Operation of Standard (Non-Thermostatic) Griddle Sections
Each control knob can be turned to OFF, or any postion in the
range from LOW-to-HIGH.
To start cooking, turn the control knob to HIGH. Check that the
burner ignites. The gas does NOT automatically shut off if
the burner does not ignite! If the burner does not ignite, check
and/or light the pilots (see procedure at right). When the burner
is hot, the burner flame should appear blue and steady (some
slight yellowing of the flame tips may occur when using propane
gas).
Always remember to heat the griddle slowly because quick
heating may cause costly damage. Never place utensils on the
griddle.
Do not waste gas and abuse equipment by leaving the
griddle on HIGH all the time. Damage to the griddle and
certain electronic components may occur, and MAY VOID
YOUR WARRANTY. During idle periods, turn the control to
LOW to keep the griddle warm. (Do not allow the griddle to
overheat above 550°F (288°C), as this will cause warping or
breakage.)
When necessary while cooking, pull out and empty the grease
drawer.
When done cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to OFF.
(The pilot should remain lit).
Each griddle section up to 36” wide, has a single pilot that is lit
using a spark ignitor push button (if equipped) or a long match
inserted thorough a hole in the front valve panel. (A 48”-wide
griddle has two pilots.) To light the pilot, do the following:
1. Check that all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not already
on).
3. Push spark ignition button for approximately 10 seconds.
4. Verify pilot is lit by looking through site hole in valve
panel. If spark ignition system is faulty, light pilots manually.
5. Pilots are lit manually by inserting a long match (at least 11”
long) or pilot-lighting device straight into the hole on the front
valve panel of the griddle.
