1. Installation Section
1.1. Checking Your New Griddle
Your new griddle has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that
your new griddle is delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each
of the pieces for damage. If something is damaged, Contact the shipper immediately; the shipper is only
responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your griddle to en sure that you
have received all the parts to the griddle. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the
griddle was purchased.
In the provided spaces on the cover of this manual, fill in the Model No., Serial No., and the date the
appliance was purchased. The Information is located on the data plate on the inside cabinet wall, see
Figure 1 below. Keep this information in a safe place so it can be referred to in the future.
Figure 1
1.2. Installation Clearances
Your new MagiKitch’n Griddle needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow
for servicing. The clearances shown below are for installation in combustible and non-combustible
construction. Ensure that all clearances stated on the data plate and in the clearance section of this
manual are strictly followed.

1.3. Installation Setup
To Start uncrate appliance and locate installation accessories shipped with the appliance.
1.3.1. Counter Use With Legs
CAUTION
To prevent equipment damage, DO NOT tilt
your MagiKitch'n griddle on only two legs, or
on its sides.
(See Figure 2) A set of 4” (10 cm) legs is
shipped with the appliance (unless appliance
was specifically ordered without legs). A
threaded receptacle is located near each corner
of the underside of the base of the appliance, on
appliances 48" (122 cm) and wider there are
threaded receptacles in the front and rear center
of the base. Each leg has a similar mating
thread. Raise appliance sufficiently to allow legs
to be screwed tightly into receptacles. The
appliance can be leveled by adjusting the feet at
the bottom of the leg assembly. This can be
done by turning the foot in or out to lower or
raise each corner as needed.
NOTICE
4" (10 cm) Legs should not to be used with
the optional Equipment Stand.
1.3.2. Counter Use Without Legs
Figure 2
(See Figure 3) The appliance must be sealed to
the counter to comply with applicable sanitation
standards. A bead of silicone sealant,
approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) wide, is to be
applied to the bottom of the unit approximately
¼” (0.6 cm) in from the front, back and side
edges. We suggest Dow Corning , GE or
Permatex silicone ‘RTV’ adhesive sealant or

improper performance of the appliance.
equivalent. (See NSF Basic Criteria C-2 for
details where applicable).
1.3.3. For Use On Optional
Equipment Stand
ATTENTION
Rear mounting brackets should be installed
to the Equipment Stand prior to placing
griddle on the stand.
CAUTION
Only two of the four supplied casters are
equipped with a locking feature. Install the
griddle so that the two locking casters are at
the front of the unit. The casters should be
LOCKED before the unit is placed into
operation.

MKE Series Electric Griddle
NOTICE
The larger units have 6 threaded receiving holes, but require only the four 1/2" bolts on each cor ner to
mount the griddle.
1. Remove (4) existing 1/4-20 nuts and bolts from the rear corners of the equipment stand.
2. Align the 2 bolt holes on the rear corners of the stand with the 2 bolt holes on the rear mounting brackets.
Orient the brackets as shown in Figure #4
on this page.
3. Install the provided rear mounting brackets
(2) to the rear corners by using the existing
1/4-20 hardware that were removed in step
1, tighten securely.
4. Carefully place the griddle on the
equipment stand.
5. Position the griddle so that the front edge of
the base is flush with the front of the
equipment stand. If the griddle is the only
appliance to be mounted on the stand, then
both sides of the griddle should be flush
with the sides of the equipment stand.
6. When positioned properly, the threaded
receiving holes in the griddle base should
be aligned with mating clearance holes at
the front of the equipment stand, and with
the clearance holes in the rear mounting
brackets. Install the provided 1/2" bolts and
tighten securely.
1.3.4. Leveling Instructions
NOTICE
Equipment stands are shipped from the
factory with the legs or casters set to “Zero”.
Units should be leveled at time of
installation, failure to do so could cause the
griddle to operate improperly.
1. Identify the end or corner of the stand that
needs to be raised, remove the weight load
from the caster or leg to be leveled.
2. Legs- using a wrench, or pliers turn the leg
bullet, See Figure 5, CCW to raise the
height of the equipment stand. There is ½”
to ¾” (1.3 – 1.9 cm) of adjustment.
Casters- (For Stands shipped after May
2006) Using a Flat Head screwdriver,
loosen the set screws of the caster to be
leveled, See Figure 5.Turn the collar of the
caster CCW to raise the height of the
equipment stand. There is ½” to ¾” (1.3 –
1.9 cm) of adjustment.
After leveling adjustment is complete, re-
tighten set screws.
3. Repeat Step 2 for legs or casters that require leveling.
4. Check the levelness of the equipment, if necessary Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.

1.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle or hard wired into a circuit that is
controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the appliance from being operated without the
ventilator on.
Have qualified professional connect the power supply to the terminal block(s), if a cord is not supplied,
according to their labeled leg (L1, L2, L3, ground and N as applicable). Access to the terminal blocks can
be gained by first removing the grease drawer, then removing the lower rear and front panels (order of
removal is shown in figure 7). This will require a Phillips head screwdriver and a 5/16 nut driver, wrench or
ratchet. Minimum gauge copper wire is noted on the data plate.
Figure 6 Figure 7
Connecting the appliance to the wrong power supply may damage the appliance and void
the warranty.
This appliance must be connected to a power supply having the same voltage and phase as
specified on the data plate located on the wall inside the grease drawer chute.
DO NOT attempt to connect the appliance to an electrical supply other then that indicated
on the data plate. Electrical connection should be performed by qualified personnel.
The electrical connection used by this appliance must comply with local codes. In the US, if
there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA
70 for installation in the US. In Canada, refer to CSA Standard C22.2 and local codes. In all
other cases
The appliance must be grounded in accordance with local code; in North America, if there is
no local code, comply with the NEC and ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition (for US and
Canadian installations). In all other cases, refer to local and national codes and regulations.
To comply with European requirements, European models are equipped with an
equalization-bonding clamp. An equalization bonding lead must be connected to this clamp
to provide sufficient protection against potential difference. This clamp, located on the rear
of the appliance is marked with the following universal symbol.
A country approved all pole circuit breaker with a minimum open contact gap of 3mm must
be used for proper installation. (CE countries)
refer to local and national codes and regulations.
