When two sided cooking, the area between the upper
platen and the griddle plate should be regarded as a
“danger zone”. During two sided cooking the operator
must not be within this danger zone. When used as a
flat grill, then this area is no longer a danger zone, the
platens do not move.
For whatever reason, be it cleaning, maintenance,
normal operation, any exposed person must use
extreme caution if within this danger zone.
If for any reason the grill is required to be brought to
an immediate stop, this is achieved by turning the
power switch, which is marked start and stop, and is
located on the front panel adjacent to the grill control,
to the stop position.
In two side cooking the upper platen remains in the
lowered position by nature of it’s own weight. It is not
locked down. It can be raised by lifting of the handle
on the front of the platen, which pivots the platen about
its rear mounting point.
The clamshell grill may during its operation emit
airborne noise equivalent to a continuous A weighted
sound pressure level of 73dB(A).
The clamshell grill must only be used for single and
two sided cooking of foodstuffs in a McDonald’s store
and must not be used for any other purpose.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury:
DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of the
clamshell grill unless all main power
supplies to the grill have been disconnected.
USE EXTREME CAUTION in setting up, operating
and cleaning the clamshell grill to avoid coming in
contact with hot grill surfaces or hot grease. Suitable
protective clothing should be worn to prevent the risk
of burns.
WARNING: This appliance must not be cleaned with a
water jet. DO NOT apply ice to a HOT grill
surface.
NOTE: All warning labels and markings on the grill,
which call attention to further dangers and
necessary precautions.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, (HCS) -
The procedures in this manual include the use of
chemical products. These chemical products will be
printed in bold face, followed by the abbreviation
(HCS) in the text portion of the procedure. See the
Hazard Communication Standard, (HCS) manual for
the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(s),
(MSDS).
WARNING: After turning the master power switch to
the START position, the grill will go
through an initialization process. If the
upper platens are in the lowered position
they will return to their raised upper
position. This movement takes
approximately 8 seconds.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ensure that the flexible gas hose is connected to
the grill and the power cords are plugged into the
receptacles.
2. Turn the main power switch ON and allow the
controls to go through the power-up self-check.
Once the control(s) panel displays the word “OFF”,
the unit is ready to begin the heating process.
3. By selecting any of the menu items (pressing the
menu button) the controls will automatically initiate
the heating cycle appropriate for the menu item
selected. The burner(s) should light and heat until
the temperature specified by the menu item has
been obtained.
4. If ignition of the burner does not occur on the first
trial, the second from the bottom indicator light will
flash amber. If the burner(s) does not light within
four trials for ignition, the control(s) will display a
flashing warning “IGNITION FAILURE”, the flashing
amber light will turn to solid red and an audible
alarm will sound. If this occurs, turn the main
power switch off, wait 5 minutes, then repeat steps
2 and 3.
SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To shut down unit at any time, switch the main
power switch to off (non-lit) position.
2. For extended shut down periods, switch main
power switch to off position, disconnect unit from
gas supply line and unplug electrical connections.
MAINTENANCE - the platen support arms carriage
block bearing bushes, the platen adjuster nuts, the
platen support (shoulder) bolt and the cam follower
should be checked annually for wear. Should there be
any noticeable play in the bearing bushes and any
visible wear on the platen adjuster nuts, platen support
bolts or cam follower, then they must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE - the audible alarm that sounds on
platen lowering, platen raising and 5 seconds before
the completion of the cooking cycle is to advise the
operator that the platen is about to move. The function
of this device may be tested by pushing the left hand
CANCEL button. If no sound is heard, ensure that the
alarm volume is not set to low in SYSTEM SETUP. If
