In order to eliminate any operation problems and
to insure proper operation, the installation of this
rotisserie must be done in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual by a qualified
gas service installer. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the rotisserie and building, or cause
personal injury to personnel. The following
requirements are required for installation of this
rotisserie: Air Supply, Electrical Connections, Gas
Connections, and Gas Exhaust.
The gas appliance installation must be
completed in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes
installation must comply with National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition). In Canada, the appropriate code is the
Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1.
Installation and adherence to these codes must be
completed by a qualified installer with regard to:
Gas Plumbing, Gas Appliance installation,
Commercial Cooking Ventilation, Water and
Plumbing, and OSHA Regulations.

Installation of this rotisserie must include a
provision for an adequate flow of fresh air for gas
combustion. This requirement must be observed by
the installer as well as the operator. The bottom of
the rotisserie provides air supply access for gas
combustion and must be kept clear at all times.
OPERATOR
CAUTION
Make certain the area around
the bottom of the rotisserie is
kept clear of obstructions to
allow a continuous supply of
fresh air for gas combustion.
Make certain the rotisserie installation maintains
adequate air ventilation to provide cooling for
electrical and gas components. The area around the
rotisserie should be clear of any obstructions which
might retard the flow of cooling air. Failure to
observe this caution may result in damage to the
control components and will void the warranty.
OPERATOR
CAUTION
Do not use circulating fans on
the floor. Floor fans will cause
the loss of pilot flame and will
affect burner operation.
Local and the National Fuel Gas Code provide rules
for determining the amount of fresh air necessary
for combustion and ventilation of commercial
cooking appliances. The codes will help determine
if additional outside air may be necessary to meet
health and safety regulations.
Ensure that the electrical supply matches the
specification on the rotisserie data plate. Gas models
available for USA and Canada are typically rated for
110-120V, 60Hz, 1Ph. An electric cord is supplied
and is ready to use. The oven must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or in Canada
with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. The
installation of any wiring or electrical connections
must be done by a licensed electrical contractor.
ACCESSING CONTROL AREA
To access the electrical/control system, make sure to
disconnect power and ensure the gas supply is shut
OFF before removing any access panels. The
electrical diagram is affixed to the rear of the unit.
A copy of the electrical diagram is shown at the back
of this manual. Service or changes must be done by a
licensed electrical contractor in accordance with local
codes and regulations.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a threeprong (grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded threeprong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The installation of this rotisserie must be
completed by a qualified installer familiar with the
local codes and regulations governing the installation
of commercial gas appliances. The installation must
be made in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). In Canada, the
appropriate code is the Natural Gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2.
Both the appliance and the individual appliance
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 psi (3.45 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing the individual
appliance manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
GAS TYPE & PRESSURE
Check the nameplate information to determine
the type of gas for which the rotisserie was
manufactured (natural or propane) and make certain
the gas supply matches the nameplate information.
Check the nameplate to determine the gas
manifold pressure for the rotisserie. The minimum
supply pressure to the appliance must exceed this
value by at least 1" w.c. It is recommended that the
supply pressure be between 6" w.c. and 14" w.c. for
natural gas, and 11" w.c. and 14" w.c. for propane.
GAS CONNECTION
The minimum size of the gas piping or flexible
connector is 3/4" (19mm). For long runs of gas
piping, the pipe diameter must conform to the tables
in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI/NFPA Z223.1
A listed gas shut off valve must be installed
upstream of the appliance for shutting off the gas
supply while servicing. This valve should be
installed so that it is accessible with the appliance in
the normally installed position.
The rotisserie is supplied with casters, therefore,
installation must be made with a flexible connector
that complies with the Standard for Connectors for
Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69; or in Canada,
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-
6.16-M87. When using a flexible connector, a quick
disconnect device must also be used that complies
with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for
Gas Fuels, ANSI Z21.41; or in Canada, Quick
Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuels, CAN1-6.9.
When a quick disconnect device and flexible
connector are used, a restraining device must be
installed to limit the movement of the appliance in
order to prevent damage to the connector or quick
disconnect. An example of such a system uses 2000
pound test stainless steel cable attached to a
structural member of the kitchen wall behind the
unit. The attachment means must include a quick
connect snap that can be disconnected when the
appliance must be moved away from the wall. The
other end of the cable should be permanently
attached to the rear frame of the rotisserie. The cable
should be of sufficient length so that no strain is ever
placed upon the flexible gas connector if the
appliance is accidentally moved without initially
disconnecting the gas connector.
Routing of the flexible connector must not be
installed under the
rotisserie. The
temperature in this
location is much
too hot for safe
operation. The
flexible connector
must be routed so that
it forms a downward
"U" loop between the
building gas supply
and the attachment at the rear of the rotisserie.
OVERHEATING DANGER!
THE GAS PIPING MUST NEVER
RUN UNDER THE BURNER

LEAK TESTING
If a pressure leak test above 1/2 psi is to be
conducted on the building supply gas piping, the
shutoff gas valve and rotisserie inlet gas supply line
must be disconnected from the building supply
piping before conducting the pressure test. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the manual gas
valve and/or gas components in the rotisserie.
If any gas leak tests are to be conducted at
pressures equal to or below 1/2 psi, the manual gas
shut off valve upstream of the rotisserie must be
turned off before conducting the tests.
Leak testing of the internal oven piping system
was conducted before shipping the rotisserie from
the factory. If additional testing is needed, it should
only be conducted at normal gas supply pressures. If
the testing is performed using combustible gas in the
piping, leak testing should be conducted with a soap
solution (bubble checking) or other approved liquid.
NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS
USING AN OPEN FLAME
The use of electronic combustible gas leak
detectors may be helpful. Such detectors can be
oversensitive, however, they may help find leaks that
are not visible when checking with a liquid solution,
and, therefore, present no hazard.
When starting the rotisserie after initial
installation, the gas lines must be free of air which
may take up to 30 minutes. If the burners do not light
after this period of time, call factory for assistance.
The rotisserie is not to be directly connected to a
chimney vent system nor directly connected to a
horizontal exhaust system. The unit must be
installed under a ventilation hood listed as ANSI/UL
705 (latest edition), and the installation must be
conducted in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 961987, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire
Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.
Operators of the rotisserie should be
instructed not to place any material on top of
the rotisserie that would obstruct the flow
of flue products from the opening.
Operators should also be instructed that
flue gases are hot and any material or items placed
on top or in front of the flue defector could be
damaged or cause a fire hazard.
This unit is equipped with a manual "direct spark
ignition" for ease of lighting the burners. The
intermittent push button switch is located on the
control panel to the left of the control knobs. This
switch sends a signal to a spark module that
energizes all of the igniters and lights the burner.
The electrodes are located just above the burner
under the burner cover on the right hand side of the
rotisserie. These electrodes are very fragile and care
must be taken if adjustment is required. Special care
must be used to prevent breakage of the porcelain
insulator. If the porcelain is damaged or broken, the
igniter assembly must be replaced. The end of the
electrode must have a gap of 1/8” to 3/16” (3mm to
5mm) from the top surface of the burner. The spark
must be maintained between the electrode and the
burner for proper ignition.
The gas train and orifice for the main burner has
been fitted according to the gas type specified on the
data plate. Technical specifications for the gas
