SETUP

This appliance is designed for use in non-combustible locations only. Setup the hotplate only on a firm, level, non-combustible surface.

Verify local codes for requirements. Concrete, tile, terrazzo or metal surfaces are recommended. Metal or tile over combustible material may not meet code for non-combustible surfaces.

Clearances to non-combustible surfaces must be maintained.

Maintain 0” from side and rear to non-combustible walls, and 4” from non-combustible counter as established by provided 4” legs.

Maintain adequate clearances for cleaning and proper operation.

The hotplate must be installed in an area with sufficient make-up air for proper combustion, and must be installed such that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed.

For servicing, Wells Mfg. recommends 6” clearance from rear of the appliance to wall.

Install adjustable legs, one on each corner of the appliance, in the holes provided.

Verify that the unit sits firmly ON ALL FOUR LEGS. With the adjustable legs, adjust as

required to level the appliance. All four legs must be adjusted to firmly contact the floor in order to prevent tipping.

When used with an exhaust fan, special

precautions must be observed to avoid interference with the operation of the char-

adjustment of this appliance.

The installation of this gas-fired appliance must conform to local codes, or in the absence of such codes, with the current edition of

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

For use in the State of Massachusetts, this appliance must be installed in compliance with Massachusetts Fuel Gas and Plumbing Code

CMR 248.

The installation of this gas-fired appliance must comply with applicable portions of NFPA 96 for ventilation. The current edition of NFPA 96 (Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment) specifies ventilation requirements to ensure the removal of exhaust gasses and products of combustion.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THIS GAS BROILER INSTALLATION CONFORMS TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES.

The venting of this appliance must not be obstructed, nor may such venting interfere with the flow of combustion air required for proper operation of the gas burners.

Additionally:

1.The gas supply line used to connect the appliance to the gas supply system must be black iron pipe, or other material as approved by local ordinance for gas piping.

2.Gas supply piping must be 3/4” inside diameter or greater.

3.Use pipe sealant made specifically for gas piping on all pipe

joints. Apply sealant sparingly to the male threads only. Sealant must be resistant to the action of LP gas.

4.Verify that all supply piping is clean and free of obstructions, dirt, chips and pipe sealant compound prior to installation.

5.All pipe joints must be checked for leaks before lighting. Leak checks should be performed with a soap and water solution. NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

6.This appliance must be installed so that there is adequate and proper clearance for operation and servicing.

WARNING:

RISK OF INJURY

Installation procedures must be performed by a qualified technician with full knowledge of all applicable gas-fired appliance codes. Failure can result in personal injury and property damage.

IMPORTANT:

All pipe joints must be checked for leaks before lighting. Leak checks should be performed with a soap and water solution.

IMPORTANT:

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the current edition of NFPA 96

INSTALLATION (continued)

DANGER:

FIRE AND

EXPLOSION HAZARD

NEVER use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Fire and explosion may result.

IMPORTANT:

All pipe joints must be checked for leaks before lighting. Leak checks should be performed with a soap and water solution.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

This appliance is supplied with a gas pressure regulator. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.

Flow arrow stamped on body of regulator must point toward the griddle.

Vent hole must point UP.

INSTALLING THE GAS GRIDDLE

Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must match the nameplate specifications. Connecting the hotplate to the wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety and/or performance of the appliance.

BE SURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.

The appliance must be placed in its final operational position and leveled front-to-back and side-to-side, with a spirit level, prior to beginning the gas piping installation. Re-check the level of the unit at the conclusion of the gas piping installation.

Each gas appliance is supplied with a separate gas pressure regulator, which must be installed on the manifold pipe protruding from the rear of the griddle. Ensure that the regulator is installed such that the flow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward the griddle. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.

A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a tee, 4” nipple pointing down, and cap must be installed upstream of the gas pressure regulator.

A manual gas shut-off valve may be required by local codes and is, in any case, strongly recommended. The shut-off valve must be installed between the gas supply piping and the gas pressure regulator.

IMPORTANT:

Verify fuel gas type. If the available fuel does not match the nameplate specification, exchange the appliance for the correct type.

IMPORTANT:

The appliance and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from supply system piping during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).

Also, the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION (continued)

SET GAS PRESSURE:

Gas pressure regulator is factory set.

SET PILOT FLAME:

Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel. Remove grates.

The pilot adjustments are near the control valve for each set of burners.

Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the flame size, or counter-clockwise to increase the flame size.

Adjust the pilot flame to 1/4” high. Test for operation: all sections of the burner must light without undue delay. Drafty conditions may require a higher flame to allow the pilot to remain lit.

Replace the grates, front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to service.

ADJUST BURNER FLAME:

Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel. Remove grates and radiants.

Turn an individual burner on.

Loosen the locking screw on the shutter.

Turn the shutter to admit more or less air as required. Adjust the air shutter until the flame is mostly blue in color.

Tighten the locking screw when finished. Replace tall grates and radiants, the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to service.
