INSTALLATION
Location
The unit represented in this manual is intended for
indoor use only. Be sure the chosen location has
a oor strong enough to support the total weight
of the unit . Reinforce the oor if necessary to
provide for maximum loading. For the most efcient
operation, be sure to provide good air circulation
inside and out.
Leveling
Be sure that the units are placed on a rm, at
surface/oor. Check for cracks in ooring or tile
and avoid these areas if possible. If necessary
place support pads, properly rated for the weight
of the unit, to “bridge” uneven or cracked ooring.
Level the unit accordingly.
Stabilizing
Use the leg adjustments to insure that the unit
is solid to the oor surface at all contact points.
Insure that the unit does not “rock” when pressure
is applied to the top corners.
Gas Connection
Gas food warmers are available for natural gas
and propane. All gas connections service must be
performed by a certied plumber and must comply
with local codes.
