  • Page 8 NSTALLATION Step 2a: Installation on Countertop Legs To install the griddle using countertop legs, do the following: 1. Locate the box of four legs shipped with the griddle (if countertop legs were ordered). 2. Raise the griddle about 6" so that the legs can be screwed into the bottom near the corners. Lift the griddle only from the ends, never from the middle! Support the lifted griddle so that it will not fall while you are attaching the legs.
  • Page 9 OUNTER RIDDLE Step 2b: Installation Directly on a Non-Combustible Countertop Surface The griddle may be installed directly onto a flat NON-COMBUSTIBLE surface, as follows: 1. Place the griddle in the position that it will be used. Lift the griddle only from the ends, never from the middle! 2.
  • Page 10 NSTALLATION Step 2c: Installation on Insulated Base The griddle may be installed onto a flat NON-COMBUSTIBLE (but heat sensitive) surface using the optional insulated base, as follows: 1. Attach the side pieces of the insulated base (items “A” in Figure 5 below) to the front piece (item “B”) using the four sheet metal screws provided.
  • Page 11 OUNTER RIDDLE Step 2d: Installation on Floor Stand (24", 36", and 48" Models) The 24", 36", and 48" griddles may be installed on top of an optional floor stand (for 60" griddles, go to Step 2e on page 13). The floor stand is shipped in a separate crate and must be assembled, as follows: 1.
  • Page 12 NSTALLATION Figure 7 7. Check the partially assembled stand to make sure that the legs are straight and that all corners are square. Now tighten all bolts, but do not over tighten. 8. If legs with casters were ordered, lift the stand and screw the caster assemblies into the bottom of the legs.

  • Page 19: Operation

    OUNTER RIDDLE PERATION Purchaser of equipment must post in a prominent location, detailed instructions to be followed in the event the operator smells gas. Obtain the instructions from the local gas supplier. To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of main burner ignition failure a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
  • Page 20 PERATION LIGHTING THE PILOTS If one or more of the burners does not ignite, check that the pilot(s) are lit. The controls for the pilots are located on the front of the griddle, behind the lower front panel door (see Figure 12 on page 20). To light the pilot(s), do the following: 1.

  • Page 23: Pilot Flame Adjustment

    OUNTER RIDDLE PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT The pilots are adjusted at the factory. If later the pilots are over-adjusted to the point where the flame is leaving its port, or “blowing off,” the result is an unstable condition in which the pilot may extinguish. If necessary, adjust each burner’s pilot using the following procedure: 1.
  • Page 24: Thermostat Adjustment

    DJUSTMENTS THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT Each burner’s control knob operates a snap-action thermostatic valve that was adjusted at the factory. If the griddle surface temperature is different from the thermostat dial setting, adjust the valve using the following procedure: 1. Turn all the control knobs to the 300°F. 2.
  • Page 25 OUNTER RIDDLE CONVERSION FROM ONE TYPE OF GAS TO ANOTHER Each griddle is shipped equipped for use with either natural gas or LP gas (propane).
