INSTALLATION
Always clean equipment thoroughly before the first use. Check rating label for your model designation and
electrical rating. For best results, use stainless steel countertops. Attach legs to units.
Uncrate the griddle and place it in the approximate operation location. Make sure no parts are discarded
with crating material Remove the bottom cover for wiring junction box access at the back of the griddle.
This griddle is wired for 208 volt or 230 volt service. Proper installation should comply with the attached
rating plate containing model number, serial number, voltage and amperage. Supply power wiring through
rear electrical knock-out to terminal block in junction box according to the National Electrical Code.. Test for
proper voltage supply. Return the bottom cover and mounting screws). Screw the legs into the permanently
fastened nuts on four corners of the unit
Set the griddle upright in the operating location.
Leveling: a slight incline from the front to the back may be desired to eliminate standing oil. Adjust feet
accordingly.
EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
The griddle is shipped with protective coatings of oil and/or grease. Remove the griddle plate coating just
prior to its first cooking use. If the griddle is to be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of clean
grease back over the griddle plate.
Wipe the remaining cabinet parts down with a hot, wet cloth to remove any shipping dust and protective oil.
Remove anything that may be in the grease drawer.

WARNING: This device should be safely and adequately grounded in accordance with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, Latest Edition to protect the user from electrical shock. It requires a
grounded system and a dedicated circuit, protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of proper
size and rating. Canadian installation must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.2, as applicable
!
!
CAUTION: Care must be exercised not to overheat the griddle plate on initial start-up by
setting the controls above normal operating temperature. Overheating may cause the
plate to warp and will carbonize the grease (this will cause sticking).
OPERATING SEASONING
A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the griddle is
porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is important to "season" or "fill up"
these pores with griddling "fat" before cooking on any metal surfaced griddle. Seasoning gives the surface
a slick, hard finish from which the food with release easily.
To season, heat the griddle to a low (300°F to 350°F) temperature and pour on a small amount of cooking
oil, about one ounce per square foot of surface. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to
create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like surface.
