Safety Information (continued)

NOTICE

These models are designed, built, and sold for commercial use only.
Keep operating area clean.
Before using this equipment, it must be cleaned thoroughly. Failure to clean surfaces before using the unit

could cause food contamination and excessive smoking. Clean all surfaces before use.
Do not spray controls or outside of unit with liquids or cleaning agents.
Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is a result of the rust-preventing coating

burning off. Allow the unit to “burn in” for at least 30 minutes before first use.

This unit is intended to be used to as a cooking
appliance in commercial foodservice operations only. It
is not intended for household use.

If you have questions concerning the installation,
operation, maintenance or service of this product,
contact your authorized service agent.

THESE UNITS ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON
NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES ONLY.

Noncombustible and unit clearances: 6" sides (152 mm)
6" rear (152 mm) 4" countertop (102 mm)

There must be adequate clearance for removal of the
front panel. All major parts except the burners are
removable through the front if the gas line is
disconnected.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air, under the unit near the legs or behind the unit near
the flue. The space between the legs at the bottom
admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE. Do
not place objects between the bottom of the unit and
the counter top.

If equipped, the vent line from the gas appliance
pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in
accordance with 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 B149.1, as applicable.

Installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code
ANSI/NFPA 58, CSA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation
Code, CSA-B149.2 as applicable and in accordance with

local codes.

• The appliance and its individual shutoff valve
(to be supplied by user) must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

• 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit.
Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the
units' sides or back. Avoid wall type fans, which create
air crosscurrents within a room.

It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed
to enter the room to compensate for air removed by
any ventilating system. Otherwise, an abnormal
atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and
causing undesirable working conditions.

A properly designed and installed hood will act as the
ventilating system for the room or area in which the
unit is installed. For more information about air flow
and venting, please read NFPA 96: Standard for
Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial
Cooking Operations
