INTRODUCTION

The high performance Market Forge 2’, 3’ and 4’ Purr-fect Height Electric Steam Shell Griddles and Steam Griddles
create a new class of steam cooking equipment. More heat is delivered per square inch than any other griddle and assures
food safety. Additionally, steam is injected into the cooking compartments. This technology allows the food to be cooked
from both sides, dramatically decreasing cooking times and allowing for broader menu items. These items include sea­food, stir-fry, vegetables and pork. With the glass window in the cooking lids, food can be observed while cooking.

INSTALLATION

GENERAL: Once the unit is installed it must be elec-

trically grounded and comply with local codes, or in the
absence of codes with the National Electrical Code ANSI
NFPA 70-1999. Installation in Canada must comply with
CSA Standard C22. NO. 109-M1987.

CLEARANCES: Allow at least a three in clearance be­tween the back of the unit and any wall obstruction for
proper ventilation, room for plumbing and electrical con­nections. The ventilation opening on the back of the grid­dle must have access to cool air. Griddle needs to be placed
on a level surface to provided ultimate performance. A non­level unit could lead to heating element damage.

THIS PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. DAMAGE WILL
VOID WARRANTY!

All griddles are shipped with a de-scaling filter. Installing
the de-scaling filter according to the manufacturers instruc­tions. See manual included with de-scaler. If de-scaler filter
is not included with the griddle when shipped, contact the
factory. Failure to use approved de-scaler system may void
warranty.

WATER CONNECTION:

Connect to cold waterline, 1/4” tubing. DO NOT CONNECT
TO HOT WATER SOURCE! Waterline pressure should be
30 PSI minimum. Recommended 1/4” stainless steel braided
hose for water supply line. Dp not use transparent water tub­ing. Connect 1/4” tubing to drain fitting and run to drain loca­tion.

Electrical supply to unit must conform to the National Electrical Codes. See appliance nameplate for service requirements.
For proper connection of field wiring to junction box, see the wiring diagram on page 4-53. Make sure the input voltage
and phase match the requirements shown on the serial plate. (The serial plate is located on the rear of the grill cabinet.)
NOTE: Depending on the model of the griddle it may require two power sources. DO NOT ALLOW ANY TAMPERING
OR ADJUSTMENT OF ANY CONTROL OR WIRING. THE UNIT IS FACTORY SET AND ADJUSTMENT OF ANY
INTERNAL COMPONENT OTHER THAN THE JUNCTION BOX CAN VOID WARRANTY.
