make sure they did not come loose during shipment.
2. The installation of this unit must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.l/NFPA 54 - latest edition, or the
booklet titled “CSA B149.1-10: Natural gas and propane installation code”. This booklet
is available from the American Gas Association, 400 North Capitol St., NW, Washington,
DC 20001. Natural Gas units (model numbers containing ‘NAT’) should never be
connected to propane sources and propane units (model numbers containing ‘LP’)
should never be connected to a Natural Gas source. If in doubt contact a certified
and experienced installer.
3. A manual shut-off valve should be installed between the gas supply system and the
gas inlet on the appliance. This item is not included with the unit and must be
purchased separately. A gas regulator should be installed on the gas supply line to
maintain a 5” WC for Natural Units and/or 11” WC for LP(bottled gas) units. This is in
addition to the appliance regulator supplied with the unit. This item is not included and
must be purchased separately.
4. The appliance 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
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
5. 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
system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
6. Before the initial lighting of this appliance, check for gas leaks by applying a soapy
solution to all connections. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR APPLIANCE LEAKS.
VENTILATION:
1. Care should be taken so as not to obstruct the area around the burner or pilot. DO NOT
close off the space between the undershelf and lower edge of the body. A minimum of
4 inches air space must be maintained between items stored the undershelf
and the burner.
2. DO NOT obstruct the ventilation air flow or the combustion air flow. Keep area around
the front and the rear of the unit clear.
3. This unit must be placed in an area free and clear from combustibles.

CAUTION: When loading the pans into the wells, do not drop the pans
as this may cause the pilot flame or the main burner flame to be extinguished
from the concussion. Always check the pilot and burner flames after
loading pans into the wells.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GAS MODELS ONLY.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
For The HF & WB Series
1. Turn all control and the main gas valves to the off position. Wait at least 5 minutes
before trying to light the pilots. This will allow any gas that has accumulated in the
burner compartment to escape.
2. After waiting 5 minutes, open the main gas valve and place a lighted match at each pilot
and adjust the pilot to a height of at least 5/8 inches. This can be performed by taking
a screwdriver and placing it in the pilot adjustment screw slot and turning it. Turn the
screw counter clockwise to increase the pilot flame, or clockwise to make decrease it.
(See Figure 4)
Figure 4
3. If the pilot extinguishes, repeat the lighting instructions beginning with STEP 1.
4. Turn the main burner valve in a counter clockwise direction to the desired setting. If the
main burners do not light within 4 seconds, then repeat the light instructions
beginning with STEP 1.
For The SPWB Series
1. Turn all manual valves to the off position. Wait at least 5 minutes before trying to
light the pilots. This will allow any gas that has accumulated in the burner compartment
to escape.
2. Depress the reset button while holding a lighted match to the pilot. Keep the button
depressed for at least 60 seconds so that the pilot will remain lit.
3. Release the reset button, if the pilot does not stay lit, then repeat the lighting instructions
beginning with STEP 1 and allow a longer period of time before releasing the button.
4. Adjust the pilot flame to a minimum height of at least 5/8 inches. This can be performed
by first removing the pilot adjustment screw cap located on the valve. Next turn the pilot
adjustment screw to the approximate flame height. Finally, replace the pilot adjustment
screw cap.
5. If the pilot remains lit, then turn the main burner valve in a counter clockwise direction to
the desired setting. If the main burners do not light within 4 seconds, then repeat the
light instructions beginning with STEP 1.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GAS MODELS ONLY.
SHUT-DOWN INSTRUCTIONS:
1. For a nightly shut-down, just turn the main burner manual valve in a clockwise direction
to off position.
2. For a seasonal shut· down, tum the main burner manual valve in clockwise direction to
off position. Then turn the pilot adjustment screw also in a clockwise direction until the
screw is snug and there is no longer a pilot flame.
HEATING INSTRUCTIONS:
For The HF Series
1. Turn the main burner manual valves to the maximum setting for approximately 10 to 20
minutes with the openings covered before the food is placed in the compartment. The
pan openings should be covered to prevent the loss of heat.
For The WB & SPWB Series
1. Fill the water compartment with a maximum of 2 inches of HOT water.
2. Turn the main burner manual valves to the maximum setting for approximately 15 to 30
minutes with the opening covered before the pans containing the HOT FOOD are
placed in the unit.
3. The height of the burner flame that is required to hold at a desired temperature will vary
with different types of operations. Many things will effect this such as room temperature,
air movement, amount of food in pan, size of pan, amount of water in unit, and food
turn over. Experience, in most cases, will determine the correct setting for your usage.

inserting the food into the hot food table. These tables are designed for maintaining
the food temperature for serving only. Food must be heated to at least 150° prior
to insertion.)
3. Set desired holding temperature using the guidelines below.
FOR WET USE: (Electric & Gas Hot Food Models)
1. Wet bath and sealed well units are designed to place water directly into the
wells. All other units require spillage pans (model #’s SP-S or SP-A)
2. Fill spillage(water) pan with 1” of HOT tap water.
3. Turn well onto the high mark and heat for 35-40 minutes. Each well will need to be
pre-heated in this same manner.
4. Place already cooked food in the wells and cover. (Food must be cooked prior
to inserting the food into the hot food table. These tables are designed for
maintaining the food temperature for serving only. Food must be heated to at least
150° prior to insertion.)
5. Set desired holding temperature.
6. Maintain water level in pan through the shift.
WARNING: Make sure that the units’ voltage is the same as the incoming voltage.
If you are not sure check the label on the unit for specifications. Plugging or wiring the unit into a
lesser voltage may damage certain components or cause the unit to not perform correctly. Plugging it
into a higher voltage may cause severe damage to the components.
