COMBUSTIBLE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS: 6″ Sides • 6″ Back

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE:
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If equipment is received damaged, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. It must then be signed by the carrier representative (ie: the driver). If this is not done, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
Concealed damage or loss if not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated, a request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to retain all contents and packaging material.
Installation and service should be performed by an authorized service agency. If you have questions concerning the installation, operation, maintenance, or service of your equipment, visit CPG’s website at www.CookingPerformanceGroup.com.
Make sure that the floor where you plan to locate the griddle is capable of supporting its weight along with any accessories. Adequate clearance should be provided for proper operation and servicing. Level the griddle once you’ve uncrated it in your facility using the adjustable feet.
Proper ventilation is crucial to safe and optimum performance. Ensure that the griddle is installed underneath a ventilation hood according to all applicable local and national codes. Keep adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.

Gas Connection

NOTE: This griddle ships from the factory configured for areas with an altitude that is lower than 6,500 feet.

1. Ensure gas supply and gas type, as shown on unit serial plate agree. Unit installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the National Gas Installation Code, CSA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CSA-B149.2 as applicable and in accordance with local codes.
2. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance and gas pressure regulator for safety and ease in servicing.
3. The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed on the appliance prior to connecting the equipment to the gas line. Failure to install a regulator could be potentially hazardous and will void a limited equipment warranty.
4. Pipe threading compound must be resistant to the effects of liquefied petroleum gases.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. Check all gas piping for leaks with a soap and water solution prior to operating the unit.

Cooking with a Chrome Plated Griddle

Your new CPG chrome plated griddle has excellent heat retention and heat transfer as well as minimal flavor transfer. CPG has created a griddle that offers a reduction in energy costs and clean up time, translating into a great deal of profit savings.
Since the chrome plated griddle has such a high level of heat retention, it acts as a heat shield that does not allow as much upward radiation, creating a cooler work environment. The significant amount of heat retained on the chrome griddle also allows for a rapid heat transfer, which produces faster cook times at lower temperatures.
Unlike steel plate griddles, the chrome plate on the griddle prevents food particles from getting trapped on the cooking surface, thus preventing flavor transfer. In other words, your pancakes for breakfast will not taste like last night’s salmon.

Lighting Instructions

The pilot light on the griddle has been pre-set at the factory. A screwdriver may be required for the initial lighting to adjust the flame for your elevation.

ADJUSTING PILOT LIGHT

1. Turn off the manual valve and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn all knobs to the “OFF” position.
3. Hold an ignition source (match) at the pilot. When the flame is established, remove the ignition source.
4. Turn burner knobs to “ON”. If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more.

If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset the burner ignition.
The pilot flame should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of burners when knobs are turned to “ON”.

LIGHTING PILOT LIGHT

1. Select the burner required, depress, and turn the corresponding gas control knob counter-clockwise to the “PILOT” position.
2. With the gas control knob depressed, manually light the pilot burner.
3. Release the gas control knob approximately 10-20 seconds after lighting the pilot burner.
4. The pilot burner should stay lit. Provided it does not repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Rotate the gas control knob counter-clockwise to desired temperature mark.
6. The main burner will now be ignited automatically.
   NOTE: If you want the pilot to remain ON:
   DO NOT move the knob back towards “OFF” from the pilot.
   If you want to extinguish the pilot:
   Turn the knob back to the “OFF” position.

Seasoning Griddle

NOTE: Seasoning is not required, but the below procedure may be done to improve the non-stick qualities of the cooking surface.

1. Heat the griddle to 300-350°F (150-180°C) and pour on a small amount of cooking oil, about 1 oz. (30cc) per square foot of surface.
2. Spread the oil over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to create a thin film.
3. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean lint free cloth.
4. Repeat this procedure 2 times.

Operating Instructions

• The finish on chrome-plated griddles is delicate and must be handled with care. Be sure to follow suggested guidelines for care and maintenance to prevent voiding the warranty.
• Please note that the griddle is NOT intended for use where the surface will be hacked, hit, cut, or chopped on. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS IS IRREPARABLE.

1. Turn the burners on to the desired temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. We recommend the operating temperature for a chrome griddle to be 10-15°F lower than standard griddles. Start with lower temperatures and increase as necessary.
2. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners.
3. Upon completion of each batch of food, scrape the work area of the griddle clean with the blade scraper.
