1.3. 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. The appliance can be serviced from the front of the unit, however it
may need to be pulled away from the wall for access to the gas supply and electrical supply connections.
Ensure that all clearances stated on the Data plate and in the table below are strictly followed.
Inches (Centimeters)
Cabinet back 8.0 (20.4) 8.0 (20.4)
Cabinet Sides 2.0 (5.0) 0.0 (0.0)
Inches (Centimeters)
1.4. Gas Connection(s)
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/NFPA 54 Latest Edition, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA-B149.1 as applicable, 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 C4 (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.
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Supplying incorrect
gas will cause improper operation. Contact your Dealer for another gas type for the appliance.
1.4.1. Fuel Type(s)
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 or printed on the data plate, see Figure 1.
CAUTION
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may
limit proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance.
1.4.2. 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.
1.4.3. 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.
1.5. 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. 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 operation of the appliance. Leave
at least 18 inches of open space between the flue opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
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
