Repairing Imperial Flat-Top Griddles
Imperial flat-top griddles use model-specific control boards, sensors and wiring layouts, so we start by reading the model and serial number from the rating label. That tells the technician which parts fit and whether any service bulletins apply to your unit.
How we repair your Imperial Flat-Top Griddle
A flat-top griddle is a commercial thick steel cooking plate heated from below by gas burners or electric elements with thermostat or manual controls. A flat-top griddle uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
A down griddle or charbroiler can shut down a line station, so commercial cooking surfaces are scheduled as priority visits.
