ADJUSTMENTS CALIBRATION 1. Each temperature controller 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 ar

HELPFUL HINT – If the unit is attached to a flexible gas line, you can extend the bullet feet out to their fullest extension to raise the griddle and allow yourself more clearance while reaching under the unit. Remember to relevel the unit if you chose to do this. BURNER The RRG Series Griddle utilizes U-shaped burners with a single center inlet for every 12 inches of griddle width. Each burner is rated for 27,500 BTU/hr. Disconnect the electrical power and follow lock

2. Reach through the back of the unit. Squeeze the burner retaining clip and slide off burner retaining pin. 3. Lift the burner up so the retaining pin clears the corresponding hole in the chassis, then pull the burner out through the back of the unit. 4. Replace by inserting the burner through the rear of the unit and engaging the burner venturi onto the burner orifice at the front of the unit. 5. Seat the retaining pin in the hole in the chassis and attach the retaining clip. 6. Remov
