INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
The data plate is located on top of the control box. The griddle voltage, wattage, serial number, wire size, and clearance specifications are on the data plate. This information should be carefully read and understood before proceeding with the installation.
The installation of any components such as a vent hood, grease extractors, fire extinguisher systems, must conform to their applicable National, State and locally recognized installation standards
.
Installing Griddle into Cabinet
Turn the griddle over, taking care not to kink the thermostat capillary tubes. Set the griddle on the table that it is to be installed in (leaving a hole big enough to
slip the control panel through). Insert the control panel through the hole and out the control opening of the cabinet. The hole must be a minimum of 12” from the griddle and such that the control box
can come out of the cabinet 18” for serviceability. Lower the griddle plate to sit flat in the table opening.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection must be made in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes with
STD. C22.1
A power connection box is provided for power connection. This box must be installed a minimum of 18 inches away from the heating elements
in the cabinet box.
All electrical connections can be made at this box. The range can now be connected to power.

Prior to putting any griddle into full time operation at normal cooking temperatures, it must be thoroughly "seasoned" or dried out. Moisture absorption in the closed spaces, in the insulation and even inside the heating elements can cause future trouble if not properly treated.
Before seasoning the griddle it is first necessary to remove the shipping preservative from the griddle surface. To do this set add a mild detergent to hot water and wash the griddle plate. Rinse with a damp sponge and dry with a clean rag.
To "season" the griddle, set the thermostat dial to 300°. Allow unit to cycle once. Apply a thin coat of high-grade, non-salted vegetable oil to the griddle surface. Rub the oil into the griddle surface with the flat side of a spatula or a towel. Re­coat any dry spots that appear then wait two minutes and wipe off any excess oil. Repeat these steps at 350°, 400°, 450°, 500°, and 550°.
INITIAL START UP
NOTICE:
During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small amount of smoke coming off the griddle, and a faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for a new griddle and will disappear after the first few hours of use.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
CAUTION:
The griddle is provided with two thermostats for controlling the middle two feet of the griddle surface. The outside one-foot of the griddle is not directly heated.
All cooking should be done on the middle two feet of the griddle surface. All holding should be done on outside one foot of the griddle.
The thermostats are provided with indicator lights that will go off when the griddle section reaches the set temperature.
Turn the thermostat dials to the desired cooking temperature and allow the indicator to cycle on and off a minimum of three times before beginning to cook.
If the product is loaded directly over the griddle thermostat the elements will react much quicker and the unit will heat up faster. If the product is loaded to the sides of the griddle thermostat then the reaction time for the elements to come on will be slightly delayed.
Turn the thermostat dial to the off position at the end of the shift.
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA NEAR THE APPLIANCE FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
KEEP FLOOR IN FRONT OF EQUIPMENT CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Cleaning
WARNING: KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF
CONTROLS. NEVER SPRAY OR HOSE CONTROL CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC.
CAUTION:
The griddle should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week in addition to the normal daily cleaning to insure against the accumulation of foreign material.
NOTICE:
Electric equipment is inherently clean and sanitary, but may become unsanitary if dirt is allowed to accumulate on it. Take advantage of the clean, sanitary features of electric equipment, give it the regular attention that it deserves the same as any other highl y perfected machinery, to insure best results and continued high operating efficiency.
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ THE WARNING AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE CLEANER TO BE USED.
Any cleaner used should be marked: “SAFE ON ALUMINUM”.
CALIBRATION
Calibration Check
!
Place thermometer or thermocouple in the center of griddle.
!
Set thermostat to 350°.
!
Allow the griddle to Preheat for at least half an hour.
!
Note cycle on temperatures and cycle off temperatures for 3 cycles. (Red indicator light indicates when oven is calling for heat)
!
After 3 cycles average the temperature. ( Add all six temperatures and divide by 6)
Calibration Adjustment
!
A 1/16” flat blade screwdriver with a 2” shaft is required to make adjustments on the thermostat.
!
Maintain the oven temperature at 350°.
!
Without turning the thermostat, remove the knob.
!
Locate the adjustment screw at the base of the shaft and insert the screwdriver.
!
Grasp the shaft and turn the screwdriver. Counter clockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease (1/8 of a turn will move the temperature 5-7 ° in either direction).
!
Reinstall the oven knob and recheck the oven temperature.
