PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION This appliance is intended for use in commercial establishments only. This appliance is intended to prepare food for human consumption. No other use is recommended or authorized by the manufacturer or its agents. This griddle must be installed by a technician qualified and certified or licensed to install gas-fired equipment. A licensed technician must perform the initial startup and adjustment of this appliance.
INSTALLATION DANGER: Health Hazard This appliance must be properly ventilated. Failure to provide proper ventilation of exhaust gasses can result in severe injury and death. WARNING: Fire Hazard Do not store flammable or combustible materials near this appliance. The open flame of this appliance can cause such materials to ignite.
INSTALLATION GAS APPLIANCE CODE COMPLIANCE DANGER: The installation of gas piping from the outlet side of the gas meter or service regulator to the griddle must be performed by a technician qualified and certified or licensed to install gas-fired equipment. Fire and Explosion Hazard A licensed and qualified technician must perform the initial startup and adjustment of this appliance.
INSTALLATION Fire and Explosion Hazard NEVER use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Fire and explosion may result. IMPORTANT: All pipe joints must be checked for leaks before lighting. Leak checks should be performed with a soap and water solution. WARNING: Fire Hazard This griddle is supplied with a gas pressure regulator. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition. Flow arrow stamped on body of regulator must point toward the griddle.
INSTALLATION GAS PIPE PRESSURE TESTING The main piping system must be capable of supplying the griddle with sufficient volume/flow of fuel to satisfy the maximum operational input requirements. Make sure the supply piping system has been pressure tested before the regulator and griddle are connected. If the system must be re-tested, be sure the regulator is isolated by a manual shut-off valve, in order to prevent damage to the regulator and gas griddle valves.

Turn the knob on the safety valve to PILOT, press and hold until a flame can be established at the pilot burner. Repeat for each pilot. Caution must be taken to ensure that no raw gas is present in the surrounding area when attempting to place the Griddle into operation.
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface. A. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC). B. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface C. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until it smokes. D.

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down the unit at the main gas shutoff valve and contact your local gas supplier from a neighboring location. Follow the instructions received from the gas supplier immediately and exactly. WARNING: Fire Hazard NEVER attempt to force or repair a stuck control valve.
