SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always follow these safety precautions when operating the Xpress Grill.

•THIS GRILL MUST be operated by persons who have been given adequate training.

•THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE OPERATED UNDER AN APPROVED HOOD SYSTEM.

•DO NOT operate the grill without reading this operation manual.

•DO NOT operate the Xpress grill unless all service and access panels are in place and fastened properly.

The Garland Xpress Grill is a semi-automatic cooking appliance. The upper platen is lowered automatically, following the manual, two-handed initiation of the cooking cycle, and the upper platen is raised automatically upon completion of the cooking cycle.

When two sided cooking, the area between the upper platen and the griddle plate should be regarded as a “danger zone.” During two sided cooking the operator must not be within this danger zone. When used as a flat grill, then this area is no longer a danger zone, the platens do not move.

For whatever reason, be it cleaning, maintenance, or normal operation, any exposed person must use extreme caution if within this danger zone.

In two side cooking the upper platen remains in the lowered position by nature of its own weight. It is not locked down. It can be raised by lifting up on the handle on the front of the platen.

The Xpress Grill may during its operation emit airborne noise equivalent to a continuous A weighted sound pressure level of 73dB(A).

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury:

•DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of the Xpress Grill unless all main power supplies to the grill have been disconnected.

•USE EXTREME CAUTION in setting up, operating and cleaning the Xpress Grill to avoid coming in contact with hot grill surfaces or hot grease. Suitable protective clothing should be worn to prevent the risk of burns.

•DO NOT clean this appliance with a water jet.

•DO NOT apply ICE or COLD WATER to a HOT grill surface.

•NOTE all warning labels and markings affixed to the grill.

WARNING: After turning the master power switch to the START position, the grill will go through initialization. If the upper platens are in the lowered position they will return to their raised upper position. This movement takes approximately 8 seconds.
