Items Included with this Unit
Setup
- This unit has been tested at the factory, remove all packaging and tape prior to operation.
- Place the unit on a sturdy, level base for use. There are 4 leveler feet on the bottom of the cabinet, adjust as needed. This unit is also equipped with 2 sets of feet height spacers which adjust the roller grill angle to approximately 4 degrees or 8 degrees slant, if desired (reference Feet Spacer Installation section to install spacers).
- The Roller Grill is equipped with stand locators on each end of the unit for a Food Shield option (sold separately), reference the image below for mounting a Food Shield, if desired.
- Plug the power cord into the unit – make sure the IEC Power Cord is properly seated into the IEC receptacle before powering up the machine. See the Electrical Requirements section to plug the unit into a power source for use.
- After setup, the unit should be cleaned prior to use (see Care and Cleaning section).
Feet Spacer Installation
The unit must be OFF, unplugged from the power supply, and allowed to cool
completely prior to changing the feet spacers. Install spacers on a clean
unit. The 2 short spacers provide approx. 4 degrees slant to the roller grill;
the 2 longer spacers provide approx. 8 degrees slant.
To Install Spacers:
Step 1: Remove the drip pan and disconnect IEC Power Cord from the roller
grill. 
Step 2: Carefully set the unit on its back to access the feet, then remove
the two feet (10mm nut on foot).
Step 3 : Install a threaded
spacer for each foot removed (use 2 long spacers or 2 short spacers).
Step 4: Screw a foot into each of the spacers, DO NOT
over-tighten. Then, lift the unit and reset it on the feet. Replace the drip
pan for use.
Electrical Requirements
The following power supply must be provided (reference unit Data Plate for
Wattage requirement): 120V~, 60 Hz
** DANGER
**The machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock to
personnel. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT immerse any part of this equipment in the water. DO NOT use excessive
water when cleaning.
Keep the cord and plug off the ground and away from moisture.
Always unplug the equipment before cleaning or servicing.
Make sure all mechanical switches are in the OFF position before plugging the
equipment into the receptacle. 008_051514
A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine
operation and install any supplied receptacle (reference unit Data Plate for
model-specific Volts AC, Hertz, and Wattage requirements). We recommend this
equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly
will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine. It is Gold
Medal Products Co.’s recommendation that this machine is plugged directly into
a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety
concerns and may cause the sacrifice and/or reduced performance. Make sure the
cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset. Units with an IEC
Power Cord – make sure the IEC cord is properly seated into the IEC receptacle
before powering up the machine.
Before You Plug In the Machine
- Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into the receptacle.
- Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply cord.
- The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
- DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter (where applicable).
- Install the unit in a level position.
CAUTION
****If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from Gold Medal Products Co. or its service agent.
