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.
1. From bag of hardware, install compression nut (1) then ferrule (2) onto
riser line (3).

2. Install riser line (3) onto pan. First
install line into elbow (4) on bottom
center of pan while handle fits over
studs (5) on front of pan.
3. Install keps nuts (6) onto studs (5) but
do not tighten.
4. Tighten nut onto elbow (4).
Elbow may have to be
turned with a wrench if nut
will not start onto elbow.
5. .Lubricate O-ring (7) with cooking oil.
1600: Install O-ring (7) into inner
groove in suction line (6). Screw nipple
(9) into drain valve (10).
1800: Install O-ring (7) into groove on
riser line (3).
6. Install filter pan under unit and align
riser line (3) with suction line (8).
7. Tighten keps nuts (6) mounting riser
line (3) to filter pan.
8. See Operation Manual for additional
assembly.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
These models are available for either 208,
240 or 480 applied voltage, 60Hz, 3 phase
electrical connection in the USA and several voltages for export applications.
Be sure to check the wiring diagram located
inside the front panel. It shows electrical
circuits and connections. See Access For
Hook-Up under ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP.
•All electrical work must conform with the
requirements of national, state and local
electrical codes.
•When installing or servicing the unit,
always check the dataplate located on
the front panel (1600) or toward the rear
of the counter top (1800) to make certain proper parts are used and the correct service rendered. DO NOT apply a
voltage to any unit other than that
shown on the dataplate. If in doubt,
consult your local power company.
•A remote circuit breaker or fuse should
be installed in main power supply
located in a path of exit and clearly identified.
•When installed, the unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, or for Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable.
•Use copper wire only for connections.
•If power run is over 50 feet, use next
larger size wire.
