BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The burner air shutter has a locking screw on the bottom side of the venturi. Loosen this screw
to make any adjustment and tighten the screw to lock the air shutter in place after adjustment
is complete. Any adjustment must be made when the burner is at full input before the control
temperature setting has been satised.
1. Turn the control knob to the highest position and observe the burner ame.
2. Slowly decrease the air shutter opening until the ame is a soft blue with yellow tips, then increase
the opening until the yellow tips disappear and the ame is a hard blue.
3. Do not open the shutter to a point where the ame is unstable or lifting from the burner surface.
The ame must be steady and even across the entire burner.
The following was set at the factory and the adjustment should only be made
by an authorized installer and only if you are experiencing this specic
problem.
BYPASS ADJUSTMENT ON THROTTLING CONTROL MODELS ONLY
Throttling control models have a minimum ame setting that provides a steady uniform ame across
the burner when the control heat setting has been satised.
1. Set the control at the maximum setting and wait for the burner ame to throttle back.
2. Turn the dial to the 200 degree setting. A small steady ame should be visible on all the burner
ports. This ame should be approximately 1/8" high.
3. An adjustment screw is located either on the front or side of the control housing.
4. Turn clockwise to decrease the ame height; turn counterclockwise to increase the ame
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR SNAP ACTION AND CHROME SURFACE
MODELS ONLY
Snap action and chrome surface griddles are equipped with a three-prong grounding plug. The unit
is designed for use on a 120 volt 15 amp 50/60 cycle AC single-phase circuit only. For protection
against electrical shock, the unit must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Do not connect to any other type of current or serious damage will occur.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING SURFACE (NON-CHROME SURFACES)
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 the temperature control dial to 350°F (174.0°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin lm of cooking oil or shortening over the griddle
cooking surface. This lm should remain on the hot griddle surface 1/2 hour.
3. Remove excess shortening and wipe clean.
4. Apply another lm of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour, and again remove
excess shortening 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 griddle plate is "broken in."
COOKING
Set the dial knob to the setting desired. After a 30 minute (minimum) preheating period, the griddle
will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
