INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC GRIDDLES GENERAL Heavy Duty Electric Griddles are produced with quality workmanship and materials. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your griddle will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
LEG ASSEMBLY Attach the legs to the body by threading the exposed leg stud into the threaded holes located on the underside of the unit. Tighten each leg so that the top face of the leg is pressed firmly against the body bottom. Do not operate griddle without legs or integrated stand as damage will occur. LEVELING Position the griddle in the desired location. Level the griddle by using a wrench to turn the adjustable feet.
Close Backwall, Rigid Conduit Electrical Connections 1. Lift the front of the griddle top only as far as necessary to gain access to the terminal box on the body’s inside rear. 2. Prop the griddle top up securely to prevent it from failing. Do not lift the griddle top too high, as thermostat and unit terminals may be damaged beyond repair. 3. Remove the fastener near the bottom of the terminal box and slide the enclosure up to expose knockouts. 4.
OPERATION The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the griddle. Disconnect power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures before cleaning and servicing the appliance. BEFORE FIRST USE Before leaving the factory, the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor. Remove this film when the griddle is being cleaned prior to its first use.
ZONE COOKING The D model griddles feature two tubular heating elements in each 12” section. The R and S models have one large element in each 12” section. Each section is controlled by an independent thermostat. Each 12” section is a separate cooking zone, and allows cooking a wide variety of products over a single griddle plate. The chart below is a suggested usage of zone cooking.
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing 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.
