XLR8 HEATED PLATEN

4.3.1 CLEAN AFTER INSTALLATION

It is recommended that you clean your XLR8 
thoroughly before using it for the first time. To 
clean the equipment teflon cooking surface, just 
simply wash it down with a solution of mild soap 
and water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water 
and wipe dry with a clean towel.

4.3.2 PREHEATING

Press the 

ON/OFF

 and select the desired preset. 

The upper platen should be approximately 40- 
50°F hotter than the griddle surface to achieve 
good caramelization on product.

The equipment will be preheated when the 
selected set temperature is displayed and the 
corresponding LED goes solid. Please use caution 
as temperatures on and around the cooking 
surface could cause severe burns.

4.3.3 ADJUSTING THE PLATEN GAP 
HEIGHT

The XLR8 arm has gap adjustment every 1/32nd 
of an inch. This gives you the control needed to 
adjust to any product up to 2” thick. To adjust the 
gap remove the adjustment arm in the front of 
the Upper Heated Platen. Raise the arm and place 
the desired product in the middle of the platen 
coverage area. With the griddle and arm on and 
preheated, lower the arm until you start to hear 
a sizzle from the product. This means you are 
applying slight pressure on the top of the product. 
At this point, install the adjustment arm onto the 
mounting plate. Place the lock bolt into the hole 
that lines up with the mounting plate and tighten.

4.3.4 ALLOWING THE PLATEN TO FLOAT

The platen is shipped in its ‘locked’ setting, which 
keeps the platen cooking surface horizontally level 
and is designed for the cooking of level products 
such as burgers. 

 Please use caution as temperatures 

on and around the griddle cooking 
surface could cause severe burns.

4.3 COOKING 

If the product being cooked is uneven in 
nature, such as chicken, the platen can be 
unlocked, allowing it to float and enablish 
the even cooking of uneven product.

To unlock the platen see section 3.8.2 in the 
INSTALLATION chapter of this manual.

4.3.5 COOKING

If a recipe is provided for the product you 
are preparing, always follow your company 
guidelines for preparing product.

If adjusting your own recipe to incorporate 
the use of the XLR8 it is recommended to 
apply the following steps:
•  Divide the total cook time applied to 

a product cooking on just the griddle 
surface by half. Adjust the time from 
there until you are happy with the 
finished product.

•   Once you have the time and 

temperature for the product identified, 
use the programming instructions to set 
the timer and presets accordingly.

•  Adding more compression (smaller gap 

between platen and griddle surface) will 
decrease cook time but may result in a 
dryer product.

4.3.6 CLEANING

•  Power unit off and allow to cool until it is 

safe to touch, approximately 30 minutes.

•  Remove teflon sheetand clean using mild 

soap and water solution and a towel. 

•  To clean the arm, once cooled, clean 

using mild soap and water solution and a 
towel.  Rinse when done with clean water 
and allow to dry overnight. 
 
Do not Power Spray the griddle or XLR8 
Upper Heated Platen. A non-Metallic 
cleaning pad can be used to remove 
large debris or built up areas.
