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.

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 .
