FLUE CONNECTIONS Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue, located at the rear of the griddle. It is recommended that flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel. From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18” must be maintained. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for “Vapor Remov

Fig. 2 Fig. 3 The supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W.C. for natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the griddle be connected to supply pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C. PROPANE GAS CONVERSION This griddle is shipped from the factory equipped with fixed burner and pilot orifices for natural gas operation. The burner and pilot orifices required to convert the griddle to propane gas are shipped with the griddle in the ship

OPERATION The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the griddle. BEFORE FIRST USE Remove all packing material and protective plastic from surfaces of the unit. Before leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor. Remove this film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Heat the griddle to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface with a non-corrosive, gre

USING THE GRIDDLE To preheat, turn the burners on about 20-25 minutes before cooking. A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results. The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE Empty the grease drawer as needed throughout the day and regularly clean at least once daily. Clean the griddle regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss of cooking effici
