4mm(2), three wire with ground electrical cord. Each
cooking head is rated 4000W, 18 amps, single phase

own 208-240V single phase electrical supply. For
proper connecting and grounding procedures see
local codes, the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70 (latest edition) or Canadian Electrical Code CAN
C22.2 (latest edition) as applicable.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Keating does not assume responsibility for loss or
damage incurred in transit.
IMPORTANT
This merchandise has been thoroughly inspected
and carefully packed before leaving our plant.
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by
the carrier at the time of shipment. Claims for loss or
damage to the contents should, therefore, be made
upon the carrier, as follows:
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in transit due to rough handling even though
the carton may not show external damage. When the
damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within
fi fteen days of the delivery date. Then fi le a claim with
WIRE SIZE
Use the WIRE SIZE TABLE to help determine the
proper wire size for electrical service hook-up. Use
the largest amp value of the three conductors for
3-phase installations when using the table. The amperage values for a product can be found on its serial
number tag. Consult the National Electrical Code
Handbook for additional information or to help answer
questions about wire size selection.

*For runs greater than 75' up to 125', use the next
wire size larger to keep the voltage drop to less than
3%. For runs greater than 125', consult the National
Electrical Code Handbook to help determine the proper
wire size.
**2/0 wire ambient temperature must be kept at less
than 104°F (40°C).
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.
NOTE: Because of the superior heating characteristics
and heat retention properties found in the Miraclean®
surface, operating temperatures should be set 10°F to
25°F below conventional griddles.
2. Set thermostat to the desired temperature. Red
“ELEMENT ON” light will illuminate when the element
is on.
NOTE: To increase temperature, adjust knob clockwise.
To decrease, adjust knob counterclockwise.

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 TOP-SIDE™ MIRACLEAN®
SURFACE
The Miraclean® surface 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 procedures on page 4.
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.
Pre-2005 Model
Maximum thermostat setting 554ºF (290ºC)
2005 - Current Model
NOTE: The green “Power On” light will be illuminated
as long as there is power to the Top-Side™ Cooker.

COOKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Keating’s Top-Side™ Cooker has been designed to
allow you infi nite height adjustments from 1/8" to
1-1/2" (approximately 3mm to 38mm). An adjusting
knob allows fast and precise height adjustment.
Clockwise movement of the knob will increase the
spacing; counter clockwise movement will decrease
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 fi rmly to ensure optimum
heat distribution without fl attening the product.
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.
NOTE: 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
COOKING HEAD 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. USE OF ICE MAY WARP THE
MIRACLEAN® SURFACE.
• USE ONLY KEATING SUPPLIED CLEANING TOOLS
AND KLENZER.
• USE ONLY A KEATING STEEL SPATULA.
NOTE: Keating Klenzer MSDS is available on our
website.
DO NOT HACK, CHOP, HIT OR CUT ON THE
MIRACLEAN® 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. See the sketch showing the 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.
