MKG SERIES GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION & OPERATION
THIS MANUAL MUST BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
WARNING
Improper installation, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
TO THE PURCHASER
Post in a prominent location the
instructions to be followed in the event that
an operator smells gas. Obtain this
information from your local gas supplier.
WARNING
There is an open flame inside this
appliance. The unit may get hot enough to
set nearby materials on fire. Keep the area
around the appliance free from
combustibles.
WARNING
DO NOT supply the appliance with a gas
that is not indicated on the data plate. If
you need to convert the appliance to
another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT use an open flame to check for
gas leaks!
WARNING
If gas flow to appliance is interrupted, or pilots
extinguish, wait 5 minutes before attempting to
relight the pilot to allow any residual gas in
appliance to dissipate.
WARNING
Ensure that the appliance can get enough air to
keep the flame burning correctly. If the flame is
starved for air, it can give off a dangerous carbon
monoxide gas. `Carbon monoxide is a clear
odorless gas that can cause suffocation.
Models with electric controls are equipped with
an oil proof electrical supply cord, with a threeprong safety plug. This is to protect operators
from electrical shock hazard in the event of an
equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove
the grounding (third) prong from this plug.
This appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as
applicable.
The power supply must be disconnected before
servicing or cleaning this appliance.
Do not attempt to move this appliance when the
unit is at operating temperature. Serious personal
injury could result if skin comes in contact with
the hot surfaces.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
An appliance equipped with casters and a flexible
gas line must be connected to the gas supply with
a quick disconnect device. This quick disconnect
must comply with ANSI Z24.41. To limit the
movement of the appliance without depending on
the connector or quick disconnect, a restraining
cable must also be installed.

MKG SERIES GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION & OPERATION
1. INSTALLATION SECTION:
1.1. CHECKING YOUR NEW GRIDDLE:
Your new griddle has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that your new griddle is
delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If
something is damaged, Contact the shipper immediately; the shipper is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check
the packing list enclosed with your griddle to ensure that you have received all the parts to the griddle. If you are missing
any parts, contact the dealer from whom the griddle was purchased.
In the provided spaces below fill in the Model No., Serial No. and the date the appliance was received. Remove the grease
box and you will find the Information on the Data plate on the inside cabinet wall either on the left or right side, see figure
1 below. Keep this information in a safe place so it can be referred to in the future.

1.2. INSTALLATION CLEARANCES:
Your new MagiKitch’n Griddle needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing
and proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for installation in combustible and non-combustible
construction.
Location Combustible Construction
Inches (Centimeters)
Non-Combustible Construction
Inches (Centimeters)
Cabinet Back 8.0 (20.4) 8.0 (20.4)
Cabinet Sides 2.0 (5.0) 0.0 (0.0)
1.3. GAS CONNECTION:
Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas
pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest
Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing
requirements can be determined by your local gas company by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C,
Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary
amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance.

MKG SERIES GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION & OPERATION
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause
improper operation. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
1.3.1. Fuel Types:
Each appliance is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to
operate is stamped on the data plate, see figure 1.
CAUTION
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may not allow proper gas flow
for the optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooking performance.
1.3.2. Quick Disconnect Connection:
Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors
for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel ANSI
Z221.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the
movement of the appliance. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnects from being strained. The
restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.
1.3.3. Fuel Supply Line and Leak Pressure Testing:
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure
greater than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPA), make sure that the appliance is disconnected from fuel line. If the fuel line is to be
tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPA), the appliance can be connected, but the unit’s gas valve
must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
1.4. VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS:
Your new gas appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach
as high as 1000°F (538 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should
be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the
chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety
systems. This table is not necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East
Pleasant Valley Rd., Cleveland, OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at
least 18 inches of open space between the appliance’s flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. Down drafts will not
allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage
caused by down drafts will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of
combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance flue. DO NOT put anything on the top of the flue area.
CAUTION
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue opening(s). The direct flow of air will cause poor temperature recovery,
poor ignition, and inefficient operation of the appliance and could extinguish the pilot(s).
