Electric Drop-In Griddle

Exterior

The griddle dimensions are 26" (66cm) Deep, 5 3/8" (13.65cm) High, and width
is dependent on model number.

The griddle surface is constructed of 1" thick highly polished steel to reduce hot
and cold spots, recovery problems, and ensured even heat through out the
griddle.

Controls

Each twelve-inch section has its own easy to use solid-state temperature
controls with a temperature range from 175°F (79°C) to 450°F (232°C)in 25°
increments.

Each twelve-inch section has a set of 6 kW elements for high efficiency, quick
recovery and outstanding performance.

Unpacking

Receiving the Griddle

Upon receipt, check for freight damage, both visible and concealed. Visible damage should be noted
on the freight bill at the time of delivery and signed by the carrier's agent. Concealed loss or damage
