Adequate clearance should also be provided for proper operation and servicing. AIR SUPPLY Make certain not to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Provisions for adequate air supply must be furnished. The legs supplied with the unit must be installed. Make certain that air intake openings in the bottom of the appliance are not obstructed. They are essential for proper combustion and operation of the appliance. EXHAUST CANOPY It is essential that facilities be provided over the griddle to carry off fumes and gases. However, the unit should not be directly connected to a flue or stack. LEVELING UNIT This griddle is supplied with (4) feet which must be screwed into the legs attached to the body.

GAS PIPING Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of LP gases. WARNING: Any loose dirt or metal particles which are allowed to enter the gas lines on this appliance will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from loose dirt. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each griddle. It should be connected to the inlet pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply line is then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6" (15.24cm) water column manifold pressure for use with natural gas. MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE A manual shut-off valve should be installed upstream from the union and within 6 feet (1.829m) of this appliance. PROPANE GAS This griddle is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use on natural gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orifice hoods, located in the grease drawer, as follows: 1. Remove front panel by removing screws located on the front and the bottom. 2. Remove the burner(s) from the orifice hood(s). This is accomplished by removing the burner mounting screw(s) and sliding the burner(s) off the hood(s). 3. Remove natural gas orifice hood(s) and install the propane hood(s) furnished. 4. Reinstall burner(s). Note: TMGM & TMGT units use a #47 drill orifice for natural gas and a #55 drill orifice for propane. 5. Reinstall front panel. 6. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded, plug from the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and reinstall. The letters "LP" should now be visible on the plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4cm) water column. 7. Set manifold pressure to 10" (25.4cm) water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the supply pipe can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE The gas inlet of the griddle is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line. CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the purpose shall be used in locating gas leakage. Matches, candle flame, or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping system for leaks. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS When griddle is first lit, it will smoke until the preservation oils and impurities are burned off. 1. Turn off main valve to unit and wait 5 minutes to clear gas. 2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves. 3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots. 4. Turn burner knobs to desired setting. 5. To turn burners off, turn knobs off. NOTE: The griddles are equipped with standing pilots and should be lit immediately after the gas is turned on. Pilot flames can be lit and observed through the front panel view ports. However, best access for lighting the pilot is from the bottom of the unit just behind the center wall. PILOT LIGHT REGULATION Adjust pilot light flames as small as possible, but high enough to light burner immediately when burner valve is turned on high. BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS TMGM) 1. Remove the front panel. 2. Turn burner valve knob to "HI" position. 3. Close the air shutter on the front of the burner to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips and open to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained. Repeat for all burners. BURNER ADJUSTMENT (MODELS TMGT) 1. Remove the front panel. 2. Push dial in and set thermostat of one burner to 450°F (229.9°C). 3. Close the air shutter on the front of the burner to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips and open to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained. Repeat for all burners. BURNER OPERATION (MODELS TMGM) To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI" position. Each burner is controlled by an individual high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve knob to any position between high and low. For overnight shutdown, turn the valves to the "OFF" position. SEASONING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE (NON-CHROMIUM SURFACES) 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 the temperature control dial to 350°F (174.9°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 1/2 hour. 3. Remove excess oil and wipe clean. 4. Apply another film of cooking oil over the hot cooking area for another 1/2 hour and again remove excess oil and wipe clean. The griddle surface should now be ready for use. Even with careful seasoning food may, to some extent, stick to the griddle cooking surface until griddle plate is "broken in." COOKING (MODELS TD) Set the thermostat dial knob to the temperature desired. After a short preheating period, the thermostat will automatically maintain the selected temperature. GREASE PAN A grease pan is located at the front and can be removed for cleaning from the front. This pan should be checked and emptied when necessary. CAUTION EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING THE GREASE PAN CONTAINING HOT GREASE. GRIDDLE CARE (NON-CHROMIUM AREAS) It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top efficiency. If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then carbonize into a hard substance which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this condition, the following suggestions for cleanliness should be followed: 1. After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or flexible spatula to remove excess grease and food. A waste drawer is provided for the scrapings. If there is an accumulation of burned on grease and 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. 2. Daily-use a clean cloth and good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel body of the griddle. Wipe the polished front with a soft cloth. 3. At least once a day remove the waste drawer and wash in the same way as an ordinary cooking utensil. The drawer is removed by pulling forward, up and out.
