OPERATION OF THERMOSTATIC GRIDDLE MODELS

Each 12”-wide and 18” wide model only griddle section has a thermostatic-control knob on the front panel that directly 

controls the flow of gas, and so the heat. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the heat; turn it counterclockwise to reduce 

the heat.

The griddle requires approximately 13 minutes of preheating to reach 350°F, and 45 minutes to even out.

Do not waste gas or abuse equipment by leaving control knobs set at a high temperature if not required. During idle 

periods, set control knobs to low temperature settings to keep griddle warm.

After each period of use, allow the griddle surface to cool normally. At the end of each day’s use, turn all control knobs 

to the “OFF” position. After the griddle has cooled, coat the griddle surface with a light film of cooking oil to protect the 

surface from moisture.

To shut down the appliance for an extended period (or before disconnecting the gas supply), turn all the burner control 

gas knobs “OFF,”.

To light the pilots of a thermostatic griddle section, do the following:

1. Turn all griddle controls to the “OFF” position.
2. 

Note that the left pilot must be lit before the right pilot can be lit.

 For each pilot, press and hold the red pilot button   

    and light the pilot by pressing the electronic ignition button on the front panel to generate a spark. Continue to hold the  

    pilot button for 45 seconds, or until the pilot remains lit. Note that 18 & 24” models have one pilot, 36” & 48” models  

    have two pilots, 60” models have three pilots, and 72” models have four pilots.

3. If a pilot is extinguished or the gas supply is interrupted, wait five minutes and repeat the above steps.

4. Allow the pilots to warm-up for 1 minute, then turn all griddle thermostat controls to the “ON” position to check that the  

    pilots will ignite the burners.

Note:

 18” and 24” models have one pilot, 36” and 48” models have two pilots, 60” models have three pilots, and 72” 

models have four pilots. 60” and 72” models have two shut-off valves, one in each burner compartment
