SAFETY
THIS GRILL MUST be operated by persons who have been given adequate training.
CAUTION: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST ONLY BE OPERATED UNDER AN APPROVED HOOD SYSTEM.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL UNLESS IT HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED (START-UP) BY A FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
DO NOT operate the grill without reading this operation manual.
DO NOT operate the clamshell grill unless it has been properly installed and grounded. DO NOT operate the clamshell grill
unless all service and access panels are in place and fastened properly.
Means of disconnection, must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with local wiring rules (such as a switch,

External equipotential bonding conductor provided on rear of appliance. Use as applicable, in accordance with local wiring rules.
The Garland clamshell grill is a semi-automatic cooking appliance. The upper platen is lowered automatically, following the
manual; single-handed initiation of the cooking cycle, and the upper platen is raised automatically upon completion of the
cooking cycle.
When two sided cooking, the area between the upper platen and the griddle plate should be regarded as a “danger zone”.
During two sided cooking the operator must not be within this danger zone. When used as a flat grill, then this area is no
longer a danger zone, the platens do not move.
For whatever reason, be it cleaning, maintenance, normal operation, any exposed person must use extreme caution if within
this danger zone.
In two side cooking the upper platen remains in the lowered position by nature of it’s own weight. It is not locked down. It
can be raised by lifting of the handle on the front of the platen, which pivots the platen about its rear mounting point.
The clamshell grill must only be used for single and two sided cooking of foodstuffs in a McDonald’s store and must not be
used for any other purpose.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury: DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of the clamshell grill unless all
main power supplies to the grill have been disconnected.
USE EXTREME CAUTION in setting up, operating and cleaning the clamshell grill to avoid coming in contact with hot grill
surfaces or hot grease. Suitable protective clothing should be worn to prevent the risk of burns.
WARNING: This appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet. DO NOT apply ice to a HOT grill surface.
NOTE: All warning labels and markings on the grill, which call attention to further dangers and necessary precautions.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, (HCS) - The procedures in this manual include the use of chemical products. These
chemical products will be printed in bold face, followed by the abbreviation (HCS) in the text portion of the procedure. See
the Hazard Communication Standard, (HCS) manual for the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(s), (MSDS).
WARNING: After turning the master power switch to the START position, the grill will go through an initialization process.
If the upper platens are in the lowered position they will return to their raised upper position. This movement takes ap-
proximately 8 seconds.
MAINTENANCE - the platen support arms carriage block bearing bushes, the platen adjuster nuts, the platen support (shoulder)
bolt and the cam follower should be checked annually for wear. Should there be any noticeable play in the bearing bushes
and any visible wear on the platen adjuster nuts, platen support bolts or cam follower, then they must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE - the audible alarm that sounds at the end of a cook cycle is to advise the operator that the platen is about
to move. The function of this device may be tested by pushing the left hand CANCEL button. If no sound is heard, ensure
that the alarm volume is not set to low in SYSTEM SETUP. If there is still no sound then a service engineer should be called
out to rectify the fault.
SERVICE AND CLEANING - The grill may be secured in the grill bay by the installer using two anchors that lock onto the front
casters. If the grill is to be moved out of the bay for cleaning or service, remove the anchor from each caster by turning the
knob counterclockwise to loosen the retainer. When the retainer is free of the caster, lay the assembly aside on the floor.
CLEANING - NEVER clean the grill, interior or exterior, using a high-pressure sprayer, water jet, or any other liquid sprayer.
NOTE: If anchors are present, the anchor assembly remains fastened to the back wall of the grill bay. After service or clean-
ing is complete, return the grill to its position in the bay and reattach the anchors by placing the retainer on the caster post
and turning the knob clockwise to tighten.
NOTE: For safety reasons, the grill must be secured in the grill bay in this manner before operation can resume.
