Infrared Griddle Components:

Infrared Griddle Plate Removal
The griddle plate rests on top of the unit frame. A rigid
drain spout is welded to the bottom front of the griddle
plate and leads down to the grease trap on the drip
pan. A channel is welded to the bottom of the griddle
plate into which the griddle thermostat bulb is inserted.
11" Griddle Plate with Riser - To remove an 11" griddle
plate from a unit with a riser, first remove the surface
burner pressed steel tops at either side of the griddle.
Then, lift the griddle plate until the front edge clears the
to of the roll front. Then, rotate the plate until the back
corner clears the face of the riser.
NOTE: Care should be taken at this time to avoid
scratching the roll top or riser.
Lift the griddle straight up until the drain spout clears
the unit frame. Now, tilt the griddle plate forward until it
is vertical and lift straight up to disengage the thermo-
stat bulb from the channel. (See Figure 3-11)
22" Griddle Plate with Riser - If the appliance is
equipped with a 22" griddle and a riser, the unit will
need to be pulled from its installation and the riser
removed in order to remove the griddle plate. Then, lift
the plate straight up until the drain spout clears the unit
frame. Now, tilt the griddle plate forward until it is verti-
cal and lift straight up to disengage the thermostat bulb
from the channel. (See Figure 3-11)
Infrared Griddle Orifice Removal
The orifice is located in the brass orifice elbow, which is
threaded into the orifice holder at the front of the burner
box.
NOTE: It is possible to access and remove the orifice
without lifting out the infrared burner box, but lifting the
box out first will make the task easier.
To remove the orifice, first remove the heat shield and
disconnect the gas line from the brass orifice elbow.
Then, unscrew the elbow from the orifice holder, and
extract the orifice from the elbow with wrenches. (See
Figure 3-12)
Infrared Griddle Burner Box Removal
After removing the griddle plate, extract the screw
securing the sparker bracket. Then, extract the screw
from the rear of the IR burner box. Extract the screws
from the heat shield/baffle and lift it out. Disconnect the
gas line from the brass orifice elbow and lift the burner
box out. (See Figure 3-13)
