General Information

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 manual thermostat with a temperature range
from 175°F to 450°F 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 means loss or damage,
which does not become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a written
request for inspection by the carrier's agent within 15 days of delivery. All
packing material should be kept for inspection. Do not return damaged
merchandise to Lang Manufacturing Company. File your claim with the
carrier.

practical. The crating will help protect the unit from the physical damage
normally associated with moving it through hallways and doorways.

Un-crating

by cardboard box and strapped to a skid. Remove the cardboard cover,

cut the straps and remove the wood frame.
