Operation of Thermostatic Griddle Sections
Each 16"-wide section has one control knob that can be
turned to OFF, or to any temperature in the range 150°F to
400°F (66°C to 204°C).
To start cooking, turn on the appropriate control knob. Check
that the burner ignites. If the burner does not ignite, check
and/or light the pilots (see procedure at right).
Never place utensils on the griddle.
Do not waste gas and abuse equipment by leaving the
thermostat at a high temperature all the time. During idling
periods, turn the thermostat to a low temperature to keep the
griddle warm. (Do not allow the griddle to overheat above
550°F (288°C), as this will cause warping or breakage.)
When necessary while cooking, pull out and empty the
grease drawer.
When done cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to
OFF. (The pilot should remain lit).
Each 16" or 32" griddle section has a single pilot that is lit
using a long match inserted thorough a hole in the front
valve panel. (A 48"-wide griddle has two pilots.) To light the
pilot, do the following:
1. Check that all control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not
already on).
3. Turn on the Griddle Gas Shut-Off Valve (if not already
on).
4. Press and hold in the Safety Switch Button.
5. Light the pilot by inserting a long match (at least 11" long)
or pilot-lighting device straight into the hole on the front
valve panel of the griddle.
6. After about a minute, release the Safety Switch Button.
The pilot should remain lit.
