DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Purchaser of equipment must post in a prominent location, detailed instructions to be followed in the
event the operator smells gas. Obtain the instructions from the local gas supplier.
!
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of main burner ignition
failure a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
!
CAUTION
Pilots, when out, do not interrupt the flow of gas to the burners. Consequently, it is the responsibility
of the operator to check the ignition of the burners, immediately after burner value has been turned
“ON”. Should ignition fail after 10 seconds, turn off burners, wait 5 minutes, and then try again.
!
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THE GRIDDLE TO BE USED FOR HEATING STOCK POTS.
SUCH USE AUTOMATICALLY VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
NEVER COOL THE GRIDDLE BY APPLYING ICE OR WATER TO THE GRIDDLE SURFACE.
DAMAGE DUE TO MISUSE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
DO NOT STRIKE THE GRIDDLE SURFACE WITH THE EDGE OF COOKING IMPLEMENTS TO
CLEAN THE IMPLEMENTS. SUCH ACTION WILL CUT AND PIT THE GRIDDLE PLATE, LEAVING
IT ROUGH AND HARD TO CLEAN.
ALWAYS HEAT THE GRIDDLE SLOWLY. DO NOT HEAT THE GRIDDLE ABOVE 550°F.
GRIDDLE OPERATION
Each 12"-wide griddle section has a thermostatic-control knob on the front panel that directly controls the
flow of gas, and so the heat. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the heat; turn it counterclockwise to
reduce the heat.
The griddle will take approximately 13 minutes to heat to 350°F.
Do not waste gas or abuse equipment by leaving control knobs set at a high temperature if not required.
During idle periods, set control knobs to low temperature settings to keep griddle warm.
After each period of use, allow the griddle surface to cool normally. At the end of each day’s use, turn all
control knobs to the “OFF” position. After the griddle has cooled, coat the griddle surface with a light film of
cooking oil to protect the surface from moisture.
