ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

Each Keating Top-Side

Cooking head is equipped

with a 9' (2.74m) neoprene covered, 12 gauge 4mm(2),

three wire with ground electrical cord. Each cooking

head is rated 4000W, 18 amps, single phase at 220

Volts and is designed to be connected to its own 208-

240V single phase electrical supply. For proper

connecting and grounding procedure see local codes,

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest

edition) or Canadian Electrical Code CAN C22.1 (latest

edition) as applicable.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

III OPERATING

Food will cook much faster with a Top-Side

Cooker

than with a griddle alone. Watch food while cooking or

use timers to ensure food will not be overcooked.

OPERATION OF THE TOP-SIDE

COOKER

SHOULD BE LIMITED TO PERSONNEL

THOROUGHLY

TRAINED IN OPERATING

PROCEDURES. 

COOKING

1.  Turn ON/OFF switch to “ON” position.
2. Press and hold the “Push to Set” button on the

thermostat and adjust the knob to the desired

temperature. The new temperature will be entered

after 3 seconds. Red “ELEMENT ON” light will

illuminate when the element is on.

COOKING HEIGHT

ADJUSTMENT

Keating’s Top-Side

Cooker has been designed to

allow you infinite height adjustments from 

1

/

8

'' to 1

1

/

''

(approximately 3mm to 38mm). An adjusting knob

allows fast and precise height adjustment.

Clockwise movement of the knob will decrease the

spacing; counter clockwise movement will increase the

spacing. Each turn of the adjusting knob represents

1/8'' (approximately 3mm) movement.
Experimentation will give you the best cooking height

for each type of food product. The cooking head should

contact the product firmly to ensure optimum heat

distribution without flattening the product.

SHUTDOWN

Turn ON/OFF switch to “OFF” position.

sheets should be cleaned as described below. Wear

heat resistant gloves for maximum safety during the
