Connect supply leads to field terminal block and green grounding lead to the labeled ground lug.  The 

supply wire should be anchored through the access hole with bulkhead fitting.  Ranges are shipped wired for 3-phase 
or 1-phase service but may be changed in the field.  Refer to wiring diagram and schematic decal attached to the 
range for necessary alterations.   

OPERATION 

 

 

 

ELEMENT CONTROLS 

 

Infinite load switches that control and maintain heat to the surface plates.  The controls are arranged in 

pairs; the left knob controls the front plate and the right knob controls the rear plate.  NOTE: On 480 v, units cast 
iron plates are controlled by a selector switch allowing settings from high to low. 

HOT TOP SWITCH 

 

A thermostat (1-10) controls and maintains heat to the top section.  Select desired heat level, (1 is 

minimum, 10 is maximum). 

GRIDDLE THERMOSTAT 

 

Regulates the amount of heat needed to maintain the set temperature.  Each 12” (305 mm) section of the 

griddle has its own thermostat with a temperature range of 200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C). 

OVEN THERMOSTAT 

 

Regulates the amount of heat needed to control and maintain oven temperature around the desired set 

temperature.  The temperature range is from 200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).  Turn dial counterclockwise to 
increase temperature and clockwise to decrease temperature. 

ELEMENTS 

 

Element plates are most efficient when used with utensils having a maximum inside diameter of 10” (254) 

or a minimum inside diameter of 9” (229).  Stock pots of 9, 12 and 16 qt. capacities are recommended for bulk 
cooking. 

NOTE:  It is important that the utensil used has a flat bottom that sits uniformly on the surface of the plate.  Utensils 
with curved bottoms (either through design or warped from use) will have poor contact and therefore poor heat 
transfer.  This will result in poor cooking performance. 

 

The solid surface plates are rated for 2000 watts and are controlled by an infinite heat switch.  A solid 

surface plate will reach cooking temperature from room temperature in 5 to 7 minutes at a HI switch setting.  Each 
control knob is marked HI and LO.  The Hi setting is full heat.  Use the Hi setting to start cooking quickly and to 
bring water to a boil. 

 

CAUTION 

The 60” & 72” unit has more than one source of electrical supply.  Each source MUST be connected in 

accordance with the National Electric Code (latest edition) or other local codes. 

 

WARNING 

The range and its parts are hot.  Be very careful when operating, cleaning or servicing the range.
