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.
