The Garland clamshell grill is a semi-automatic cooking appliance. The upper platen is lowered automatically, following the 

manual, single-handed initiation of the cooking cycle, and raised automatically upon completion of the cooking cycle.
When two sided cooking, the area between the upper platen and the griddle plate should be regarded as a “danger zone”.Dur-

ing two sided cooking the operator must not be within this danger zone. When used as a flat grill, then this area is no longer 

a danger zone, the platens do not move. For whatever reason, be it cleaning, maintenance, normal operation, any exposed 

person must use extreme caution if within this danger zone. Temperatures on solid cooking surfaces are intended to operate 

above 120C (250F).
In two sided cooking the upper platen remains in the lowered position by nature of it’s own weight. It is not locked down. It 

can be raised by lifting of the handle on the front of the platen, which pivots the platen about its rear mounting point.
The clamshell grill must only be used for single and two sided cooking of foodstuffs in a McDonald’s store.

HAZARD�COMMUNICATION�STANDARD,�(HCS)�-

 The procedures in this manual include the use of chemical products. These 

chemical products will be printed in 

bold�face,

 followed by the abbreviation 

(HCS)

 in the text portion of the procedure. See 

the Hazard Communication Standard, (HCS) manual for the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(s), (MSDS).

WARNING:

 After turning the master power switch to the START position, the grill will go through an initialization process. If 

the upper platens are in the lowered position they will return to their raised upper position. 

MAINTENANCE

 - the platen support arms carriage block bearing bushes, the platen adjuster nuts, the platen support (shoulder) 

bolt and the cam follower should be checked annually for wear. Should there be any noticeable play in the bearing bushes and 

any visible wear on the platen adjuster nuts, platen support bolts or cam follower, then they must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE

 - the audible alarm that sounds at the end of a cook cycle is to advise the operator that the platen is about 

to move. The function of this device may be tested by pushing the left hand CANCEL button. If no sound is heard, ensure that 

the alarm volume is not set to low in SYSTEM SETUP. If there is still no sound then a service engineer should be called out to 

rectify the fault.

SERVICE�AND�CLEANING

 - The grill may be secured in the grill bay by the installer using two anchors that lock onto the front 

casters. If the grill is to be moved out of the bay for cleaning or service, remove the anchor from each caster by turning the knob 

counterclockwise to loosen the retainer. When the retainer is free of the caster, lay the assembly aside on the floor.

CLEANING

 - NEVER clean the grill, interior or exterior, using a high-pressure sprayer, water jet, or any other liquid sprayer.

NOTE:

 If anchors are present, the anchor assembly remains fastened to the back wall of the grill bay. After service or clean-

ing is complete, return the grill to its position in the bay and reattach the anchors by placing the retainer on the caster post 

and turning the knob clockwise to tighten. For safety reasons, the grill must be secured in the grill bay in this manner before 

operation can resume.
