WARNING

This gas appliance, its enclosure, and the propane cylinder enclosure, if any, MUST be plumbed and vented in accordance with local building and safety codes and should be approved by local code enforcement

ofﬁcials. This appliance MUST be installed and operated according to the information below.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THE GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH.

A leaking gas connection or valve unintentionally left open will create a hazard.

WHEN USING PROPANE GAS

• Propane gas (also known as L.P. gas) is heavier than air and will accumulate or pool in an inadequately

vented enclosure or recessed area.

• If a pool of propane gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the ﬂoor level, or the lowest

point where gas could accumulate, will eliminate this danger. Refer to the GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section.

Observe all local codes.

• DO NOT store a spare propane-gas cylinder under or near the griddle enclosure.

WHEN USING NATURAL GAS

• Natural gas is lighter than air and will accumulate at the top of an inadequately vented enclosure.

• If an accumulation of natural gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the top of the

enclosure, or the highest point where gas could accumulate, will eliminate this danger. Refer to the GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section.

Observe all local codes.

INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THAT THE REQUIRED VENT OPENINGS AND SURROUNDING AREA OF THE GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE REMAIN CLEAR AND FREE AT ALL TIMES. See the GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section for details.

CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY, you must provide openings in the griddle enclosure for replacement

air and ventilation (in case of possible leakage from gas connections or propane cylinders). Failure to do so may result in a ﬁre or explosion causing property damage, bodily injury, or death. See the GRIDDLE ENCLOSURE / VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section for details.

OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION AND EXHAUST HOOD REQUIREMENTS

A minimum 5 foot clearance is required between the countertop and the overhead construction.

When installed under combustible overhead construction, the area above the cooking surface of the unit must be covered with an exhaust hood. The exhaust hood provides the protection for the combustible overhead construction. See exhaust hood information below and Fig. 10-1.

Important: DO NOT use this appliance under unprotected

combustible overhead construction.

When installed under overhead non-combustible construction, an exhaust hood is highly recommended; see exhaust hood information below and Fig. 10-1.

Exhaust Hood

When using an exhaust hood, the area above the cooking surface of the griddle must be covered with a hood larger than the cooking area of the griddle, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM (cubic feet per minute) for proper outdoor application.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont.)

SIDE AND REAR WALL CLEARANCES

For the minimum clearances between the unit and any side or rear walls, your setup must fall within one (or more) of the following:

A. Clearance between unit and strictly non-combustible

wall

Non-combustible

Min.

(i.e. brick wall, see Fig. 11-1)

• The unit must have a minimum of 4" right, left, and rear clearance from any non-combustible wall.

(To allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous overheating.)

B. Clearance between unit and a protected combustible

wall

(i.e. a non-combustible wall in front of a combustible wall to serve as a barrier. This can be accomplished by brick, or a metal stud ﬁnished with non-combustible substrate, see Fig. 11-2)

• The unit must have a minimum of 14" right, left, and rear clearance from the protected combustible wall.

(The 4" non-combustible material plus an additional 10" clearance between the unit and protected wall.)

C. Clearance between unit and combustible wall

• The unit must have a minimum of 18" right, left, and rear clearance from any combustible wall (see Fig. 11-3).

BACKSPLASH CLEARANCE (if applicable)

If a non-combustible backsplash exists, it must have a minimum of a 4" clearance from the rear of the unit (to allow for proper ventilation and prevent dangerous overheating). See Fig. 11-4.

Important: This 4" backsplash clearance must ﬁrst be met

prior to any non-combustible walls beginning behind it.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (Cont.)

The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing (see CONTROL PANEL REMOVAL section).

COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING AIRFLOW

Proper airﬂow (front-to-back, Fig. 12-1) MUST be maintained for the unit to perform as it was designed. If airﬂow is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will result. Do not block the 1" front air inlet along the bottom of the control panel.

(1" front air inlet)

CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear vent (Fig.

12-3) can cause poor performance and/or dangerous overheating. Install the griddle so that the prevailing wind blows toward the front of the griddle (Fig. 12-2).

GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

For natural gas or a household propane system, rigid

/4" black steel pipe or local code-approved pipe is required

/2" or

to conduct the gas supply to the unit. Contact your local gas supplier. Connect this pipe to the required C.S.A.-approved stainless-steel ﬂex connector (attached). An NPT adapter has been provided for 1/2" pipe. DO NOT use a rubber hose within the unit enclosure. Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses to all male pipe ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely.

Note: If

/2" pipe is used with natural gas, it should be

no longer than 20'.

Important: A shut-off valve (not included) in the gas

line is required. It provides for safety when

the unit is not in use and for convenient maintenance and repair. It must be installed within 6 feet of the unit. Use a pipe joint compound resistant to all gasses on all male ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings.

GAS SUPPLY AND MANIFOLD PRESSURES:

For natural gas - normal 7" water column (w.c.), minimum 5", maximum 10

/2". For propane gas - normal 11" w.c.,

minimum 10", maximum 13".
