for seasoning procedure.
LIGHTING PILOTS ON GRIDDLES WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION
CAUTION: Do not turn the electric supply on without making sure the gas is flowing to the pilots.
Failure to do this may shorten igniter life.
1. Turn all burner valves OFF. Wait 5 minutes to allow any gas to escape.
2. Turn the gas supply ON.
3. Turn the main electric switch ON. The red light comes on.
4. Pilots should light as soon as the gas supply reaches the pilot. Verify this before proceeding to
normal operation.
If pilot goes out, the electric igniter will relight the pilot.
If electricity to the griddle goes off, gas supply to the pilots and to the burners is automatically shut off.
NORMAL OPERATION
A red thermostat on the front control panel regulates the temperature of each platen and has a separate
on-off switch.
Twin radial cams adjust height of the platen above the griddle for optimal cooking performance.
Gradations from
5
/32" to 1" in 32nds are available with markings from

A black thermostat on the front control panel regulates the temperature of each foot-wide section of
griddle surface.

2. Adjust radial cams on platens for height of platen.
3. Turn switch ON and set thermostat to desired temperature. Amber light flashes on when heating,
