EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
Lang Model: XL
Electric Clamshell
The Electric Clamshell consists of an electric griddle base and an electric hood.
Exterior
♦
Griddle
Griddle dimensions are 17” (43.18cm) high x 30” (76.20cm) deep x width is dependent
upon model number.
The sides, bottom, and rear wall are constructed of double wall stainless steel that allows
closer installation to combustible surfaces.
The griddle surface is made of 1” thick, highly polished steel that eliminates hot and
cold spots, recovery problems and warping, and ensures even heat to the edges of the
griddle.
♦
XL Hood
Hood dimensions (including griddle and legs) are 22¼” (55.88cm) high with hood
lowered, (44¾” [113.67cm] high with hood raised, 31½” (80cm) deep, x 24” (61cm)
wide.
The hood wrap is constructed of stainless steel.
There is a 3” clearance between griddle and hood.
Controls
♦
Griddle
Each twelve-inch section has a manual thermostat with a temperature range of 175°F to
450°F in 50° increments.
The thermostat is mounted in a fully enclosed, air-cooled compartment for protection
from heat and grease.
Each thermostat has a pilot light indicating when heating elements are energized. Light
shuts off when griddle reaches set temperature.
♦
XL Hood
The XL Hood has an “on/off” toggle switch located in the griddle base control area that
energizes the heater. A tilt switch is integrated in the top of the hood that activates the
heater to “full on” when lowered, standby when raised.
A “on/off” heat indicator lamp is located next to the “on/off” toggle switch.
