Toastmaster ® GRIDDLE LIMITED WARRANTY All equipment manufactured by Toastmaster Commercial which is sold under the “Toastmaster” trademark and used for commercial purposes is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period runs 12 months from the original date of installation. This 12 month warranty period may not run beyond 18 months from the original date of purchase and is for the benefit of the original purchaser only.
IN CASE OF FIRE 1. De-energize griddle at disconnect switch. This will cut off power to the heating elements allowing griddle to cool. This reduces the flash point temperature making it easier to stop the fire. 2. Cover the affected area with a heavy blanket or canvas. Play the fire extinguisher nozzle over the blanket or cover to seal off air thus smothering the fire. CAUTION: Do not attempt to fight a grease fire by playing the nozzle of the fire extinguisher directly on the burning grease.
