INSTALLATION
The griddles are equipped for the voltage indicated on the nameplate mounted under the
bullnose on the front panel. They will operate on alternating current (AC) only.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).
WARNING
The installation of the electric griddle should conform to the:
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES AND ORDINANCES AND
THE LOCAL ELECTRIC COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS
For your protection we recommend that a qualified electrician install this griddle. He should be
familiar with electrical installations and all electric codes. Proper connections and power supply are
essential for efficient performance. The external wiring should be in conduit or an approved type
of flexible cable suitable for operation at the temperature indicated on the wiring diagram, and of a
proper size to carry the load. The supply circuit should be properly fused and equipped with a means
of disconnecting, as required by local electrical code. THE BODY OF THE GRIDDLE SHOULD BE
GROUNDED (DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS SUPPLY LINE).
GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
The Toastmaster series electric griddles may be wired for operation in the field for either 1-phase or 3-
phase power supplies by making line connections at the junction box(es) located at the rear of the unit.
Model TMGE36 should be wired for 3-phase power supply only. Two junction boxes are provided on
the TMGE48 for making line connections. These may be connected in parallel to one 16KW 3-phase
line or on two separate 8KW lines.
CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
Detach cover on junction box at rear of unit. There are pigtail leads for the supply connection
in the junction box.
LOCATING AND LEVELING THE UNIT
Do not install the unit closer than 1-inch from a side wall and/or closer than 1-inch from a rear wall.
Level unit by adjusting the (4) feet which have an adjustment of 1-3/4” (43.75mm) for accurate leveling

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE (NON CHROMIUM SURFACE)
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should
be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using and after each thorough scouring,
season the griddle heating surface in the following manner.
1. Turn temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of cooking oil over the griddle cooking
surface. This film should remain on the hot griddle surface for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another half hour and again
remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.
Even with careful seasoning, food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking surface until the
griddle plate is broken in.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are combination “ON/OFF” switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob
automatically maintains the selected heat range.
The Toastmaster electric griddle line has one thermostat for every 12” (30cm) section of griddle that
operates independently of one another. Each thermostat controls the section of the griddle above it
and may be set at different temperatures as desired.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature desired. After a short pre-heating period, the
thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods, to save on operating costs, lower the temperature setting of the thermostat to
about 250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain cooking temperature during idle periods, as the
griddle can quickly be reheated to the desired temperature.
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Each thermostat has its own signal light which indicates when the unit’s control knob is not in
the off position.
GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES)
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency. If
grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard substance
which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions for
cleanliness should be followed:
1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess grease
and food. A waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned
on grease and food, the griddle should be thoroughly scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice
or griddle stone while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of
steel slivers getting into the food.
2. Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel
body of the griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth.
3. At least once a day, remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an
ordinary cooking utensil. The drawers are removed by pulling forward until they are
released from their track.
