                        USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE   To preheat, wipe the griddle top plate with cooking oil and set the thermostats for the  desired temperatures 10-12 minutes before cooking.  A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent  product results.  REAR REAR REAR REAR FRONT FRONT FRONT FRONT     The griddle plate is a composite material which is engineered to provide a high heat  transfer rate to the food. The top surface is stainless steel and can be scored or dent

                        ONCE PER DAY  Thoroughly clean all stainless steel exterior  panels and surfaces. Clean the cooking surface  with a non-metallic scouring pad(Scotch-Brite).   See Fig. D.                       ONCE PER WEEK  Fig. D    Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. A mild detergent solution may be used on the plate  surface to help clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed by wiping down  with clear water.    After removal of detergent from the surface of the plate, the griddle should be c

                        MAINTENANCE   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.            LUBRICATION  There are no parts on this unit that require lubrication.

                          ASSEMBLY  Prior to assembly, make sure the    mounting bracket is the correct size. The  back bracket should match the width of    the griddle. Make sure the griddle top   electrical specifications match the  available service.  Each griddle top will    require its own separate electrical service.    1. Using (2) washers and (2) ¼”-28  bolts,  assemble one of the side mount  brackets to the back bracket as shown  in Fig. 1. The bolts should be hand  tightened only at this point. Repeat  proced

Check that the left and right mounting      brackets have not moved from position    while the assembly bolts were    tightened.    The “F” clamps should still  be in place to    prevent the assembly    Fig. 4  from moving while    drilling holes in the    chassis.         Check before drilling holes in chassis, it  is important that the assem

                          8. Drill the remaining holes through the    side mounting brackets into the griddle    chassis. Insert and tighten screws as    shown in Fig. 7. Repeat procedure for    the other side of the assembly.    9.  Drill holes with 5/32” bits from the rear of  the side mounting bracket into the back  mounting bracket and install wall spacer  with (4) 10-24 x ½” screws as shown in  Fig. 8.  Repeat procedure for the other  side of the assembly.    Fig. 7        Wall Spacer                        10. In

                                   It may be necessary to    angle the griddle and hang one of the    four legs off the edge of the table at a    time to complete step 11. Ensure that    the griddle is safely supported and this    step is accomplished with aid of a    second person.        11. Drill two holes with 5/32” bits through    bottom support brackets and into the    bottom of griddle chassis. Insert and    tighten 10-24 x 2” screws as shown in    Fig.10. Repeat as necessary for all bottom    support brackets.

                        14. Place cardboard or other protective         covering on the gas griddle surface to          prevent scratching.                                    15. Set electric griddle top down on the gas          griddle plate at desired mounting           position. Lower rear arm assembly into          place so that notches on arm engage    Fig. 13        mounting bracket rails as shown in           Fig. 13.                                            16.

                                                    17. Set lower mounting spacer in place.          Apply a thread locking compound to (2)     M10 hex bolts with lock washers. Insert    the bolts through the mounting spacer    and bracket. Thread into the mounting    plate (set into place in step 13) and    tighten.   See Fig. 15. Repeat process for    upper mounting point.

                                            The electric griddle top should  be securely attached to the mounting  brackets and raised in the locked 90°  position before proceeding.  Attempting  to install tension springs in lowered  position may cause damage.            TENSION SPRING INSTALLATION  Fig. 16                                     18. Raise the electric griddle top to the locked       90° position. Slide the springs onto the    tension rods and then the spring bracket.    The fin should be positioned at rea

                          20. Reinstall the tension rod cover and    tighten screws. Fig. 18           21. Check range of motion as shown in         Fig. 19.  The assembly should lock at the    90˚ and 47˚ positions. Assembly should    release from locked positions when    handles are squeezed together. Do not    force unit down, it should lower under its    own weight when the handles are    squeezed. The cooking surface of the    griddle top head assembly should just    lightly touch the griddle surface of the    bot
