The
elernents
are
to,,be
replaced
as an

ALWAYS!
.Failure

do
so
will
result in uneven
heating
sf the
griddle
surface,
The
elements
are
specially
compressed
between the
element
package
box assembly and
ttre top heater
plate.
This
provides
even heat
transfer
to the
griddle
cooking
surface
and the elimination
of
air
entrapment
between
the
element and heater
plate.

assembly will pivot
down. It
is
noj
necessary
to remove the insula-
tion cover
and insulatiqn
mounted.below

once
the nut$ arc removed, the
element assembly can
be
pivoted
all

of
position.
Alignment
See figure 4
below for the following
explantions.
Proper
alignment
of the top heater
plate
and
therrnocouple
tube is
essential in
order not to:
a) crush the
thermocouple
mounting
tube
b) cause improper
surface contact
of the element
assembly with
the bottom
of the
griddle
surface
The heater
plate
has. a long
slot
centered
at
the front,
It
is important
that the
slot
certers around
the
thermocouple
tube
as the element
assembly
is
lifted
and secured
back
into
its flush
position
under
the
griddle
surface.
As the new element
in
the
package
box
is
pivoted
up into
its installed
position,
be
sure to tighten
the
package'box
retaining
nuts
evenly
until the
whole element
assembly
is level
and
tightly in
place.
Insutation
:
After replacing
the element
assembly,
bg
qure
that
the 1.5" thic-k
l,nsulation
sheet is
properly installed
below the element
frame
support
with
the insulation
cover.
Make
sure items
A & B
(front
insulation
and
support bracke-t) are
ptit
back'in pl6ee.
Failure
to
properly
install
all inSulation will
result
in
abnormal
compartment
temperatures
and
heat losS
from the
element.
This
can result in:
a)
poor
cook-
ing
performance
and
b)
control
component
failure
due
to heat.
