OPERATION
Loading the Griddle
An understanding of how the griddle sections are controlled will be a valuable aid in loading your
griddle.
Each 12” inch section of your griddle is independently controlled by a thermostat. The thermostat’s
sensor is mounted in the center of each cooking section under the griddle plate.
If the product is loaded directly over the probe, that section will turn on and the burner will heat the
entire 12” section. If the product is loaded to the side, front or back of the thermostat sensor, the
thermostat will react to the temperature change much slower.
During slow periods with minimal loads, do not load directly over the thermostat sensor as this will
unnecessarily turn the burners on and overheat the remainder of the section not being utilized.
Turn the product and continue cooking until it has reached its desired degree of doneness.
Remove the product from the griddle.
When reloading the griddle, first use the griddle surface on which a previous load was not placed.
This will insure you the proper griddle temperature.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Power On
When the griddle is connected to 115 Volt power, the spark module for each section starts sparking.
While they are sparking the solenoid valve for the pilot burners are energized.
When the individual pilot burners ignite, and the pilot flame is verified, the spark module will stop
sparking.
Note:
The pilot burners will remain lit until the griddle is removed from power or the gas is shut off.
When the main switch is turned on, 24 Volts is applied to the temperature control circuit.
When one of the individual section’s switch is turned on, it provides power to the circuit board for that
section.
The operator can now set the temperature of that section by selecting it on the temperature dial.
When the temperature on the dial is set higher than the temperature of the griddle section the circuit
board will generate a “Heat call”. This call (24 VAC Signal) goes to the solenoid valve opening the
valve. The pilot burner ignites the main burner.
When the griddle section reaches the temperature set on the selector switch, the circuit board which
monitors the probe resistance will turn off the heat call and there by close the gas valve.
When the griddle temperature drops below the set temperature the circuit board generates a new
heat call and the sequence repeats.
