piping system during any pressure testing of that system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2
psi (3.5 kPa).

2. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the as supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

If the gas Pro Burner is factory built for natural gas, the regulator needs to be set for 4” water
column. The regulator is convertible Later to 10” water column for system LP application. Do not
use with a 20-lb LP cylinder.
Make sure that the regulator is set for natural gas. To check, remove the top cap. You will find
the conversion plastic pin attached to the cap to the underside of the cap. If the disc (1/2 in.
diameter) of the pin is close to the cap, then the regulator is set for natural gas. If the disc is at
the tip of the pin, away from the brass cap, the regulator is set for system LP application. To
convert to natural gas, remove the plastic conversion pin and invert and replace it back in a
manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap. For both natural and LP, the maximum inlet
pressure is 14” water column.

Do not use any replacement regulator other than that specified by RCS. Use only pipe

sealants that are approved for use with natural and LP gases. An installer-supplied gas Shutoff
valve must be installed in an accessible location.

A minimum clearance of 1” from the back of the Pro Burner

Above cooking surface to non- combustible construction is required.
A minimum of 1” clearance to the sides of the Pro Burner above cooking surface to non-
Combustible construction is recommended.

NOTE: DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNDER OVERHEAD CONBUSTABLE SURFACES

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and any other Pro Burner, which causes
the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire behind
the valve panel, damaging the Pro Burner and making the Pro Burner unsafe to operate. Inspect
the burners once a year or if the Pro Burner has not been used for more than one month or if
any of the following conditions occur:

1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.

2) The Power Burner does not reach temperature.

3) The Power Burner heats unevenly.

4) The burner makes popping noises

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
The Power Burner is made of stainless steel construction.

Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial cooking use, certain
areas of the Pro Burner may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the internal heat
given off by the burner. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and
get baked-on. These can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a
stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the Pro Burner.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the
highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on
highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very
lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain

PRO BURNER GRATE MAINTENANCE

The easiest way to clean the grates is to scrub them with a barbeque brush immediately after
cooking is completed and the flame is turned off.

Wear a heat protective barbeque mitt to protect your hands from the heat and
steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grates. Dip the brush
frequently in tap water. Steam, created as water comes in contact with the hot Power Burner,
helps loosen food particles stuck in the Power Burner. These food particles will either get burned
or fall into the cleaning pan. Cleaning of the Power Burner would be longer and more difficult if
the Pro Burner grates are allowed to cool before cleaning.

BURNERS CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Burners are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and can be cleaned using a bristle brush,

warm water and soap. Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean out clogged
ports. Make sure the burner is dry before installing it back to the Pro Burner.

DRIP PAN

The drip pan collects grease, liquid and fallen food particles. Allow the pan and its contents to
cool before cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe it clean. Make sure the drip pan is fully inserted
back into the Pro Burner. It is highly recommended to clean the pan after every use
to avoid any possibility of a grease fire. DO NOT use the Pro Burner without the drip pan
pushed all the way to the back of the Pro Burner unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE LIGHTING THE PRO BURNER

1) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT THE PRO BURNER IF YOU SMELL GAS.

2) WARNING! IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE GAS BURNERS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED

WITH THEIR ORIFICES INSIDE THE BURNERS AIR SHUTTERS. If not properly installed,
gas may leak outside of the burner that could lead to fire, potential damage to your Pro
Burner and bodily injury.

Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas ON. If there is evidence of cuts,
wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. The replacement pressure regulator and
hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the Pro Burner if
the odor of gas is present.

If the unit is LP, screw the regulator and hand tighten to the valve of the cylinder and leak
check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the
Pro Burner. Make sure you always read about LEAK PRVENTION.
