INSTALLATION PROCEDURE  
GENERAL  
1. Carefully remove the unit from the crate. All packing material must be removed from the  
unit. The protective material covering the stainless steel must be removed immediately after  
the unit is installed.  
2. Adequate clearance must be provided for servicing, ventilation and proper operation. The  
product must be kept clear of combustible material.  
CASTERS  
1. The front casters on the unit are equipped with brakes to limit movement of the range without  
relying on the electrical connection to limit appliance movement.  
2. A restraint can be attached to the unit near the electrical connection. If the restraint is  
disconnected, be sure to reconnect it after the range has been returned to its originally  
installed position.  
COMMISSIONING  
Ensure all circuit breakers located behind the access door on the control panel are set to the “ON”  
position.  
1. Ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position and turn on the main electrical supply.  
2. Operate each section of the unit in accordance with the operating instructions provided in this  
manual.  
3. Check that the product functions correctly and the voltage supply to the unit does not drop by  
more than 5% when all sections are operated simultaneously.  
When the operation has been checked, hand the manual to the user or purchaser for retention and  
instruct them in the efficient and safe operation of the appliance.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
GRIDDLES  
Griddle tops are designed to have food cooked directly on the surface. Do not put pots or pans on  
the griddle surface as this will scratch or nick the surface and will result in improper cooking or

sticking of product. Never salt food over griddle since this will build up a gummy residue making  
it difficult to clean.  
Avoid hitting the surface of the griddle with the edge of a spatula since this will cause nicks. The  
most frequently used temperatures are 149C to 182C (300F to 360F). After one cycle, the  
griddle plate will discolour. This is normal and will not affect cooking performance.  
Check the grease container and drain frequently during heavy use to prevent overflow.  
OPERATING THE GRIDDLE:  
NOTE: Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is turned "ON".  
1. Switch “ON” main power switch on the control panel.  
2. Switch “ON” desired section(s).  
3. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.  
SHUTTING THE GRIDDLE DOWN:  
1. Set the thermostat to the OFF position.  
2. Switch “OFF” all sections.  
3. Switch “OFF” main power switch on the control panel.  
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING  
CLEANING:  
STAINLESS STEEL:  
Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent, a soft cloth and hot water. If it is  
necessary to use a non-metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain in the metal

to prevent scratching. Wash a small area at a time and rinse the washed area with a clean sponge  
dipped into a disinfectant and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before it can dry.  
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools to scrape off heavy deposits of grease or oil. Do not  
use ordinary steel scrapers or knives, as particles of iron may become embedded and rust.  
NEVER USE STEEL WOOL.  
GRIDDLES  
PREPARING A NEW GRIDDLE:  
1. Remove the protective coating on the surface using a mild detergent.  
2. Thoroughly rinse the griddle with vinegar and a water solution (3/4-cup vinegar per quart of  
water) and dry.  
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE:  
1. Using a clean cloth, rub a thin and even layer of oil into the griddle surface. Oil should be an  
unsalted shortening or high temperature cooking oil.  
2. Set the griddle thermostat to 66C (150F) and heat the griddle surface until the oil begins to  
caramelize (turn a golden brown colour).  
3. Scrape off the caramelized oil with a standard spatula.  
4. Repeat step 1, and set the griddle thermostat to 135C (275F).  
5. Repeat steps 2 &3. The griddle is now seasoned and ready for use.  
GRIDDLES -CONTINUED  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (AFTER EACH USE)  
1. Using a traditional 64mm-76mm (2 ½”-3”) scraper or spatula scrape the griddle surface (to  
remove food particles and oil residues) towards the grease trough using even back to front  
strokes. Deposit debris into the chute.  
2. Using a clean cloth, rub a thin and even layer of oil into the griddle surface.

3. Remove the grease drawer, empty and wash thoroughly with soap & water. Replace.  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR HEAVY BUILD UP)  
(After using cleaners & grease cutter, re-season the griddle)  
Apply to a warm griddle for best results.  
1. Using a traditional 64mm-76mm (2 ½”-3”) scraper or spatula scrape the griddle surface (to  
remove food particles and oil residues) towards the grease trough using even back to front  
strokes. Deposit debris into the chute.  
2. Apply griddle cleaner evenly over the griddle surface and let sit as directed. Follow the  
procedures on the label of the specific cleaning product.  
3. Using a traditional scraper or spatula, slosh around the griddle cleaner to remove the build up.  
4. Scrape the griddle surface towards the grease trough using even back to front strokes. Repeat  
step 2 if necessary.  
5. Using a mild detergent, clean the surface and rinse thoroughly with a water and vinegar  
solution. Dry griddle.  
6. Using a clean cloth rub a thin and even layer of oil into the griddle surface.  
7. Re-season the griddle as detailed above. The griddle is now ready for use.  
GRIDDLE DO’S & DON’TS  
DO’S  
1. Season the griddle. This will prevent foods from sticking and make it easier to keep the  
surface clean.  
2. Keep the surface clean. Scraping the surface throughout production to clear foods and oils  
prevents build up and will make it easier to keep the surface clean.  
3. Turn the temperature down during slow periods. Reducing the temperature or turning  
sections off during slow periods will conserve energy and prevent the plate from overheating.  
DON’TS  
1. Do not use salt to clean the griddle surface. Salt is corrosive and can cause pitting of the  
griddle.  
2. Do not allow metal utensils (Spatula, scraper, etc.) to nick and/or dent the surface of the  
griddle. The edges of these utensils are sharp and will create divots that oil can collect in and  
caramelize which will cause sticking.

3. Do not use the griddle as a hot top. A large pan or pot will trap heat and can cause the griddle  
plate to warp.  
4. Do not overheat the griddle to preheat faster. Preheating only takes 15-20 minutes.  
SERVICING  
To ensure efficient and safe operation of the appliance it is recommended that servicing be  
carried out at regular intervals, the frequency of which will vary, depending on the installation  
conditions and usage. Usually once per year is adequate.  
Servicing must be carried out by competent persons in accordance with the law.  
SAFETY  
It is essential that the instructions in this booklet be strictly followed for the safe and economical  
operation of the equipment. If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the appliance then it  
must not be used until a competent person has rectified the fault.
