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″ (153mm).

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.

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.
Floor model broilers are 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 an appliance 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 assemble 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 Connections: The wiring diagram and electrical and gas connections are located be­hind the front plate of the broiler. To remove the front plate:

1. Slip the valve knobs from their stems (no set screws are used).

2. Remove the side screws holding the front plate.

3. Pulling from both sides at the bottom, snap out lower section and lift off.
Power supply for the Flaretrol system should be rated at 120 Volts, 60 Hz. with a current draw of

1.5 Amps maximum. Use rigid or fl exible conduit (fl exible type recommended for counter models);
splice each leg of the electrical supply line to one of the leads at the rear of the Flaretrol switch. Make
sure the broiler is electrically grounded using the grounding lug located adjacent to the conduit box.
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.

Gas Line Connection: Supplied loose with every broiler are a union, a Main Manual Shut-Off Valve
and a gas pressure regulator. The union is to be used for connecting the gas line to the unit and must
be located downstream of the Main Manual Shut-Off Valve and regulator. The Main Manual Shut­Off Valve and the gas pressure regulator should both be mounted in an accessible location near the
broiler, with the Main Manual Shut-Off Valve located upstream of the regulator and the arrow on the
body of the regulator pointing in the direction of the fl ow. The Main Manual Shut-Off Valve must be
located so that the operator’s hand will not be exposed to fl ame or fl ue products when reaching for
the valve handle. Although the regulator may be mounted in any position, it is recommended that it
be located in a horizontal run of pipe with its diaphragm case level.
Supply line size should be suffi cient to provide full input at the broiler. For Model 25, use

1/2″ pipe for runs up to 100 ft. For Models 31 and 41, use 1/2″ pipe for runs up to 50 ft. and
3/4″pipe for runs of 50 ft. or more. For all broilers using PROPANE gas, 1/2″ pipe will be suf­fi cient for runs up to 100 ft.
