1. Wipe the frame of the unit with a non-abrasive cloth dampened in warm water and a mild soap. Stubborn stains may be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner. Hard to reach areas should be cleaned with a small brush and mild soap.

2. Wipe the frame of the unit thoroughly using a non-abrasive cloth dampened in warm water only.

3. Dry the frame of the unit using a clean, dry, non-abrasive cloth.

NOTE: Oil and fats will build up on the griddle surface over time. This eventually will begin affecting the performance of the Crepe Maker. An abrasive stone is available as an accessory (see OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES). Use the abrasive stone to strip the griddle on a regular basis to maintain performance of the unit. The “Seasoning the Griddle(s)” procedure must be performed after stripping the griddle.

Converting Between Fuels

Conversion of a unit between natural gas and propane requires replacement of the orifice, adjustment to the air ring position, and adjustment to the low setting (setting "1") of the Temperature Control. This procedure must be performed by an authorized and certified gas equipment installer.

WARNING

Turn temperature control to off ("0") position, close individual gas shutoff valve, and allow unit to cool before performing any cleaning, adjustments, or maintenance.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD: This unit must be serviced by qualified personnel only. Service by unqualified personnel may lead to explosion or burn.

1. If the unit already has been installed, turn the Temperature Control fully clockwise to setting "0", and close the gas shut-off valve. WARNING! Always close gas shut-off valve when unit is not in use.
2. If the unit already has been installed, remove the restraining device and disconnect unit from the gas supply line.
3. Turn over unit and set it on a piece of cardboard or something similar to prevent damage to the griddle surface.
4. Remove the base of the unit.
5. For round frame units:
   a. Unscrew and remove the three feet along with the restraining ring.
   b. Remove the screw on the gas line clamp.
   c. While holding the gas line, carefully slide the base out from underneath the gas line and off the unit.
6. For rectangular frame units:
   a. Remove the screws the secure the base plate to the frame.
   b. Remove the screw on the gas line clamp.
   c. Carefully pass the gas line through the rectangular cutout while sliding the base off of the unit.

b. Position the base on the frame and reinstall the screws.

c. Reinstall the screw through the gas line clamp.

1. Turn the unit over to its upright position, and connect the unit to the gas supply line. Refer to the INSTALLATION section for information.
2. Perform the "Adjusting the Low Setting" procedure in this section.

Adjusting the Low Setting

Adjustment to the low setting (setting "1") is necessary when converting a unit from one type of fuel to another. Proper adjustment to this setting is necessary to ensure that the burner flame does not go out when moving the Temperature Control rapidly between the highest and lowest setting. The low setting adjustment screw is located behind the Temperature Control knob.

1. Perform the "Lighting a Burner" procedure in this section.
2. Push in and turn the Temperature Control counterclockwise to the maximum setting of "10".

3. Leave the unit at this setting for 2–3 minutes.

4. Turn the Temperature Control clockwise to the lowest setting of "1".

5. Remove the Temperature Control knob by pulling straight out.

6. Using a small flat-bla screwdriver, make the appropriate changes to the adjustment screw setting:

de Knob

- Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise increases the flame height. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise decreases the flame height.

- For proper adjustment on the lowest setting, the flame should be approximately a half a pin head above each burner hole.

Adjustment Screw

- For propane units: turn the adjustment screw fully clockwise.

- For natural gas units: while watching the burner flame beneath the griddle, turn the adjustment screw in 3/4-turn increments in the appropriate direction to reach the proper setting.

1. Replace the Temperature Control knob.

Safety Thermocouple

To ensure safe operation of the gas crepe maker, the end of the safety thermocouple must be positioned in the flame 1-1/16" (27 mm) above the mounting bracket.

Ignition Spark Plug

For proper ignition of the burner, make sure the ignition spark plug is positioned 1/8" (3 mm) above the safety thermocouple.
