GENERAL INSTALLATION DATA

This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and

experienced in its operation and is not sold for consumer use in and around the home nor
for use directly by the general public in food service locations.

Before using your new equipment, read and understand all the instructions & labels

associated with the unit prior to putting it into operation. Make sure all personnel associated
with its use understand the units operation & safety before operation.

All shipping containers should be checked for freight damage both visible and concealed.

This unit has been tested and carefully packaged to insure delivery of your unit in perfect
condition. If equipment is received in damaged condition, either apparent or concealed, a
claim must be made with the delivering carrier.

Concealed damage or loss - if damage or loss is not apparent until after equipment is

unpacked, a request for inspection of concealed damage must be made with carrier within
15 days. Be certain to retain all contents plus external and internal packaging materials for

inspection. The carrier will make an inspection and will supply necessary claim forms.

INSTALLATION

For your protection, we recommend that a qualifi ed electrician install this appliance.
The electrician should be familiar with electrical installations and your local electrical requirements.
Proper connections and power supply are essential for effi cient performance. The supply circuit
should be properly fused as required by local electrical code.

Plug into 110-125V A.C. outlet that has line of suffi cient capacity to operate griddle. Check
wattage and voltage on the nameplate. Slow performance will indicate the griddle is connected
to a line of insuffi cient capacity or to one already loaded to capacity. DO NOT plug into a 240V
line unless you ordered a 240V griddle. Doing so will damage the element very quickly and
void the warranty. If this appliance does not heat, check your plug and your wall receptacle
for loose connections or blown fuses.

INITIAL START UP

Before using the unit for the fi rst time, wipe down the exterior and platen area with a damp
cloth. Heat for approximately 30 minutes. The warmer may emit a small amount of smoke
as the cooking surface reaches its operating temperature. Do not be alarmed, as the smoke
is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing process and will stop when the burn off
is complete. Brush off any debris from the warming surface.

SEASONING THE TORTILLA GRILL HEATING SURFACE

FIRST TIME SEASONING

Follow your company/corporate guidelines for seasoning cooking surfaces or perform the
following:

1. Bring the grill to 300°F (148°C) and leave it on while performing the next three steps.

2. Brush the cooking surfaces with a release agent. If using an aerosol agent,
fi rst apply into a cup and then brush onto cooking surface.

3. Let sit for 20 minutes.

4. Wipe the cooking surface clean, using a warm damp cloth.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature is controled by a dial knob that maintains the heat at a range of 150°F to
450°F (65.5°C to 232°C).

PLATEN AND SHEET METAL SURFACES ARE HOT DURING OPERATION AND

CAUTION

CAN CAUSE BURNS. CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN USING THIS
EQUIPMENT.
