change the length of the stroke, thus preventing correct
function of the top Top-Side head. The Top-Side cooking
head must be able to reach the griddle plate. If it does not
function properly, complete steps #2 through #7.

9. Reinstall the switch cover.
