1 - PRE-INSTALLATION
LOCATION
For convenience and speed, location of the
unit should be given careful consideration.
If possible, locate the unit so the flow of
cooked product is in a straight line from
storage, in and out of the unit and to the
customer. Landing tables should be provided on at least one side of the unit.
• To avoid splashing of hot liquid, unit
must be restrained to prevent tipping.
This can be done by installing the unit in
a battery of appliances, in an alcove or
with adequate ties
• Provision must be made to eliminate
movement of the unit which might cause
strain on electrical and gas connections.
• DO NOT install unit where traffic areas
are on either side or in back of unit.
CLEARANCE
USA & EU:
Gas units are to be installed only in noncombustible locations. Minimum clearances for non-combustible construction is 0 inches from sides and 6 inches
from back.
CANADA:
Gas units are certified for installation on
a combustible floor. Minimum clearances for combustible construction is 1
inch from sides and 6 inches from back.
LEVELING
Adjust front feet to level entire unit. Add
additional blocking if necessary on a sloping floor.

RECOMMENDED VENTILATION
General Requirements:
REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust hood should comply with ANSI/
NFPA #96 or national, state and local
codes. All units must be under an adequate
power exhaust hood for ventilation of cooking vapors and products of combustion.
Precautions should be taken in the design
of the exhaust hood to avoid interference
with operation of the unit. Consult a local
ventilation company for fire suppression,
design and installation of a hood.
DO NOT extend the
exhaust stack or exhaust
flue of any unit. Doing so may cause a negative back draft causing malfunction and
interference with burner operation on the
1800GH and improper exhausting of cooking vapors on all units.
1. Exhaust hood must conform to applicable national, state and local codes.
2. It is recommended that requirements
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Standard No. 96 be followed for the design, installation and
use of exhaust system components.
This includes hoods, grease removal
devices, exhaust ducts, dampers, air
moving devices, auxiliary equipment
and fire extinguishing equipment for
the exhaust system and the cooking
equipment used therewith in commercial, industrial, institutional and similar
cooking applications.
3. Hood Size: The overhead canopy
type hood should be sized to completely cover the equipment it is
designed to ventilate plus an overhang
of at least 6 inches on all sides of
equipment not immediately adjacent
to walls or other construction extending above the cooking surface. Noncanopy, prefabricated “backshelf”
type hoods should be sized according
to the manufacturers specifications.
4. Exhaust Air Volume (minimum):
Canopy hood open on all four sides:
1800 cu. ft./minute. Canopy hood
open on three sides or less: 1200 cu.
ft./minute.
5. Exhaust Air Velocity: All exhaust
ducts should be sized to provide an air
velocity in the ducts of at least 1500
ft./minute.

GAS PIPING
• The Model 1800GH is equipped with a
1/2” pipe for gas connection. Shipped
with each unit, for 3/4” gas connection,
is one each of the following:
• Be sure gas supply piping is of the
proper size for the BTU input. Take into
consideration all other gas appliances
which must operate from the same gas
supply. Be sure piping will not interfere
with drain pails or valves.
P/N 00743 - Bushing Hex Reducer
3/4 to 1/2
P/N 01319 - Coupling 3/4 Pipe
• Use only black steel pipe and malleable
fittings for gas connections.
• Pressure loss in the piping must not
exceed 0.3” W.C.
Unit Dimensions For Gas Hook-Up:
• A compound resistant to the action of
liquified petroleum gas should be used
on the threads of gas supply piping
joints. Check all connections and pipes
with a soap and water solution. bubbles
indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use an
open flame to check for gas leaks.
