LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS (TCHSZ & TSPZ
SERIES)

1. Turn the thermostat knob(s) and pilot valves to

"OFF" position.  CAUTION: If gas valves have
been on and gas has escaped through the burners,
turn unit off and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.

2. Turn on pilot valve, depress and hold reset button,

light pilot, hold reset button for 60 seconds or until
pilot stays lit (repeat for all pilots).

3. Set thermostat(s) to desired temperature.
4. If burners do not light repeat steps 1 through 4.
5. Turn off thermostats and pilot valves for complete

shutdown.

PILOT LIGHT REGULATION

The pilots on this griddle have been turned off at the
factory. Adjust pilot light flames as small as possible, but
high enough to light burner immediately when burner
valve is turned on high.

ADJUSTING SAFETY PILOTS (SERIES TCHSZ
& TSPZ ONLY)

A rotor valve is provided to manually adjust pilot flame
size.  "OFF" and "ON" positions are indicated on valve.
By slowly turning the adjustment knob, a desirable
pilot flame can be obtained.

BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS 615MZ,
624MZ, 636MZ, and 648MZ ONLY)

1. Turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.
2. Slowly decrease opening of air shutters to give a

soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly
increase openings to a point where the yellow tips
disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS 615TZ,
624TZ, 636TZ,  648TZ, TCHSZ & TSPZ ONLY)

1. Push dial in and set thermostat of one burner to

450°F (229.9°C).

2. Observing flame through lighting hole, close the air

shutter to give a soft blue flame having luminous
tips and open to a point where the yellow tips
disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained. Repeat
for all burners.

BURNER OPERATION (MODELS 615MZ,
624MZ, 636MZ, and 648MZ ONLY)

To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI"
position. Each burner is controlled by an individual
high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of
temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner
valve knob to any position between high and low.

OVERNIGHT SHUTDOWN

Turn knobs to the off position to turn burners off.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING
SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle
has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned to
prevent food from sticking. Before using, and after
each thorough scouring, season the griddle heating
surface in the following manner:
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 350°F

(174.9°C).

2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film

of cooking oil or fat over the griddle cooking
surface.  This film should remain on the hot griddle
surface 1/2 hour.

3. Remove excess fat and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot

cooking area for another 1/2 hour, and again
remove excess fat and wipe clean.  The griddle
surface should now be ready for use.

Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent,
stick to the griddle cooking surface until griddle plate
is "broken in."

COOKING (MODELS 615TZ, 624TZ, 636TZ,
648TZ, TCHSZ & TSPZ  ONLY)

Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature
desired. After a short preheating period, the thermostat
will automatically maintain the selected temperature.

GREASE PAN

A grease pan is located at the front and can be
removed from the front for cleaning. This pan should
be checked and emptied when necessary.

CAUTION

EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE
GREASE PAN CONTAINING HOT GREASE.
