INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION:
Cut the two plastic straps around shipping container and lift off top of container exposing griddle. Remove boards and
bottom of shipping container. Install the legs, shipped with griddle in a separate plastic envelope. To install legs, tilt
back and screw in two front legs. Mount rear legs by tilting unit forward.
*Inspect the griddle immediately for damage due to exceptionally rough handling during shipping.
Note:
Your griddle was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory and the carrier accepted and signed for it.
File any claims for shipping damage or irregularities directly with the carrier,
not with the company.
CAUTION:
Examine the gas specification label attached to the right hand side panel of the unit to be certain that the type of gas
for which the unit is equipped is the same as the supply available.
INSTALLATION:
This unit must be installed without alteration in accordance with these printed instructions a nd applicable codes, the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition), or the Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the
Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B 149.2 as applicable.
CAUTION:
The unit should not be operated without first installing the legs, and they should NOT BE REMOVED under any cir-
cumstances. Select a location and level unit by turning the leg adjustment screws (16) as indicated on the drawing.
The flue opening must not be obstructed in any manner and should not be connected directly to or near the intake of
a power exhaust system. The griddle comes equipped with a separate ¾” NPT Pressure Regulator (4" W.C. for
Natural Gas and 10" W.C. for Propane Gas). The regulator supplied must be installed directly to the manifold pipe
protruding from the rear of the unit. Insure that the regulator is installed so that the direction of gas flow matches the
direction of the arrow on the regulator body. A manual gas shut off valve should be installed between the gas supply
line and the regulator inlet. The size of the supply pipe to the griddle is very important for peak performance. Check
with your local gas company as to the proper pipe size. Use a pipe compound resistant to L.P. gases on all threaded
joints. Check for gas leaks with soap solution before attempting to light the griddle. Inspect the burners to see that
they are properly seated on the support bracket at the rear, and properly located on the burner orifices. The griddle is
now ready for lighting.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
These lighting instructions are to be followed for installation only. For normal operation, follow the simple instructions
on the gas specification label attached to the right hand side of the unit.
1.
Make sure burner valves are turned to "OFF" position.
2.
Turn on main gas supply valve to unit.
3.
Locate pilot light adjustment valve on gas manifold pipe opposite each pilot burner. Open valve by turning
adjusting screw counterclockwise and light pilot. Turn adjusting screw to obtain a 1 ½” flame.
Note:
When the unit is being lit for the first time it may take a little longer to light the pilot until the air is purged out of
the system.
4.
Turn burner valves counterclockwise to "ON" position to ignite burners.
5.
To turn unit off, turn burner valves clockwise to "OFF" position.
6.
To re-light unit, shut off all gas and wait five (5) minutes before re-lighting pilots.
7.
To completely shut down unit, turn burner valves to "OFF" position and close main gas valve.
WARNING: If the pilot(s) should become extinguished, turn off the main gas supply and vent the interior of
the griddle for five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
PREPARING GRIDDLE:
Peel off paper covering griddle plate.
The cooking surface is protected with a coating of petroleum jelly, which must be removed before the griddle can be
used.
To do this, turn all burners to fully "ON" position for 3 minutes or until the griddle plate has heated up enough to melt
the petroleum jelly. Immediately turn off all burners and use a cloth to wipe off as much petroleum jelly as possible.
Then wipe the cooking surface with a griddle cleaner, rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
TO SEASON
the griddle plate, pre-heat the griddle with all burners turned fully on for 3 minutes. Turn burners off and
spread a light film of unsalted cooking oil or shortening over the entire griddle surface. Allow to stand for 2 minutes
and then wipe clean. Repeat this process. Then thoroughly wipe off excess oil.
IMPORTANT:
Unless the product being cooked contains sufficient fat, the griddle surface must be seasoned
before each operation, and after each operation thoroughly cleaned.
Apply a light coating of cooking oil or shortening to the entire cooking surface. Your griddle plate is now ready for
normal operation.
