Operation of Thermostatic Griddle Sections
Each control knob that can be turned to OFF, or to any
temperature in the range 150°F to 400°F (66°C to 204°C).
To start cooking, turn on the appropriate control knob. Check
that the burner ignites. If the burner does not ignite, check and/
or light the pilots (see procedure at right).
Never place utensils on the griddle.
Do not waste gas and abuse equipment by leaving the griddle
set at a high temperature 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 a
low temperature 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 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 control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not already
on).
3. Press and hold in the Safety Switch Button.
4. Push spark ignition button for approximately 10 seconds.
5. Verify pilots are lit by looking through site hole in valve
panel. If spark ignition system is faulty, light pilots manually.
6. 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.
7. After about a minute, release the Safety Switch Button. The
pilot should remain lit.
