Section 6Operating Procedures
The three platen Model L811 has been selected to
illustrate the step-by-step procedures. For grills
equipped with less than three platens, perform the
following steps as appropriate for your grill platen
configuration.
Daily Opening Procedures
Before operating the grill, the release sheets must
be installed on the upper platens. The release
sheets are reversed and rotated on a daily basis
(black side vs. gray side.)
Perform the following steps for installing release
sheets:
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is COOL
before attempting to install or remove release
sheets.
Step 1
Slide the release sheet retainer through the hemmed
end of the release sheet.
Step 2
Hook the release sheet retainer on the release sheet
shoulder screws at the top of the upper platen.
Figure 12
Step 3
Hold the non-hemmed end of the release sheet.
Gently pull the sheet tight, wrapping it around the
platen in a side-to-side manner.
Figure 13
Note: Check the alignment of the release sheet and
Figure 11
Model 811, 813, 819, 821 SeriesOperating Procedures
make sure it fits smoothly over the upper platen.
130206
17
Step 4
Place the release sheet clips over the release sheet.
Press them into place over the release sheet bar at
the top of the platen.
Figure 14
Step 5
Check the tightness of the release sheet against the
upper platen.
Step 6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining upper
platen(s).
Note: Temperature checks should only be
conducted with the release sheets removed.
Replace the release sheet when:
SCleaning procedures fail to remove all
buildup and product sticks to the release
sheet.
SA tear appears in the cooking area of the
release sheet, causing product to stick to the
release sheet.
Figure 15
Note: Installing the release sheets too tightly may
cause p remature failure of the sheet.
Figure 16
CAUTION: The upper platen surface and
release sheet are very hot. To prevent burn
injuries, wear heat-resistant gloves when
replacing the release sheets.
Note: It is not necessary to change the release
sheet if small pin holes develop on the sheet.
