Final Installation Steps - Magikitch'n MKG 24 Installation And Operation Instruction Manual

If pilot(s) extinguish or gas supply is interrupted, turn thermostat knobs and the gas shut off valve to the "OFF"
position and wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight.
SHUTTING DOWN, (Standard Gas Thermostat):
A. Turn thermostat knobs to the "OFF" position.
B. Turn gas shut off valve to "OFF" position.
C. Allow griddle surface to cool normally.
SHUTTING DOWN, (Matchless Ignition with Electric(-E) or Solid State(-M) Thermostats):
A. Turn thermostat knobs to the "OFF" position.
B. Turn "I/O" Switch to "O" position. Close manual gas valve shut off(optional).
C. Allow griddle surface to cool normally.

FINAL INSTALLATION STEPS:

New griddles should be carefully tempered and cared for in order to avoid possible damage. To break in a new griddle, do the
following:
A. Ensure that a proper installation has been performed on the appliance and that all warnings, cautions, and notices
contained in this manual have been read, understood and adhered to before proceeding.
B.
Wipe the griddle surface clean.
C.
Light all the griddle burners and turn them to 200°F for one hour. Then, gradually bring each griddle up to frying
temperature.
D.
Spread three or four ounces of beef suet, or as a substitute, baking soda, over griddle plate to season it. Never allow
water on a hot griddle and never wash it with soap and water.
E.
Check (and, if necessary, adjust) the thermostats that control the griddle's surface temperature.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT PRODECURE:
Each control operates a pair of burners via a snap action thermostatic valve. This control was adjusted at the factory. However,
if the griddle's surface temperature varies greatly from the setting on the thermostat knob adjust the thermostat using the
following procedure:
A. Light pilots per lighting instructions.
B.
Turn al the control knobs to the 300°F setting.
C.
Wait 30 minutes (or 1 hour if griddle was cold) for surface to stabilize.
D. Place a reliable thermometer or test instrument thermocouple (able to register 300°F) halfway back from the front to
the back of the griddle plate and directly over a burner set (Burner set can be viewed through the top of the front
panel). Check the temperature over each burner set every 5 minutes until the temperature over each burner set
stabilizes and does not change by more than 30°F between two consecutive measurements.
E. If the average temperature over any burner set is not within +/-15°F of the knob setting (300°F), adjust the
corresponding thermostat by removing the knob, holding the thermostat stem (do not allow stem to turn or
temperature setting will be changed) then turning the adjustment screw located within the center of the stem. Turn this
screw counter clockwise to increase the temperature, clockwise to decrease the temperature.
F. For Solid State units, carefully loosen the set screw on the thermostat knob, remove knob, rotate the indicator line of
the knob to align with the temperature mark on the thermostat label. The temperature mark will be the average
temperature the griddle is operating at during the calibration. Example, If average temperature of your previous
readings is 325°F, then align the knob indicator line to the corresponding line on the temperature label Re-tigthen set
screw on the thermostat knob.
