GAS CONVERSION
This griddle is equipped with xed orice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use on either
natural or LP gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orice hoods, located in the grease
drawer, (NAT orces are not included) as follows:
1. Remove front panel by removing screws located on the front and the bottom.
2. Remove the burner(s) from the orice hood(s). This is accomplished by removing the burner
mounting screw(s) and sliding the burner(s) off the hood(s).
3. Remove natural gas orice hood(s) and install the propane hood(s) furnished.
4. Reinstall burner(s).
Note: MD and TD series units use a #47 drill orice for natural gas and a #55 drill orice
for propane. TCHSD and TSPD series units (w/safety pilots) use a #41 drill orice for
natural gas and a #52 drill orice for propane gas.
5. Reinstall front panel.
6. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded, plug from the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and reinstall. The letters "LP or NAT" should now be visible on the plug. LP units the regulator is now
set for 10" (25.4cm) water column, and NAT units the regulator is now set for 6" (15.24cm) water
column.
7. For LP Gas, set manifold pressure to 10" (25.4cm) water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the supply
pipe can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the griddle is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal
until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the purpose shall be used in locating gas
leakage. Matches, candle ame, or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose.
Check entire piping system for leaks.

CAUTION
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
When griddle is rst lit, it will smoke until the preservation oils and impurities are burned off.
1. Turn off main valve to unit and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves.
3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.
4. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.
5. To turn burners off, turn knobs off.
NOTE: The griddles are equipped with standing pilots and should be lit immediately after
the gas is turned on.
Pilot ames can be lit and observed through the front panel view ports. However, best access for
lighting the pilot is from the bottom of the unit just behind the center wall.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS (TCHSD and TSPD SERIES)
1. Turn the control knobs to the "OFF" position.
If the gas valves have been on and gas has escaped through the burners, turn the burners
"OFF" and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn the control knob to the "PILOT" position, depress and hold the knob while lighting the pilot.
Hold the knob in for 60 seconds or until the pilot stays lit. (Repeat for all burner sections.)
3. Depress and turn the control knob to the desired temperature.
4. To turn the burners off turn the knob to the "PILOT" position.
5. To turn off all gas turn the knob to the "OFF" position. The pilots must be relit to resume cooking
settings.
PILOT LIGHT REGULATION
Adjust pilot light ames as small as possible, but high enough to light burner immediately when burner
valve is turned on high.
ADJUSTING SAFETY PILOTS (SERIES TCHSD and TSPD ONLY)
A manual pilot valve is provided on the left side of the control to adjust the pilot ame. Adjust the pilot
ame so that it is approximately 3/8 to 1/2" tall and a uniform cone shape.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS MD and MDS ONLY)
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.
3. Close the air shutter on the front of the burner to give a soft blue ame having luminous tips and
open to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue ame is obtained. Repeat for all
burners.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS TD, TCHSD and TSPD ONLY)
1. Remove the front panel.
2. Push dial in and set thermostat of one burner to 450°F (229.9°C).
3. Close the air shutter on the front of the burner to give a soft blue ame having luminous tips and
open to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue ame is obtained. Repeat for all
burners.
BURNER OPERATION (MODELS MD and MDS ONLY)
To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI" position. Each burner is controlled by an individual
high-low, on-off valve. An innite number of temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve
knob to any position between high and low. For overnight shutdown, turn the valves to the "OFF"
position.

CAUTION
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
(NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be
seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using, and after each thorough scouring, season the
griddle heating surface in the following manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F (174.9°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin lm of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface.
This lm should remain on the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another lm of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again remove
excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking
surface until griddle plate is "broken in."
COOKING (MODELS TD, TCHSD and TSPD ONLY)
Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature desired. After a short preheating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
GREASE PAN
A grease pan is located at the front and can be removed for cleaning from the front. This pan should
be checked and emptied when necessary.
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE PAN CONTAINING HOT
GREASE.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efciency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard
substance which is extremely difcult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions
for cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or exible spatula to remove excess grease and
food. A waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned on grease
and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone
while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers getting into
the food.
2. Daily-use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the
griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking
utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward, up and out.
GRIDDLE CARE (CHROMIUM AREAS)
It takes very little time and effort to keep this Chromium griddle surface sparkling clean and
performing at top efciency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will carbonize, becoming
difcult to remove. To prevent this condition the following cleaning suggestions should be followed.
1. Remove excess oil and food regularly with a 4" (100mm) wide Razor Sharp type scraper and wipe
surface with a damp cloth.
2. Following the scraping, a damp cloth and a non-silicated, non-abrasive, non-chlorinated cleaner
such as Bon-Ami may be used to wipe surface clean, followed by wiping with clean wet cloth.
3. Follow steps 2 and 3 from above section.
