FIRST STEPS
POSITIONING
Keep appliance area free and clear of any
combustibles. Position the Miraclean®Griddle 6 inches
(152mm) from any combustible material. A minimum of
24 inches (610mm) should be provided at the front of
the Miraclean
®
Griddle for servicing and proper
operation. Air for combustion enters the Miraclean
®
Griddle from the bottom of the cabinet and the bottom
of the control panel.
DO NOT BLOCK BOTTOM OF MIRACLEAN
GRIDDLE CABINET. DO NOT OBSTRUCT FLUE.
Your Miraclean
®
Griddle is designed to be serviced
from the front with adequate clearance for air openings
into the combustion chamber servicing and operation.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE
Suitable for non-combustible floors.
VENTILATION
The Miraclean
®
Griddle must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is one of the important
considerations for efficient operation of the Miraclean
®
Griddle. It should be installed so that the products of
combustion are removed efficiently without producing
drafts that will interfere with proper burner operation.
The area around the front and bottom of the Miraclean
®
Griddle must be kept clear and unobstructed. In the
U.S.A. the ventilation systems must conform to the
ANSI/NFPA96 latest edition. “A minimum of 18"
(457mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet
and the lower edge of the grease filters.” It is the
responsibility of the owner and the local installer to
comply with national and local codes.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B49.1 or the Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Keating equipment is
designed and manufactured to operate only on the type
of gas specified by the user and indicated on the serial
plate located on the front panel. The gas may be
natural, propane or manufactured. The type of gas
cannot be converted to another gas fuel by turning or
engaging a switch.
NOTE: NOT FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZE
The Miraclean
®
Griddle requires a standard gas pipe
size of 3/4 inch (19mm) I.D. connection. The size of the
gas supply pipe is very important if the pipe is too small
you will have low gas pressure at the Miraclean
®
Griddle manifold. Low gas pressure will cause slow
recovery and/or delayed ignition. If you have a question
about gas pipe size call your local gas company.
Before connecting new pipe to the Miraclean
®
Griddle
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign
particles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded joints
of appliance piping shall be resistant to the action of
liquified petroleum gases. When using pipe joint
compound do not apply to the first two threads. Use
only very small amount and only on male threads. This
will prevent clogging of burner orifices and the gas
valve. Never use compound on female threads as it
might be pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
1) The Miraclean
®
Griddle and its individual shut off
valves must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45kPa)
(13.84 in WC) High pressure can damage the gas
valve causing a hazardous condition.
2.) The appliance must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.45 kPa).
The required gas pressure for proper
operation of each Miraclean®Griddle
is 4" water column for natural gas and 10" water
column for propane gas at the manifold.
If more than one gas unit is on the same supply line,
you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas
company to assure adequate volume and pressure.
Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirement for your
particular model.
FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTORS AND QUICK
DISCONNECT DEVICES
For an appliance equipped with casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or the Standard for
Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-
1.16, and a quick disconnect device that complies with
the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use
With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or the Standard for Quick
Disconnect devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9.
RESTRAINING DEVICES
Adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector
and the quick-disconnect device or its
associated piping to limit the
appliance movement.
Griddle installation on stands with
caster, casters and jam nuts must be
completely tightened.
The restraint means must be attached
to the rear of the Miraclean
®
Griddle within 2" of the
center line and approximately 1-5/8" from the bottom of
the cabinet back to allow the restraining bolt to be
anchored to the cabinet back between the cabinet
bottom and inner liner to ensure positive support to
restrain Miraclean®Griddle movement and not depend
on the flexible gas connector, quick-disconnect or
piping to limit the Miraclean®Griddle movement.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, it must be
reconnected when the Miraclean®Griddle is returned to
its originally installed position.
LEVELING
The Miraclean
®
Griddle will operate at its highest
efficiency when properly leveled. Place a level on the
Miraclean
®
Griddle plate from side to side. For griddles
on legs, the bottom foot of the leg is adjustable. Turn
counterclockwise to decrease height, or clockwise to
increase height until level. For griddles on stands with
casters, the casters are adjustable by loosening the
jam nut. When the desired level is reached, tighten the
jam nut. Adjustments of more than 3/4" are not
recommended on any caster. The same procedure
should be followed to level the Miraclean®Griddle from
front to back.

COOKING WITH YOUR
MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE
You will find that your new Miraclean®Griddle has
superb heat transfer. The polished trivalent chrome
finish of the Miraclean®reduces the emission of radiant
heat. Radiant heat is measured by emissivity. The
radiant heat of a perfect black body has
an emissivity of 1. The radiant heat of a
conventionally seasoned Griddle plate is
approximately .87. The radiant heat of the
Miraclean®has an emissivity of .078.
You can prove this to yourself by holding your hand
approximately 1/2" above the Miraclean®Griddle plate.
At this distance it is difficult to tell whether the Griddle
plate is hot or not. It feels as though the Griddle plate is
barely warm, but if you touch the plate, it will burn you.
The polished trivalent chrome finish on the Miraclean
®
Griddle plate is a wonderful insulator. It prevents the
radiant heat from leaving the griddle plate. It transfers
conducted heat to the food being cooked more rapidly
than other griddle plates, because the food is placed
directly on the metal surface. It is the understanding of
this rapid heat transfer that permits the practical and
beneficial use of the Miraclean
®
Griddle.
The Miraclean
®
Griddle finds an application in all sorts of
griddle work, from cooking wheat cakes to scrambling
eggs. We use these two products as illustrations
because generally wheat cakes are cooked on a hot
griddle. Eggs must be scrambled on a relatively cold
griddle. Between these two extremes fall dozens of
griddled items- everything from grilled frankfurters,
grilled Italian sausage, grilled sausage patties, the entire
range of steaks and chops and
chicken and fish.
It is necessary to understand that the
carmelization of the meat products
being cooked takes place at a higher
rate and at a lower griddle surface
temperature because of the improved
heat transfer of the Miraclean
®
Griddle.
Eggs can not only be scrambled, but
can be fried in any fashion. If the eggs
are to be basted it is necessary to have a metal cover,
and to spill or splash a small amount of water under the
cover so that the steam will baste the top of the eggs.
Eggs require a very low temperature because generally
you do not want the eggs to be browned on the bottom
where they come in contact with the griddle plate.
Approximately 250°F is ideal for scrambling or frying
eggs.
There are several griddle tools. A hamburger spatula is
like the one pictured here. The hamburger must stick at
least slightly to the griddle to hold its shape. If it does not
stick it shrinks in diameter, and the center of the meat
becomes thicker. It becomes more of a meat cake than
a hamburger. Therefore, the hamburger spatula has a
strong cutting edge.
An egg spatula
is shown in this illustration. An egg spatula has a long
very thin blade so that it can be slipped under the egg
without damaging it or breaking the yolk. This spatula
can also be used for chopping the scrambled eggs so
as they are turned they can be cooked to perfection
without unnecessary browning. This same spatula is
used for omelettes.
