Page 7: Gas Pressure Regulator Installation
After checking for leaks all lines receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air. 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... -
Page 8: Operation
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 surface s 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. - Page 9 This model features an electric ignition system that is controlled by a momentary power switch. The power switch turns the electric ignition system o ff and on only and will only supply power to the igniters when held down in the ON position. The burners and pilots will continue to work with power switch in the OFF position until the gas supply to the unit is cut off or the griddle gas shut -off valve is turned to the OFF position (Fig.

Page 15: Using The Griddle
USING THE GRIDDLE To preheat, turn the burners on about 20-25 minutes before cooking. A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results. The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. -
Page 16: Cleaning The Griddle
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once daily. Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. - Page 17 CLEANING THE OPTIONAL CHROME GRIDDLE PLAT E COOKING SURFACE AFTER EACH USE Clean the griddle cooking surface regularly with a palmetto brush and a bladed griddle scraper during the work shift. Never use an abrasive scouring pad or griddle brick on a chrome plate surface. The chrome surface can be damaged by careless use of a spatula or scraper.

Page 19: Leveling
LEVELING The griddle must be level (side-to-side and front-to-back) during operation to ensure proper performance. Improper leveling can result in uneven temperature distribution, cold spots, and possibly damage electrical components. 1. Place a level on the griddle. 2. Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Using pliers or a crescent wrench, turn the feet counter-clockwise to increase height, and clockwise to decrease height until leveling is achieved. -
