This equipment is intended to be used for grilling foods in commercial foodservice operations only. It is not intended for household, industrial, or laboratory use.

The features and controls are as follows:

LEG: Supports the equipment.

ADJUSTABLE FEET: Used to adjust the level of the equipment.

DRIP TRAY: A tray that collects grease and oil. This tray can be removed for cleaning.

PILOT LIGHT ACCESS HOLE: Allows access to the pilot light.

GAS CONTROL KNOB: Used to set or adjust the temperature of the grilling surface.

GRIDDLE PLATE: Cooking surface.

FLAME FAILURE BUTTON: Used when igniting the pilot light. Allows gas supply to the pilot lights when the thermocouple is cold.

KNOB GUARD: Helps protect the control knob from damage.

1. Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic from the equipment.

2. Use caution and assistance from others in lifting and moving this equipment.

3. Clean any glue residue left over from the plastic or tape.

4. Place the equipment in the desired position and height.

5. Install the four (4) legs and feet onto the equipment.

6. To adjust the leveling feet, hold the leg and rotate the adjustable feet so the equipment is level.

7. Before using this equipment it must be cleaned and dried thoroughly.

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow these precautions at all times:

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• This appliance is for use in non-combustible locations only.

• Keep the appliance area free and clear from combustibles.

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Do not install or use without 4” legs. Use of this equipment without legs can cause the appliance to overheat and cause a fire.

• Do not spray controls or the outside of the appliance with liquids or cleaning agents.

• Let the hot appliance cool before cleaning or moving.

• The appliance should only be used in a flat, level position.

• Do not operate unattended.

If you smell gas, follow the instructions provided by the gas supplier. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not try to light the burner; do not use a telephone within close proximity.

NOTE: It is vital that the purchaser of this equipment post instructions in a prominent location to be followed in the event that the user smells gas. This information shall be obtained by consulting the local gas supplier.

The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots, and each should be lit immediately after the gas is supplied to the appliance.

1. Before attempting to light pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.

2. Turn off all gas control knobs.

3. There is one pilot burner and one safety cutoff valve for every two main burners, apart from models FTT2036 and FTT2060, which have an odd number of burners. Therefore, one of the sets of pilots and safety valves will control only one main burner.

4. Turn on the main control valve. Each pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Press the red button for at least 30 seconds on each safety cutoff valve. Light the relevant pilot burner through the pilot holes using a suitable ignition source. When the flame is established, remove the ignition source.

5. The pilots are monitored by thermocouplers connected to each safety control valve. Should the pilot light be extinguished the safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply to the pilot and relevant main burners.

6. To shut down the appliance turn off the main gas valve to the appliance.

Each 12″ section of the griddle surface is controlled by a snap-action thermostat, which operates between 200°F – 550°F (93°C – 288°C).

Before initial use, turn the gas control knob to the maximum setting, and allow equipment to burn-in for 15 minutes. You will notice smoke appearing due to the cooking surface burning-in. This is normal. After the 15 minute burn-in period, the equipment is ready for use.

For regular use:

1. Light the pilot light by following the “Lighting the Pilot” procedures in this manual.

2. Turn the gas control knob to the desired temperature setting.

3. Allow the appliance to pre-heat before attempting to use.

4. Cook food product as directed or desired.

5. Check the drip tray frequently.

To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your equipment daily. Do not clean the equipment with steel wool.

1. Allow the equipment to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Using a wire brush, scrape the griddle plate to remove any food residue.

3. Using a damp cloth, sponge dipped in soapy water or metal scraper to clean the equipment; rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. Empty and clean the drip tray. Place the drip tray back into the equipment.

Pilot Flame Regulation: The pilot flame on the appliance has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot flames as small as possible, but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is turned to the ‘High’ setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained by removing the front panel.

Burner Adjustment: Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn the burner valve knob to the ‘High’ position. Slowly decrease the mixing ring aperture to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly increase the opening to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a stable blue flame is obtained.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. This appliance must be installed and adjusted by a qualified technician in accordance with all federal, state and local codes.

• The installation must conform with local codes, or in their absence, with the National Fuel Gas Code, International Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.

• This appliance must be installed adjacent to non-combustible surfaces only with a minimum spacing of 6″ from all sides. This appliance must be a minimum distance of 6″ from another appliance.

• The appliance must have the supplied 4” legs installed and be placed on a non-combustible surface.

• The area in front and around the appliances must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Pressure Regulator: A pressure regulator must be used on the incoming service line. The provided regulator is adaptable for both Natural Gas and LP gas. It has a ½” NPT inlet and outlet and is factory adjusted for 4” w.c. Natural Gas. It can be converted by qualified personnel for Propane at 10” w.c. The regulator can only withstand a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” w.c.). If line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down regulator is required.

• Gas Piping: Gas piping must be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas input of the appliance. Joint compound (pipe dope) shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of pipe joints and must be resistant to the action of LP gases.

• Gas Connection: The appliance comes fitted with a ¾” N.P.T male adapter for connection to the pressure regulator.

• Sediment Trap: It is recommended that a sediment trap be installed in-line before the regulator to prevent loose dirt or metal particles from damaging the valve.

• Manual Shut Off Valve: A manual shut off valve should be installed in an accessible location within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the appliance.

• Checking for Leaks: Use a gas leak detector or a leak detection solution to locate gas leaks. Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check the entire piping system for leaks.

Cooking appliances inherently create a good deal of heat and smoke and should be installed under an efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters. A vertical distance of not less than 4 ft. (1.2m) shall be provided between the top of the appliance and filters or any other combustible material.

No. There are no user serviceable parts within this appliance. To avoid serious injury or damage, never attempt to repair the Griddle yourself. Contact a qualified technician or service agent for any adjustments, maintenance or repairs. This appliance is not user serviceable. A qualified service company should check the unit for safe and efficient operation on an annual basis.
