INSTALLATION
TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT
Tools Required
• Standard set of hand tools.
• VOM with AC current tester.
NOTE: VOM sensitive of at least 20,000 ohms/volt
can be used.
Special
• Thermocouple type, griddle or surface mount,
temperature tester.
• 2 each, 8 inch long 4 x 4 wooden blocks.
LUBRICATION
1. Anti seezing coumpound
2. Penetrating oil
3. Finger Nail Polish
OPERATING CONTROLS
Thermostat
With the dial set to the desired setting, the temperature
of the griddle section is maintained. When the
operator turns the thermostat dial to OFF, electrical
power is removed from the heating unit. Each
thermostat controls a 12 inch wide section of the
griddle surface.
Indicator Light
A red light will energize automatically for each section
of the griddle when the thermostat is set, and will deenergize when the section has reached the thermostat
setting. The light will energize and de-energize during
the cooking operation to show that current
temperature is being maintained.
Generally, all installation are made by the dealer or
others contracted by the dealer or owner. Detailed
installation instructions are included in the "Installation
and Owners Manual" for the appropriate model.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
Detailed cleaning procedures are included in the
"Installation and Owners Manual" for the appropriate
model.

Verify Grease Chute does not raise past
the heater element panel. This helps prevent the top
from sliding to the rear.
Use 4 x 4, or greater, blocks to
support griddle top. Do NOT use 2 x 4 blocks as they
can tip over and lower griddle plate.
Fig. 1
3. Remove griddle plate assembly mounting bolts,
left and right side.
Fig. 2

SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
PROCEDURES
1. Clean temperature test section that is not
working. Center temperature tester surface
mount probe in center of thermostat probe. See
table for proper testing locations according to
griddle size.
NOTE: All readings taken 12" from front of griddle.
Griddle Size
24" 6", 18"
36" 6", 18", 30"
48" 6", 18", 30", 42"
60" 6", 18", 30", 42", 54"
72" 6", 18", 30", 42", 54", 66"
2. Set the thermostat to a temperature above
300°F.
3. Allow the thermostat to cycle three times.
4. Note the tester reading when the indicator light
turns ON and OFF.
NOTE: If the difference between the ON and OFF
temperatures is greater than 25°F, replace the
thermostat.
5. Add these two temperatures together, then
divide the sum by 2 to obtain an average
temperature.
A. If the average temperature is within 15°F of
the set temperature, the thermostat is
calibrated.
B. If the average temperature is not within 15°F
of the set temperature:
1) Remove thermostat knob.
2) Insert a flathead screwdriver into
thermostat dial stem until it reaches the
calibration screw.
Distance(s) From Left
Edge of Griddle

3) Turn adjustment screw CCW to
increase and CW to decrease
temperature.
Fig. 18
NOTE: A 1/4 turn equals 18°F change.
6. Replace knob and repeat steps 3 and 5 until
average temperature is within 15°F of set
temperature.
7. Reseal adjustment screw to prevent movement.
NOTE: Finger nail polish can be used to reseal screw
