WARNING: IN CASE OF FIRE
Disconnect the griddle from its power source IMMEDIATELY. Shutting down the electrical heating elements allows the unit to cool, making it easier to put out the fire.
WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE
OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS OR LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE
CAUTION
Use only a fire extinguisher filled with CO2, which is suitable for electrically powered equipment. Do NOT attempt to fight a grease fire by aiming the nozzle of the fire extinguisher directly at the burning grease. The force will cause the burning grease to be sprayed to adjoining equipment, making it difficult to contain the fire.
CAUTION
Using any parts other than genuine Toastmaster factory parts relieves the manufacturer of all liability.
IMPORTANT
Toastmaster (manufacturer) reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, improvements, additions or replacements for previously purchased equipment.

SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION
A. Features
Models:
•AM24SS, 24” (610mm) wide, two 12” (305mm) infrared heat panels
•AM36SS, 36” (914mm) wide, three 12” (305mm) infrared heat panels
Accu-Miser Series SS griddles are:
•Electrically heated by infrared emitter panels
•Temperature-controlled by solid-state thermostat
•Counter-top mounted
The Accu-Miser griddle employs infrared cooking technology. Infrared heat panels are located below the griddle plate. Each panel is 12” (305mm) in width, and provides uniform heat distribution across its surface.
A thermostatic solid-state controller for each panel accurately maintains the set griddle cooking temperatures for consistent and repeatable results. Each thermostat has a range of 150°F (83°C) to 450°F (232°C).
The individual controls and thermostat allow independent temperature settings for each panel. This feature divides the griddle plate into 12” (305mm)-wide zones that can cook different food products simultaneously.
