Griddle Leg Assembly: Right Leg vs Left Leg Installation Guide

Quick answer

For a safe and stable griddle, always match the right leg assembly to the correct side of your unit. This guide walks you through identifying the right leg, installing it, and checking for common mistakes.

Step-by-step installation

1. Identify the right side: Stand behind the griddle (the side where you cook). The right leg goes on your right-hand side. Check the leg for any markings or compare it to the old leg you removed. Common mistake: installing the leg on the wrong side, which can cause the griddle to wobble.
2. Remove the old leg: Lay the griddle on its side on a soft surface. Use a wrench to remove the bolts securing the leg. Keep the bolts; they are often reusable. Checkpoint: inspect the bolts for stripping or rust before reusing them.
3. Position the new leg: Align the new right leg assembly with the mounting holes. Ensure the leg's foot faces outward and the mounting bracket sits flush against the griddle frame. Common mistake: forcing the leg into place, which can strip threads. If it doesn't align, recheck the side.
4. Secure the leg: Hand-tighten the bolts first, then use a wrench to tighten them fully. Do not overtighten; you can strip the threads. Checkpoint: after tightening, give the leg a gentle shake to confirm it is stable.
5. Verify the griddle is level: Stand the griddle upright and place a level on the cooking surface. Adjust the leg if needed, or check that the floor is even. Common mistake: ignoring an uneven floor and blaming the leg.
