INSTALLATION
VENTILATION HOODS
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking
appliance to exhaust combustion waste products to the outside
of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an
exhaust hood. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any
industrial hood. Consult local codes before constructing and
installing a hood.
Room air movement should be monitored during installation.
Strong exhaust fans in the hood or in the overall air conditioning
system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and/or cause
air drafts – either may interfere with the pilot or main burner
performance and can also be hard to diagnose. If pilot burner or
main burner outage problems persist – make up air openings or
baffles may have to be provided in the room.
Provisions shall be incorporated in the design of the kitchen to
ensure adequate supply of fresh air and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber, for proper combustion
and ventilation. For proper operation of the appliance, do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
INSTALLATION – GAS STANDARDS AND CODES
IMPORTANT – The installation of this appliance must conform
to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code, CSA 149.1 as applicable,
including:
1.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
2.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45kpa).
The appliance, when installed, must be wired, and electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2 as applicable.

GAS CONNECTION – The Range or Hot Plates requires one gas connection. The gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4" NPT. For
proper operation, the gas service supply line must be the same size or greater than the
inlet line size of the appliance.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE – A gas pressure regulator and a contractor-supplied shut-off valve must be plumbed in the gas
service line ahead of the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

The gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas line – failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty. The
regulators supplied with ranges have 3/4" NPT connections; the regulator is adjusted at the factory for 5" W.C. (water column) manifold
gas pressure (natural gas) or 10" W.C. manifold gas pressure for propane gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure – as these regulators can only withstand a maximum inlet pressure of
14" W.C. (1/2 PSI); exceeding this pressure will damage them. Visually double check any installer-supplied intake pipes and/or blow them
out using compressed air to clear any dirt or debris, threading chips, or other foreign matter – before installing a service line. Those
particles will clog gas orifices when gas pressure is applied. Compounds used on threaded joints of this appliance piping must be resistant
to the action of NG and LP gas and provide a gas tight seal to prevent leaks. If the gas supply line pressure is greater than this amount, a
step-down regulator will be required. A gas flow direction arrow is cast into the body of the regulator to minimize installation error – it
should point downstream to the appliance. The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and should not be
removed.
Any adjustment to the regulator must be made only by qualified and licensed service personnel with the proper calibrated test equipment.
Gas connections should be run by a qualified licensed contractor.

the Products, and (iii) if any end-user customer is not a Consumer, the Warranty Duration from the date of purchase of the Products by such enduser customer from Seller’s Distributor/Dealer, not to exceed (30) months from date of manufacture. A Consumer MUST provide proof of purchase
of the Products from Seller or Seller’s Distributor/Dealer, including the delivery date, to a Seller authorized service agency. If no product invoice or

material and workmanship for the Warranty Duration effective from the date of purchase by Consumer. A Customer or end-user customer that is
not a Consumer MUST provide proof of purchase of the Products from Seller or Seller’s Distributor/Dealer to a Seller authorized service agency. If

end-user customer’s exclusive remedy. Any improper use, alteration, repairs, tampering, misapplication, improper installation, application of improper
voltage or any other action or inaction by Customer, an end-user customer or others (including the use of any unauthorized service agency) that in
