INSTALLATION

The griddles are designed to operate only for the voltages indicated on the data plate attached to this griddle, and for alternating current (AC) only.
WARNING DOES NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).
The installation of the electric griddle should conform to the:
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES AND ORDINANCES AND THE LOCAL ELECTRIC COMPANY RULES AND  REGULATIONS.
A Qualified electrical installer must install this griddle. Improper installation will void the manufacturer’s warranty. External wiring should be in conduit or an approved type of flexible cable suitable for operation at the temperature indicated on the wiring diagram, and of a proper size to carry the load. The supply circuit should be properly fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting, as required by the local electrical code.
THE BODY OF THE GRIDDLE SHOULD BE GROUNDED (DO NOT GROUND TO AN ELECTRIC SUPPLY LINE).
NOTE: Appliances are not internally fused. They must be connected to a suitable disconnect box in accordance with local code.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

PATRIOT series 24” 36” and 48” electric griddles may be wired for operation in the field for either 1-phase or 3-phase power supplies by making line connections at the junction box located at the rear of the unit. 12” griddle is 1-phase only
CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
Open cover on junction box at the rear of the unit. Pigtail leads must be connected to supply power as per the diagrams in this manual.
LOCATING AND LEVELING THE UNIT
Do not install the unit closer than 1-inch from a side wall and/or closer than 1-inch from a rear wall. Level unit by adjusting the (4) feet which have an adjustment of 1-3/4”  43.75mm) for accurate leveling and perfect line-up with other PATRIOT series units.
EXHAUST CANOPY
A vertical distance of not less than 48” shall be provided between the top of the appliance and filters or any other combustible material. Exhaust installation must conform to local codes.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE
Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. After the griddle has been thoroughly cleaned, it should be seasoned to prevent food from sticking. Before using and after each thorough scouring, season the griddle heating surface in the following manner.

1.  Turn temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).
2. Using a clean cloth, not a spatula, spread a thin film of cooking oil over the griddle cooking surface. This film should remain on the hot griddle surface for half an hour.
3. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another half hour and again remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls are a combination of “ON/OFF” switches and thermostats. Turning the dial knob automatically maintains the selected heat range. The PATRIOT griddle line has one thermostat for every 12” section of the griddle. Each thermostat controls the section of the griddle above it and may be set at different temperatures.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the temperature desired. After a short pre- heating period, the thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature.
HEATING LIGHT
Each thermostat has its own HEATING light which indicates when that section’s control knob is active and that section of the unit is not in the off position.
CLEANING CARE

• DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids.
• DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the Griddle, excluding the catch tray.
•  NEVER use a scrubber pad (on all exterior surfaces, except the griddle plate), steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine, and ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Contact a service representative or a local service company for service or required maintenance.
