OPERATION HEAVY DUTY COUNTERLINE
OPERATION OF GRIDDLE MODELS
Each 12"-wide 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,” then tu rn the main gas supply valve(s) to “OFF.”
To light the pilots of a griddle section, do the following:
1. Turn all griddle controls to the “OFF” position.
OPERATION
2. Open the grease/control door at the bottom of the front of the gridd le.
3. Turn the main shut-off valve to the “ON” position (if it is not already ON).
4. 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 (either with a match, or, on models with electronic ignition, by
pressing the electronic ignition button to generate a spark). Continue to hold the pilot button for 45
seconds, or until the pilot remains lit. Note that 24" models have one pilot, 36" & 48" models have two
pilots, and 60" models have three pilots (one pilot and one shut-off valve in one burner compartment,
and two pilots and one shut-off valve in a second b urner compartment).
5. If a pilot is extinguished or the gas suppl y is interrupted, wait five minutes and repeat the above steps.
6. 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.
