Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
Gas equipment is factory-set to use either natural gas or liquid propane. Field-convertible equipment allows your unit to accept the other gas type (so for example a natural gas unit could be converted to use liquid propane), but this conversion must happen before it is used.

For safety reasons, a qualified service professional should perform the conversion. Your equipment’s warranty may require that such conversions be done by a professional, and failure to do so may void warranty coverage.

We recommend that you communicate with your installer to also arrange for the gas type conversion at the time of installation.
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
While various configurations combining traditional 1/3 size, 1/6 size, and other food pan sizes are possible, it's important to refer to your equipment's Specification Sheet and/or Owner's Manual to see what pan sizes and configurations are recommended. Certain accessories may be needed in order to use pans of a different size than what is recommended. It is also important to note that mixing and matching pans from different manufacturers may result in the pans not fitting properly.

Completely undependable! Withing two weeks of purchase the first thermo-couple failed. Unfortunately a universal therm-couple will not fit due to the different threading used by the Chinese manufactures on the gas valve itself so had to have my technician order an entire replacement gas valve kit ($300+)....from China! It's been three weeks and the part has still not arrived. Today a second thermo-couple failed. Rather than reorder another replacement part from China and wait for potentially months to receive it, we will likely sell the unit for scrap after a total service life of less than 30 days. Extremely disappointment that Webstaurant, who we trust and have purchased from for years. would offer such a total piece of junk to unsuspecting buyers.

This griddle is working good, no doubt about that. We had/still have problems to adjust die pilot flame as it is way too big. We called the hotline and they gave us a number from "whatever". We called and explained our issues and they promised to give us a call back. They never did and we still have problems with the big pilot flame. I guess you are on your own once you bought and paid for the items. The manual must be one from an older production line as it is not even close to what we received. This is NO GOOD !!!

Worst purchase we have ever made from webstaurantstore.com and they are being ridiculous about making it right. Purchased a few months ago and was delivered with no issues, but had to sit in storage room for few months while we finished renovating kitchen. Once we had it hooked up, we discovered it would not get over 200 degrees no matter what the dials are set to. We have spent over $36,000 with this company and had zero issues till now. They are forcing us to wait for who knows how long for warranty company to fix it when it should have simply been replaced from them as defective. Will start transitioning to another supplier from now on for as much as we can. They apparently don't care about customer loyalty.

I bought it a month or so ago, and I just fired it up...well, I tried it, but the Pilot is too big to light it’s too far in any lighter to light to keep the grill lit, very unhappy with this griddle too many problems I contacted Webstaurant, and they sent me to the warranty department. it's been almost a week, and I still have not heard anything. Now I'm stuck buying another one because there is zero help with this one. DO NOT BUY

The griddle is decent but has some shortcomings. First, the edges between the splash guards and the cooking surface are not well sealed. Fluids run between them and inside the unit making a mess to attempt to clean. The right-most thermocouple gave us problems after the first couple of months of use. Eventually, it died completely and is integrated into the control valve so field replacement isn't easy. I've called for warranty service and been told that the earliest repair possible "might" be nearly two weeks. Don't buy from CPG if their service is going to be so deaf to the needs of a restaurant. If we had the money, we'd just replace the unit with a Southbend.

Unit came defective. One pilot would not light after being converted to LP Gas. Webstraunt said it was a warranty claim and refered me to ready kitchen to file a claim. Failed claim online and still haven't received any help. I ended up fixing the pilot myself.

Where to begin. First, this is an overall solid griddle. I bought this for our food trailer. That being said, the 'simple field conversion' to propane is not so true. First the instructions sent with my 48" thermostatic controlled unit only show the conversion of a manual unit, so throw them out the window. You have to take the front faceplate off to access the orifices for each of the burners to convert to LPG. Then you have to disassemble the underside plates to access the pilot tubes to change out their orifices without removing the top cooking surface to do the same job. Time spent on 'simple field conversion: 1 hour'ish(once we figured how to do it without instructions). Second, the regulator sent with the unit has NO adjustability...period. if you need more or less WC, you can't get Read More

We bought this because it was the size we needed to fit into a crowded space to fill out a full range of equipment. The 15 inch width is perfect - we have used 12 inch griddles and found they are simply too narrow to cook anything. This width is good as long as you do not ave to put too much on it at a time. Big pluses are the very heavy griddle top, and cast iron, which gives you very steady temperature, also aided by the thermostatic control. With a good griddle and precise heat you can really control cooking of a wide variety of items. Main thing to watch is that it is a little say to turn pilot light off, and because that is located deep behind the front panel it takes a long straw to relight.

I purchased this seven months ago. It works as advertised. All and all I'm happy with the unit. My only complaint is the pilot light. It is a challenge to light as it is located about 13" back through a small hole, not reachable with a standard grill lighter. It is very difficult to find the pilot light the first time.
