Installation of Griddle Top Bricks

The griddle top section is extremely heavy. It will require three people to install the griddle and griddle brick — two people to lift the griddle plate (Fig. 3) and one person to set the bricks and griddle thermostat capillary bulb(s) in place.

The griddle top section utilizes a two-fold baffle assembly to support the composite/mortar fire bricks. There will always be only one small 612" (165 mm) wide baffle assembly with every griddle top order. There will be at least one 978" (250.8 mm) wide baffle assembly per griddle, possibly more, depending on the griddle width.

The 612" (165 mm) wide baffle will utilize two 10" x 4" (254 x 101.6 mm), two 7" x 4" (177.8 x 101.6 mm), and one triangular 438" x 3" x 12" (111.1 x 76.2 x 12.7 mm) brick set.

The 978" (250.8 mm) wide baffle assembly will utilize two 10" x 4" (254 x 101.6 mm), two 7" x 4" (177.8 x 101.6 mm), and one triangular 9716" x 2" x 178" (239.7 x 50.8 x 47.6 mm) brick set.

1.The griddle bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate the box and carefully inspect quantities as explained above.

2.Clean anti-rust coating from top of griddle, following the procedures described in the CLEANING - GRIDDLE PLATE section of this manual.

3.Remove griddle plate. With one person at either side of the griddle, gently lift griddle straight up. DO NOT pull griddle forward until the third person has checked to ensure that the capillary bulb(s) are freed from the underside of the griddle plate. If bulb(s) are still attached to the griddle, pull capillary bulb(s) wire gently through the "V" shield(s) until the bulb(s) are free. Rest the griddle plate in a secure place.
