Clearance Instructions:
1. For use in non-combustible locations only - For use only on non-combustible counter tops, where
minimum clearance from sides and back is 6″ (153 mm).
2. The appliance area must be free and clear of all combustible items.
3. The unit must be leveled before placing it in operation. Level the unit on an uneven surface to
prevent rocking, adjustable feet have been provided. (Floor models only).
4. When using gas broiler, keep the appliance area free from obstructions that could block the
fl ow of fresh air for the ventilation and Flaretrol systems.
If a fl oor model broiler is equipped with adjustable legs use an open-ended wrench on the
bottom hex of each leg to adjust the height and to level the broiler.
When a fl oor model broiler is supplied on casters and is connected to the supply piping by
means of a connector for movable appliances, the operator must be aware of the restraints on the
appliance and if disconnection of the restraints is necessary to reconnect this restraint after the
appliance has been returned to its originally installed position.
For an appliance equipped with casters the following criteria must be met:
1. The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard or Connectors
for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 - CSA 6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI
Z21.41 - CSA 6.9.
2. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance
movement
3. The location(s) where the restraining means may be attached to the appliance shall be specifi ed.
The broiler is shipped with knobs unattached. To install knobs, align shaft fl ats with knob fl ats
and press on (no set screws are used). When pressing, reach under broiler and support valve shafts.
Do not hammer knobs as valve damage could occur.
Electrical: The wiring diagram is located inside the electrical box cover plate.
The Flaretrol system is rated at 120 Volts, 60 Hz. with a current draw of 1.5 Amps maximum.
Installation wiring and grounding of the broiler must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes in the United States to National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or latest edition; in Canada,
to Canadian Electrical Code, CSA Standard C22.2.
WARNING: Electrical grounding instructions - This appliance, is equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard, should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from the plug.
Gas Line Connection: The gas pressure regulator is factory installed. TAMPERING OR REMOVING
THE REGULATOR WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES
Supply line size should be suffi cient to provide full input at the broiler. For Model 25 & 25
Kabob, use 1/2″ pipe for runs up to 100 ft. For Models 25W, 31, 31 Kabob, 31N and 41, use 1/2″
pipe for runs up to 50 ft. and 3/4″
gas, 1/2″ pipe will be suffi cient for runs up to 100 ft.
Use pipe joint compound resistant to Liquefi ed Petroleum Gases. Check the broiler piping and
valves for gas leaks by applying a weak liquid soap solution to unions and joints with the gas supply
on. Leakage will be indicated by the appearance of soap bubbles. Locate and correct all gas leaks
before proceeding.
