INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF HEAVY DUTY GAS GRIDDLES GENERAL Heavy Duty Gas Griddles are produced with quality workmanship and materials. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your griddle will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
This griddle is Design Certified for installation on a non-combustible counter with 4” legs, or combustible floor with 25” high stand. INSTALLATION CLEARANCES Back: Right Left Side COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION 6” 6” 6” 0” 0” 0” INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS The griddle must be installed in accordance with: In the United States of America: 1. State and local codes. 2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition).
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.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 The minimum 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 hotplate be connected to supply pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C. OPERATION WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING. BEFORE FIRST USE Before leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor.
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. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface.
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. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency.
ADJUSTMENTS 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.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: THE GRIDDLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE GRIDDLE. LUBRICATION All valves and thermostats must be checked and lubricated periodically. Check with your Service Agency for details. VENT / FLUE Periodically, when the griddle is cool, check the flue and clear any obstructions. SERVICE AND PARTS INFORMATION Contact the Service Agency in your area to obtain service and parts information.
