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.
CONDITIONING THE
GRIDDLE
The MIRACLEAN
®
Griddle plate has been “seasoned”
at the factory. The chrome surface when heated
creates a thin layer of chrome oxide which acts as a
releasing agent for food products. If you feel you need
to recondition the surface, the following instructions
should be followed:
1. Follow cleaning instructions on this page & next.
2. Heat the MIRACLEAN
®
to 400°F for one hour.
3. Lower thermostat to 350°F, allowing the
MIRACLEAN
®
to cool to about 350°F, as is evident
when griddle cycles on or surface thermometer
indicates correct temperature.
4. Lightly coat the MIRACLEAN
®
surface with griddle
oil.
NOTE:
Despite the food releasing properties, the
chrome surface is not a true “non-stick” surface. For
best cooking results and product appearance, use
griddle oil for products that require the surface to be
conditioned.
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.
NOTE:
To increase temperature, adjust knob
clockwise. To decrease, adjust knob
counterclockwise.

COOKING HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Keating’s Top-Side
™
Cooker has been designed to
allow you infinite height adjustments from
1
/
8
'' to 1
1
/
2
''
(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.
DIGITAL TIMER
PROGRAMMING FOR
AUTO-LIFT HEADS
ONLY
The electronic timers provide a clearly visible and
accurate display and are very easy to use. Three
different, independent cook times can be set using this
timer - T1, T2 and T3. When cook time has reached
“00:00”, the cooking head will automatically raise.
