INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
This appliance must only be used by qualified professionals
Site this appliance beneath an extraction canopy for the removal of combustion
products.
When making the gas connection, fit an isolating cock into the supply line close to
the appliance for emergency shutdown or servicing purposes.
Installation must include sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of
unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to health in the room of
installation. There must be a minimum free area of 4.5cm2 per kW of total heat
input.
Allow for a sufficient flow of fresh air for complete gas combustion.
Do not connect directly to any flue, ducting or mechanical extraction system.
The gas supply hose or tubing shall comply with national requirements in force and
shall be periodically examined and replaced as necessary.
An equipotential bonding terminal is provided to allow cross bonding with other
equipment.
Install this appliance on a level surface ensuring all vents are unobstructed. Any
partitions, walls or furniture must be of non-combustible material. Minimum
distances A 100mm B 1000mm – see Fig 1.

Fig 1
Gas supply is at the rear of the appliance.
The appliance is type ‘A’. Rooms must be ventilated in compliance with existing
technical regulations. The airflow must not be less than 2 cubic metres per hour per
kW of installed capacity.
If the appliance must be fitted near walls, partitions kitchen furniture etc we
recommend they are made from non-inflammable material, otherwise they should
be covered with a suitable heat-resistant material. Full attention must be paid to fire
prevention regulations.
If the supply pressure exceeds 37mbar for 3rd family gases then an external
regulator must be fitted at the appliance inlet.

Connecting to a gas supply
Installation and connection to the gas supply must only be carried out by a
technician authorised by your local gas supplier. Before connection, ensure that the
appliance is suitable for the type of gas supplied. Ensure the gas supply is provided
with an isolating cock for emergency shutdown. Ensure that the supply hose shall
comply with the national requirements in force and shall be periodically examined
and replaced as necessary. These appliances are to be installed with sufficient
ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances
harmful to health in the room in which they are installed.
Appliances fitted on castors must be suitably restrained to prevent strain on supply
hoses
WARNING : Black domestic hoses are not suitable for this appliance.
Once installation is complete, ensure all joints are leak free.
Purging
Once connected to the gas supply, check for soundness and then purge the
appliance by rotating all control knobs to the ignition position and depressing them.
Hold the knobs depressed to purge the supply pipe and internal pipe work of air
through the pilot injectors. Periodically check for gas flow by depressing the igniter
buttons.
See Technical Data for the supply pressures.
To gain access to the gas pressure test nipple the fascia panel requires
removal. The test nipple is situated on the manifold rail.
Remove the blanking screw and attach a pressure gauge to the boss of the
test nipple.
Light both sides of the griddle and set the thermostats to the highest setting
and check the pressure.
Commissioning must include an operational check of all controls.
Ensure that the operator understands how to light, safely operate, clean and
shutdown the appliance and is aware of the position and operation of the gas
isolating cock.
Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
Preparing the griddle plate
