ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
For your protection we recommend that a qualified electrician work on
connecting this griddle. He should be familiar with electrical installations
and all electric codes. Proper connections and power supply are essential for
efficient performance. The external wiring should be in conduit or an approved
type of flexible cable suitable for operation at the temperature indicated on
the wiring diagram for your unit, 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 local electrical code.
The body of the griddle should be grounded.
Before making any electrical connection to this unit, check that the power
supply is adequate for the voltage, amperage, and requirements stated on the
nameplate. This unit will be shipped ready to hard wire. Make certain to
disconnect the unit from the power source before installing or removing any
parts. Be absolutely sure that the ground connection for the receptacle is
properly wired. Do not connect equipment to power without proper ground
connections. Improper grounding may result in personal injury or fatality.
WIRING
Models 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 as
described on the phase diagram.
EG-36S and EG-48S models are recommended to be wired for 3-phase operation.
EG-48S models are

DAILY OPERATION
GRIDDLE CARE
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and
performing at top efficiency. If grease is permitted to accumulate, it forms a
viscous residue and then carbonizes, making it extremely difficult to remove.
To prevent this condition, the following suggestions for cleanliness should be
followed.
i. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to
remove excess grease and food and maneuver it into the grease chute. If there
is an accumulation of burned on grease and/or food, the griddle should be
thoroughly scoured and reseasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone while the
griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel slivers
getting into the food
ii. Daily use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the
stainless steel body of the griddle is recommended. Wipe the polished front
with a soft cloth so not to scratch the finish.
iii. At least once a day, remove the grease drawer and wash it using the same
process as an ordinary cooking utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling
forward until it is released from its track.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE HEATING 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.
i. Turn the temperature control dials to 350°F (177°C).
ii. 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.
iii. Remove the excess oil and wipe clean.
iv. 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 combination “ON/OFF” switches and thermostats.
Turning the dial knob automatically maintains the selected heat range. There
is one thermostat for every twelve [12] inch (305 mm) wide section that
operate independently.
COOKING
Set the thermostat dial knob at the desired temperature. After a short pre-
heating period, the thermostat will automatically maintain the selected
temperature.
IDLING
During idle periods, to save on operating costs, lower the temperature setting
of the thermostat to about 250°F (121°C). It is not necessary to maintain
cooking temperature during idle periods, as the griddle can quickly be
reheated to the desired temperature.
SIGNAL LIGHTS
Each thermostat has its own signal light which indicates when the unit’s
control knob is not in the off position.
GREASE PAN
The grease pan on the front is hot and contains hot grease. Take care when
removing and emptying the tray. The tray should be checked and emptied on a
regular basis.
