All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the thermostat to the desired temperature is all that
is required to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the units'
sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of
air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, which will
effect operation and cause undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in
which the unit is installed and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. This must be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Season Griddle:
Heat to low temperature (300 - 350 F/150-180C) and pour on a small amount of cooking oil, about one
ounce (30cc) per square foot of surface. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a
thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick,
mirror-like surface.
Operation:
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame
height (HMG). Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the plate up to the set
temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively
higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic
approach to the loading of the griddle will produce the most consistent product results.
CAUTION:
Do not turn on gas valves without lighting pilots. This could cause a build up of
gas and potential explosion.
NOTICE:
Due to heat transfer thru the griddle plate, adjoining zones can be no more than
25° different.
