CAUTION
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. For equipment to be used by the
general public, please contact the factory.
INSTALLATION
The griddles are equipped for the voltage indicated on the nameplate mounted on the front
panel. They will operate on alternating current (AC) only.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).
The installation of the electric griddle should conform to the:
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES AND
ORDINANCES AND THE LOCAL ELECTRIC COMPANY RULES AND
REGULATIONS
For your protection we recommend that a qualifi ed electrician install this griddle. He
should be familiar with electrical installations and all electric codes. Proper connections
and power supply are essential for effi cient performance. The external wiring should be
in conduit or an approved type of fl exible cable suitable for operation at the temperature
indicated on the wiring diagram, and of a proper size to carry the load. The supply circuit
should be properly fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting, as required by
local electrical code. THE BODY OF THE GRIDDLE SHOULD BE GROUNDED (DO NOT
GROUND TO A GAS SUPPLY LINE).
GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
The Ultra-Max series electric griddles may be wired for operation in the fi eld for either 1-phase
or 3-phase power supplies by making line connections at the junction box(es) located at the
rear of the unit. Models 724T-230/400V, 736T-230/400V & 748T-230/400V, should be wired for
3-phase power supply only. Two junction boxes are provided on the 760T & 772T for making
line connections.
CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
Detach cover on junction box at rear of unit. There is a terminal block for the supply connection
in the junction box. Wires can be rerouted in the terminal block for 3phase hook-up. See wiring
diagrams and model voltage on unit panel
LOCATING AND LEVELING THE UNIT
Do not install the unit closer than 1-inch from a side wall and/or closer than 1-inch from a rear
wall. Make sure the unit is properly ventilated. Level unit by adjusting the (4) feet which have
an adjustment of 1-3/4” (43.75mm) for accurate leveling and perfect line-up with other UltraMax series units.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE
Before initial use, clean the griddle surface thoroughly with hot soap and water. See Griddle
care on page 4 for further information. 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. Remove any shipping material from the cooking surface and thouroughly clean the entire
grill with hot soap and water.
2. Turn temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).
3. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, brush a thin fi lm of cooking oil over the griddle cooking
surface. This fi lm should remain on the hot griddle surface for half an hour.
4. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
5. Apply another fi lm of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another half 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 the griddle plate is broken in.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF” switches and thermostats. Turning the
dial knob automatically maintains the selected heat range.
The Ultra-Max electric griddle line has one thermostat for every 12” (30cm) section of griddle
that operates independently of one another. Each thermostat controls the section of the griddle
above it and may be set at different temperatures as desired.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature desired. After a short pre-heating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods, to save on operating costs, lower the temperature setting of the thermostat
to about 250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain cooking temperature during idle periods,
as the griddle can quickly be reheated to the desired temperature.
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Each thermostat has its own signal light which indicates when the unit’s control knob is in the
on position. Cooking surface will be hot when the control knob is in this position.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHOME SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top effi ciency.
If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a
hard substance which is extremely diffi cult 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 fl exible spatula to remove excess
grease and food. A waste drawer is provided for the drippings. If there is an accumulation
of burned on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned.
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 a 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 drawers are removed by pulling forward until they are released from
their track.

GRIDDLE CARE (CHROME SURFACES)
(Chrome surface griddles are marked with “CHS” at the end of the model number designation on
the nameplate.) It takes very little time and effort to keep this Industrial Chrome griddle surface
sparkling clean and performing at top effi ciency. DO NOT allow grease to accumulate as it will
carbonize and become diffi cult 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 if desired.
2. Following the scraping, for end of the day cleaning, 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 Griddle Care (Non- Chrome Surfaces).
CAUTION
ON CROME SURFACES:
1. Never use pumice, griddle stones, or abrasives on the surface.
2. Never strike the griddle surface with a sharp instrument or spatula edge.
3. Never use steel wool.
4. Never use commercial liquid grill cleaner on the griddle surface.
5. Abusing the surface voids the warranty.
GREASE DRAWER
A grease drawer is located at the front can be removed for cleaning by pulling drawer forward.
This drawer contains hot grease and should be checked and emptied when necessary or at
least once a day.
CAUTION
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE DRAWER
CONTAINING HOT GREASE.
