left side of unit from underneath.

Once pressure test is completed, turn power
switch and thermostat to the "OFF" position and
replace control box cover using self tapping
screws removed earlier.

5. Have a qualified gas technician check the gas
pressure to make certain that existing gas
facilities (meter, piping, etc.) will deliver the
BTU's of gas required at the unit with no more
than 1/2" water column pressure drop. When
checking pressure, be certain that all the
equipment on the same gas line is turned to the
"ON" Position

3. The correct type of gas for which the unit was
manufactured is noted on the rating plate, and this
type of gas must be used.

4. A pressure tap is supplied with the unit just before
the pilot solenoid valve which is installed on the
manifold. The gas pressure must be checked when
unit is installed, to ensure unit gas pressure is the
same as specified on rating plate. For access to the
pressure tap, remove front panel, turn power
switch to the "OFF" position as a precaution, and
remove the two self tapping screws which secure
the left control box cover. Turn power switch and
thermostat to the "ON" position (using extreme
caution) and complete pressure test.

Remove any packing material from unit. On
stainless steel panels, the protective material
should be removed before the unit is installed.

2. Set skillet in position where gas and electrical
services are nearby. Comply with clearances
stated on the specification sheet. Ensure there is
sufficient clearance between fry pan and back
wall Check for overhead clearance to
accommodate for hinged cover when in the
raised position.

For ease in attaching the supply lines there is a
removable cover on the electrical housing. Feed wire
through hole in the center of the electrical housing and
attach to the terminal block.

IMPORTANT: This appliance must be electrically
grounded in full accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the Canadian Electrical
Code C22.1 or with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990 (whichever is applicable).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

A direct electrical connection is required at the
terminal block located near the front side of unit. The
supply line will enter through the rear (or bottom) of
the skillet. Refer to specification sheet for the exact
locations.

It is recommended that a sediment trap (drip leg) be
installed in the gas supply line. If the gas pressure
exceeds 14" water column, a pressure regulator must
be installed, to provide a maximum of 14" water
column gas pressure to the gas contr ol valve.

Connect the gas supply piping to the input side of the
gas control valve. Location and pressure data are
shown on the specification sheet. Installation must be
in accordance with local codes and/or the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-1988 (USA) or

VENTILATION

A gas skillet must be installed in a location in which the
facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion
of gas and proper venting. Proper ventilation is
imperative for good operation of the appliance. The
ideal method of ventilating a gas skillet is the use of a
properly designed ventilating canopy, which should
extend at least 6" (152mm) beyond all sides of the
appliance (except against a wall, if the canopy is a wall
installation). This is usually part of a mechanical
exhaust syst em.

Further information can be obtained by referring to the
U.S.A. National Fire Protection Associations NFPA96
regulations. These standards have also been adopted by
the National Building Code in Canada

AIR SUPPLY

1. It is necessary that sufficient room air ingress be

allowed to compensate for the amount of air
removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a
subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur,
affecting the appliance operation adversely and
causing undesirable working conditions.

2. Appliances shall be located so as not to interfere

with proper circulation of air within the confined
space. All gas burners and pilots require sufficient
air to operate.

3. Large objects should not be placed in front of the
appliance which might obstruct the air flow
through the front Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.

4. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the
appliance, and wherever possible, avoid open
windows adjacent to the appliance sides and back;
also wall type fans which create air cross-currents
within the room.

START UP PROCEDURE

This appliance has been factory tested and adjusted
under ideal conditions but, rough handling, low gas
pressure, altitude or variations in gas characteristics
may require fine adjustment.
