   WARNING

ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH, THE OPERATION OF
COMMERCIAL COOKING EQUIPMENT.  HOWEVER, TO ASSURE YOUR CONFIDENCE,
CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR RELIABLE SERVICE, DEPENDABLE
ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCE, AND FOR GENUINE FACTORY PARTS.

NOTICE

The warranty will be void and the manufacturer relieved of all responsibility if…

(A) Service work is performed by other than a qualified technician, or

(B) Other than genuine Southbend replacement parts are installed.

Before making any adjustment, make sure the griddle is connected to the type of gas for which it is
equipped.  That information is on the serial plate, which is located on the inside of the control panel (see
Figure 1 on page 3).

MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE CHECK

The pressure regulator is connected to the griddle’s gas connection, outside the rear left corner of the
griddle.  The pressure regulator is factory set at 4” W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane.  To check
the manifold pressure, do the following:

1.

Turn all burner valves to “OFF” position.

2.

Turn main gas valve to entire griddle off.

3.

Remove front panel and locate 1/8” plug in manifold.  (Note that a 60" model has two burner
compartments, and so has two manifolds.)

4.

Remove plug and install a fitting appropriate to connect a manometer.

5.

Turn on main gas to griddle and light pilots (the procedure is described on page 20).

6.

Turn all burners to full “ON” position and read manometer.

7.

If manometer does not read 4” W.C. for natural gas (or 10” W.C. for propane gas), check the incoming
gas line for proper pressure.

8.

Remove manometer fitting and replace plug in manifold.

9.

Replace front panel.

10. Turn on main gas to griddle and light pilots.
