Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specified on the rating plate. The installation
gas connection is a

3

/4" (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe. Connect gas

supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Codes require that a gas
shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Standard ranges are equipped
with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation. Install the gas pressure
regulator.
Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas supply.
The gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is
sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside the oven cavity. This
regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer.
Natural gas regulators are preset for 5" W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane
gas regulators for 10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)

1. Locate

3

/4" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.

2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.

3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body
back (Fig. 7).

4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 7).

The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow. The pressure regulator
must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator
is installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper
operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape.
Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause
regulator to malfunction.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE
FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to
remove air.
Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve. The

thermocouple should be tightened a

1

/4 turn past finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Over-tightening may damage the thermocouple or safety magnet.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When gas supply pressure exceeds

valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig(3.45kPa) or less, the range should be isolated from
the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve until the range is
ready for start-up.
FLUE CONNECTIONS DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the
rear of the range. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the
building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum
clearance of 18" (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from
the standard for the "Removal of Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No.
96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Regulates gas flow to the griddle. To increase heat, turn knob counterclockwise, to decrease
heat, turn knob clockwise.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Griddle Seasoning (

CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored

or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or

optional models

)

gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula
by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the

9

griddle is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is
important to “season” or “fill up” these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning
gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.
To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil
per square foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the
oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an
insulated cloth.
Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
LIGHTING AND SHUTTING DOWN PILOTS
All adjustment procedures associated with pilot lighting must be performed by an

authorized vender installation or service person.
