INSTALLATION CLEARANCES COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION Back: Right Left Side INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS The griddle must be installed in accordance with: In the United States of America: 1.
Casters are only supplied on a griddle stand. If the griddle is moved for any reason the griddle should be re-leveled (see LEVELING in this manual). FLUE CONNECTIONS Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue, located at the rear 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.
the griddle (Fig. 1) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and adjustment screw upright (Fig. 2). Fig. 1 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 supply pressure greater than ½...
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first use, and after every cleaning. 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.
900RX PILOT LIGHTING PROCEDURE 1. Turn all thermostats to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes to allow any gas that may have accumulated in the burner compartment to escape. 2. Turn on the main gas shut-off valve. 3. Push the power switches to ON. The switches will illuminate and you will hear a “clicking” sound. 4.
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.
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.

CALIBRATION 1. Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the griddle. Using a Surface Probe temperature measurement device, observe the temperatures at the center points of the cooking zones. These points are located by starting 6” from the side splash (left or right) and every 12” across the width of the griddle, with all points located 12”...
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.
