SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
CALIBRATION
Level
The griddle must be level (side-to-side and
front-to-back) during operation to ensure proper
performance. Improper leveling can result in uneven
temperature distribution, cold spots, and possibly
damage electrical components.
1.
Place a level on the griddle.
2.
Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the
bottom of each leg. Using pliers or a crescent
wrench, turn the feet counter-clockwise to
increase height, and clockwise to decrease
height until leveling is achieved. Do not extend
the legs more than 1-¾”.
Calibrate
1.
Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the
griddle. Using a Surface Probe temperature
measurement device, observe the temperatures
at the center points of the cooking zones. These
points are located by starting 6” from the side
splash (left or right) and every 12” across the
width of the griddle, with all points located 12”
back from the front edge of the griddle plate.
NOTE:
Use of infrared thermometers is not
recommended. These devices are highly sensitive to
surface color (clean or dirty), angle of reading and
distance from the unit.
2.
Set thermostats to 350°F and allow to stabilize.
3.
Record the temperature tester readouts for
each zone for 3 cycles.

5.
The temperature should be 350°F ±15°F. If not,
continue to next step.
6.
Carefully loosen the knob set screw. DO NOT
allow the knob to turn. Carefully remove the
knob from the thermostat shaft, exposing the
temperature dial.
7.
Loosen screws on the temperature dial and
adjust it so that the temperature indicated by the
knob arrow matches the griddle plate
temperature reading. Knob will have to be
carefully placed back on the shaft to verify
adjustment.
