SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS

CALIBRATION

LEVEL

The griddle must be level (side-to-side and front-
to-back) during operation to ensure proper
performance. Improper leveling can result in
uneven temperature distribution, cold spots, and
possibly damage electrical components.

1.

Place a level on the griddle.

2.

Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom
of each leg. Using pliers or a crescent wrench,
turn the feet counter-clockwise to increase
height, and clockwise to decrease height until
leveling is achieved. Do not extend the legs more
than 1-¾”.

CALIBRATE

1.

Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the
griddle. Using a Surface Probe temperature
measurement device, observe the temperatures
at the center points of the cooking zones. These
points are located by starting 6” from the side
splash (left or right) and every 12” across the
width of the griddle, with all points located 12”
back from the front edge of the griddle plate.

NOTE: 

 Use of infrared thermometers is not

recommended. These devices are highly sensitive to
surface color (clean or dirty), angle of reading and
distance from the unit.

2.

Set thermostats to 350°F and allow to stabilize.

3.

Record the temperature tester readouts for each
zone for 

3 cycles

The temperature should be 350°F ±15°F. If not,
continue to next step.
