SET UP

1. Remove all packing material and tape, as w el l as any protectiv e plastic f rom the equi pment.

2. Place the equipment in the desired position and height.

3. Install the four (4) legs onto the equipment.

4. Clean and dry the equipment thoroughly before using.

INSTALLATION:
The installation of this equipment must conform with local code s, or wit h the National G as Code , ANS IZ 223.1/ NFPA 5 4, or the

Natural Gas and P rop ane I ns tallati on C ode , CSA B149 .1, as appl icab le.

• The equipment and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures in ex cess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

• The equipment must be isolated from th e g as su pply pipin g sys tem by cl osing its in dividu al m anual shu toff va lve du rin g any pres su re

testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less then ½ psi (3.5 k Pa).

Clearance and positioning around the equipment:

• This equipment must be installed adjacent to non-combustible surfaces only w ith a minimum spacing of 6” from all sides. This

equipment must be a distance of 6” from other equipment. The equipment must have the 4” legs installed and be placed on a non­combustible surface.

Air Supply and ventilation:

• The area in front and around the equipment must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Adequate clearance must be maintain ed at all tim es in front of and at the si des of the equipment for servi cing and prope r ventilation.

Pressure Regulator:

• All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure reg ulator on the in com ing service lin e for safe and ef ficien t operation. The

regulator provi ded f or t his equipment is adaptable for both Nat ural gas and LP gas .

• Regulator specifications: ¾” NPT inlet and outlet, factory a djust ed f or 4” WC Nat ural Gas s tandard and m ay be conv erted by

qualified personnel to be used for Propan e at 10” WC.

line pressure. The regulator can only withstand a

maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” WC). If the line

pressure is beyond this limit, a step down the regulator

before the regulator provided will be required. The

arrow on the bottom shows gas flow direction and

should point downstream to the equipment.

Gas Conversion:

• Conversion from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane (LP) or vice versa may only be performed by the factory or its authorized

service agent. In case of troubleshooting, ensure the correct orifice sizes of the spuds have been provided.

• Natural Gas Orifice is # 39

• Liquid Propane Gas Orifice is #52

• Orifice size is marked on the spud

LIGHTING TH E PILOT:
The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately a fter the gas is supplied to the
equipment.

1. Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.

2. Turn off all gas control knobs.

3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.

4. The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole in the front panel at

the pilot tube. When the flame ignites remove ignition source.

5. Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.

Smoke app earing on initial use of the equipment is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative co a ting burning off. Allow the
equipment to “burn in” for at least 15 minutes before the first use.

Pilot Flame Regulation:

• The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot flames as small

as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately when the b urner valve is turned to the highest setting. Access
to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained by removing the front panel.

Burner Adjustment:

• Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to hig hest setting. Slowly decrease mixing ring aperture to

give a soft blue flame having luminous tips. Then slowly increase opening to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a
hard blue flame is obtained.

4. Allow the equipment to pre-heat before attempting to use.

5. Adjust the valve set -point to obtain the desired level of heat.

CLEANING:
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your equipment daily.
DO NOT clean equipment with steel wool.

1. Allow the equipment to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Using a wire brush, scrape the griddle plate to remove any food residue.

3. To clean equipment, use either a damp cloth, sponge with soapy water or a metal scraper.

4. Empty and clean the drip tray.

MAINTENANCE:

• A qualified service company should check the unit for safe and efficient operation on an annual basis.

• Gas piping shall be a certain si z e a nd installed to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas input o f the

equipment.

• A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the mani fold within 4 ft. (1.2m) of the equipment and in a

position whe re it can be reached in the event o f an emergency.

• Check entire gas piping system for leaks every so often. Using a gas leak detector or soapy water solution is recommended.
