Griddles mounted on stands with

casters must use a flexible connector (not
supplied) that complies with the Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI

Z21 . 69•CSA6 .16, and a quick -disconnect device that

com plies with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.3•CS A6.9. I n

addition, adequate means must be provided to limit
movement of the appliance without depending on
the connector and the quick-disconnect device (or
its associated piping) to limit appliance movement.
Attach the restraining device at the rear of the
griddle as shown in Fig. 6.

Fig. 6

Gas regulator pressure is preset at 5” Water Column (W .C.) for natural gas, and 10” W.C.
for propane gas. No further adjustment should be required.

Make sure that the arrow on the underside of the regulator is oriented in the direction of
gas flow to the griddle (Fig. 4) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and
adjustment screw upright (Fig. 5).

The supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9 ” W .C. for natural gas and
11-12” W .C. for propane gas. At no time should the griddle be connected to s upply
pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W. C.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When the gas supply pressure exceeds ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the griddle and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When the gas supply pressure is ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the griddle should be isolated
from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

FLUE CONNECTIONS

Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue slots, located around the outside
perimeter of the griddle. It is recommended that flue gases be ventilated to the outside of
the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum
cle a r a n ce of 18” must be maintained.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from

the standard for “Vapor Removal f rom Cooking Equipment”, NFPA N o . 96 (latest edition),

available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

OPERATION

The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating,

cleaning or servicing the griddle

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packing material and protective plastic from the surfaces of the unit. Before
leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor. Remove this
film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Heat the griddle
to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface by adding water or
a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial c l ean e r , follo wing the m a nuf acturer’s
directions. Scrape the oil residue from the plate with a griddle scraper. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE

Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every
cleaning. This will also help reduce the sticking of cooked food product. Heat griddle to a
low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil – about one ounce
per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire
griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the
procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.

CONTROLS

This model features a standing pilot that must be manually lit with an outside ignition
source (such as a lit taper, etc). The pilot is monitored by a thermocouple and pilot
safety valve. If the pilot goes out, the safety valve will shut-off the gas supply to the pilot
and main burner.

The griddle burner is controlled by an infinite heat control valve. Once the pilot is lit,
turning the burner control knob to the full ON position will light the burner. The burner
will be in the full ON position when the burner control knob is turned all the way to the
left. The burner will be in the OFF position when the burner control knob is turned all the

- 7 -

way to the right. The height of the burner flame and cooking plate temperature can be

1. Turn the main gas shut-off valve and
burner control knob to the OFF position.
Wait 5 minutes to allow any gas that
may have accumulated in the burner
compartment to escape.

2. Turn the main gas shut-off valve ON.

3. Depress and hold the safety valve
button while lighting the pilot. You will
have to reach under the front of the unit
to light with an outside ignition source
(such as a lit taper, etc.) while viewing
thru the pilot sight hole.

4. When the gas at the pilot has been

burning for about 45 seconds, release
the safety valve button. If the pilot does
not remain lit, repeat the operation
allowing more time before releasing
the button. The amount of time
necessary to hold the safety valve
button will increase at the initial
installation of the unit and if the main
gas supply has been turned off for a
long period of time. It may be
necessary to adjust the pilot valve to
increase gas to the pilot.

6. If after completing steps 1-4 pilot does
not light, turn off the main gas shut-off
valve and contact an authorized
service contractor.
