For your protection, we recommend that a qualied electrician install this appliance. The electrician

should be familiar with electrical installations and your local electrical requirements. The

external wiring should be in conduit or an approved type of exible cable and of suitable 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 hot plate should be
grounded (Do not ground to a gas supply pipe). The connections are made in this unit at the
pigtail leads located in the junction box on the back of the unit. To gain access to the pigtail
leads remove cover on junction box.

LOCATE 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.

LEVELING UNIT

Level unit by adjusting the (4) feet for accurate and perfect line up with other Toastmaster series units.

CAUTION

DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT FEET.

CAUTION

USE ONLY FLAT BOTTOM PANS AND POTS! DO NOT USE RAISED BOTTOM UTENSILS
OR BUCKETS! GOOD HEAT TRANSFER DEPENDS UPON GOOD CONTACT BETWEEN
THE ELEMENT AND POT.

NOTE: Using a 12” diameter or larger pan/pot may cause damage to the element or internal wiring.
Such damages are not covered by warranty. Two (2) heating elements are used. For the TMHPF each
element draws 2,600 Watts on 240 Volts and 1,950 Watts on 208 Volts. For the TMHPE element
draws 2,100 Watts on 240 Volts and 1,575 Watts on 208 Volts. Each element is controlled by an

innite position switch. The right control knob controls the rear cooking element and the left control

knob controls the front cooking element. On “HI” the element delivers uninterrupted full heat. Between
“LO” and “5” any desired amount of heat can be obtained between 6% and 60% of full heat.

Signal lights are provided above the control knobs to give a visual check if either one or both heating
units are turned on.
