Before assembly and connection check gas supply.

A. The type of gas for which the unit is equipped is stamped

on the data plate located behind the lower front panel.
Connect a unit stamped “NAT” only to natural gas;
connect one stamped “PRO” only to propane gas.

B. If it is a new installation have the gas authorities check

meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied
with necessary amount of gas pressure required to
operate the unit.

THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION.

Gas Connection

The local gas authority should be consulted at the
installation planning stage in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas and to ensure
that the meter is adequate for the required ow rate. The
pipe work from the meter to the appliances must be of an
appropriate size.

All xed (non-mobile) appliances MUST be tted with a
manual gas-cock upstream of the appliance to provide a
means of isolation for servicing or cleaning purposes. A
union or similar means of disconnection must be provided
between the gas-cock and the appliance.

A manually operable valve must be tted to the gas supply
to the kitchen to enable it to be isolated in an emergency.
Wherever practical, this shall be located either outside the
kitchen or near to an exit in a readily accessible position.

Where it is not practical to do this, an automatic isolation
valve system shall be tted which can be operated from a
readily accessible position near to the exit.

At locations where the manual isolation valve is tted or
the automatic system can be reset a notice MUST be tted
stating:

“ALL DOWNSTREAM BURNER AND PILOT VALVES MUST
BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE THE
SUPPLY. AFTER EXTENDED SHUT OFF, PURGE BEFORE
RESTORING GAS.”

Electrical Connection

C. If it is additional or replacement equipment have the gas

authorities check pressure to make certain that existing
meter and piping will supply fuel to the unit with not
more than 1/2” water column pressure drop.

NOTE: When checking gas pressure, be sure that all other
equipment on the same gas line is on.

The appliance and its individual shut-o valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system pressures in excess of
1/2 PSIG (3.45kPa).

Adequate clearance must be provided for servicing and
proper operation.

Models with sux “RC”

IMPORTANT – This appliance must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes.

Ventilation Air

The following notes are intended to give general guidance.
For detailed recommendations, refer to the applicable
code(s) in the country of destination.

Proper ventilation is highly essential for optimum
performance. The ideal method of ventilating open-top
equipment is the use of a properly designed canopy which
should extend six inches (152mm), beyond all sides of the
appliance(s) and six feet, six inches (1981mm) above the oor.

Part # 4500195 (02/20/08)Page 8

Part # 4500195 (02/20/08) Page 9

INSTALLATION Continued

A strong exhaust will create a vacuum in the room. For an
exhaust vent to work properly, replacement air must enter
the room. The amount of air that enters must be equal to the
amount exhausted.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT

All ttings and pipe connections must be tested for
leaks. Use approved gas leak detectors, soap solution or
equivalent, checking over and around all the ttings and
pipe connections. DO NOT USE A FLAME! Accessibility to
all gas lines and ttings require that valve panel(s), lower
front panel(s), and/or oven rack(s) be removed. It may be
necessary to remove, or at least raise and securely prop
griddles, hot top, and/or top grates. All parts removed,
(including fasteners), should be stored safely for re­installation.

1. Be sure that all valves and thermostats are in the “OFF”
position.

All gas burners and pilots need sucient air to operate. Large
objects should not be placed in front of the appliance(s),
which would obstruct the ow of air into the front.

7. Shut o all valves and set thermostat dials to “OFF” or
lowest position.

All units are tested and adjusted at the factory, however,
burners and pilots should be checked upon installation and
adjusted if necessary.

CAUTION: Gas will ow to the top section burners even if
top section pilots are not lit. Gas will not be interrupted. It
is the responsibility of the operator to conrm the proper
ignition of each burner as it is turned on. Should ignition
fail to occur 5 seconds after turning a burner on, turn the
burner o, wait 5 minutes, and try again.

2 Turn on the main gas supply valve. Light all top section

pilots.

3. Leak test all valves and ttings as described at the
beginning of this section. Correct any leaks as required
and recheck.

4. Light the oven pilot.

5. If the range is equipped with an oven on/o valve
separate from the thermostat, turn this valve on. If
the oven thermostat dial has an “OFF” position the
thermostat is its own on/o valve.

6. In either case, now set the thermostat to 500°F (260°C).
Leak test all valves and ttings as described at the
beginning of this section. Correct any leaks as required
and recheck.

Griddle Seasoning

1. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water, mild detergent or soap solution.

2. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface,
about one-ounce per square foot of griddle surface.
Spread over the entire griddle surface with a cloth to
create a thin lm. Wipe o any excess oil with a cloth.

3. Light burners, set at lowest possible setting. Some
discoloration will occur when heat is applied to steel.

4. Heat griddle slowly for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wipe away
oil. Repeat the procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle
has a slick, mirror-like nish. Do this until you have
reached the desire cooking temperature.

IMPORTANT: Do not attain high (on valve control) or 450°F
(on thermostat control) during “break-in” period.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT Continued

NOTE: The steel griddle surface will tone (blue discoloration)
from the heat. This toning will not diminish function or
operation and is not a defect.

The motor on your range convection oven is maintenance
free since it is constructed with self-lubricating sealed ball
bearings. It is designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care. We have a few suggestions to
follow on the care of your motor.

A. When the motor is operating, it cools itself internally by

air entering the rear of the motor case, provided proper
clearance has been allowed.

B. Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the

same temperature as the oven. If the motor is stopped
while the oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is
conducted down the shaft and into the armature of the
motor. This action could shorten the motor life.

Convection Ovens (RC)

Lighting:

1. Drop down the lower front panel below the door; hold
the reset button (RED) located on the oven safety valve
(See prior).

2. Push the red igniter button repeatedly until the oven
pilot lights. (Igniter button located next to the safety
valve.)

C. We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting

period, when the oven will be idle for any period of time
or before shutting down completely, that the doors be
left open, and by use of the cool down position on the fan
switch, the fan continues to run for at least 20 minutes.
The “FAN” should never be turned “OFF” when the oven is
“HOT”.
