USE CAUTION WHEN LEAVING AN OPERATING
MOTORIZED CONTROL UNATTENDED.
ALTHOUGH UNLIKELY, RANDOM SONIC SOUNDS
COULD SIGNAL THE ULTRASONIC RECEIVER AND
ACTIVATE THE VALVE — LOWER KNOB ‘B’ COULD
ROTATE AND CAUSE THE MAIN BURNER TO COME ON,
OR THE FLAME HEIGHT TO ADJUST.

WARNING
PREPARATION
Transite Stone Break-In Procedure:
If the oven is configured as a Pizza Oven, the racks used are
called transite stones. These stones will naturally draw moisture,
and will crack if not properly treated.
WARNING: DO NOT clean stones with high abrasion brushing or
water as they may crack! Liquids should NEVER come in contact
with the stones! Wipe clean with a dry rag!
INSTALLING THE TRANSITE SHELVES:
1. Once the oven has been properly installed, slide the stone into
the guide.
2. To minimize warpage and maximize the life of the stones, it is
strongly recommended that they be predried. First, preheat the
stones with the pilot burner on for one hour. Then over a five
hour period gradually increase the temperature 100 degrees
an hour to achieve baking temperature, then allow one hour to
elapse to complete the procedure.
3. A slight odor and outgassing may occur during the initial
heat up. This is normal as the stones are adjusting to their
environment.
4. The stones should be reversed periodically to equalize wear.
5. DO NOT wedge stones together! The stones must be installed
un-restrained with approximately 1/8” joint space for every 24”
of deck to allow for expansion. Mechanically fastened stones or
those installed tightly are subject to cracking!
GRIDDLE PLATE/BROILER OPTION
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
IMPORTANT: A rust inhibitor has been coated on the griddle
surface to protect it during shipment and storage. This rust
inhibitor MUST be removed front the griddle plate prior to placing
the unit in service.
1. Wash thoroughly with a mild detergent and rinse with ample
clean water.
2. Thoroughly dry the griddle plate with a soft rag, then place it
securely on the body, with front of trough under plate rest on F
Series.
3. Cover plate with table salt and satuate with cooking oil.
4. Light burners. Adjust the flame to the lowest setting possible.
Maintain a low flame setting for one hour.
5. Allow the plate to cool, then wipe off residue with a clean cloth.
GRIDDLE OPERATING SUGGESTIONS & CAUTIONS:
• Always allow sufficient time to ensure that the temperature
of the plate is up to the desired temperature before using.
• NEVER over heat the griddle plate and always reduce the
temperature during idle periods.
• Always clean griddle plate after use and coat plate with a
light coat of cooking oil.
• For cleaning, griddle pads and griddle bricks may be used
on steel plates ONLY.
• As a sanitary and safety precaution, always keep the
grease drawer clean and empty.
• If griddle plate is placed in storage, cover and store in a
dry location. If stored for any length of time, saturate plate
with a coat of lard to prevent rusting.
OPEN TOP BURNER OPERATION:
9 & 10-11 SERIES (Non-Certified Equipment)
If your new Comstock-Castle Counter Griddle contains an open
top burner section, the unit is referred to as a “Combination
Griddle”. This unit will be configured with a cast iron burner base
that incorporates a stainless steel or aluminum burner ring.
FOR PROCEDURES REFERENCE THESE SECTIONS:
• STANDING PILOT LIGHTING
• STANDING PILOT ADJUSTMENT
• BURNER ADJUSTMENT
BROILER OPERATION - 9 & 10-11 SERIES (Non-Certified)
If your new Comstock-Castle Counter Griddle contains a Broiler/
Griddle combination, the unit is referred to as a “Combination
Griddle”. This appliance is identified by the letter “B” following the
model number. Unlike the standard griddle model, this unit will be
equipped with one or more burners fitted with a specially designed
flame spreader. This flame spreader directs heat down for broiling
purposes.
MANUALLY OPERATED BROILER/GRIDDLE:
When broiling is desired, turn the manual control completely
counter-clockwise for initial power up. Always reduce the setting,
to a lower operating temperature after the initial high heat setting.
Operating the unit at this high heat setting for longer than 15
minutes could discolor the griddle top.
Always remember when heat is applied to the broiler, heat is
also being applied to the griddle plate.
ALL BROILER VALVES WILL NEED TO BE REGREASED
DUE TO HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES.
