This appliance, its pressure regulator and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 PSIG. This appliance and its pressure regulator must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG. For your protection, we recommend

a qualied installing agency install this appliance. They should be familiar with gas installations and
your local gas requirements. In any case, your gas company should be called to approve the nal

installation. In addition, there should be posted, in a prominent location, detailed instructions to be

602HWD, 602HDS and 606HD. On Models 602HD-SU, 604HD-SU and 606HD-SU the pilots for the front burners
are located in front of the burners, on the rear burners pilots are located on the side of the burners. On Model
601SPRD, the pilots are located on the right side of each burner. Pilots should be lighted immediately after the gas
is turned on by the manual shutoff valve.

1. Turn control knobs to "OFF" position.

2. Light pilot with a lighted taper.
3 The pilot valves are located on the manifold installed at

the front of the unit behind the front panel. For access
to the valves

4. Loosen the set screws securing the knobs in position,
and remove the knobs. Remove the front panel, which
is attached to the frame with 4 sheet metal screws.

the air shutters to give a soft blue ame having luminous tips and open to a

point where the yellow tips disappear, then tighten the locking screws. Repeat
this procedure with the remaining burners.

8. Install the front panel to the front of the frame & reconnect and secure the knobs
back into position.

ADJUSTING UNIT FOR USE ON PROPANE GAS

Units are shipped with orices and pressure regulator for operation with natural gas (6" water column). To convert

unit from natural to propane gas follow these instructions (Note: LP models are factory set for propane gas and do

not require a conversion. these can be converted to natural gas using the natural gas orices and converting the

regulator to natural gas):

1. Set regulator outlet pressure to 10" water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the manifold can be removed for attaching
a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted cover from the pressure regulator and invert the plug. Replace the cover
on the regulator and plug on the manifold. Regulator is now set at 10" W.C.

2. Remove natural gas orices, #46 for all models except 601SPRD, #.125 for 601SPRD, and install propane
orices, painted black, (#54 for all models except 601SPRD, #45 for 601SPRD) located in a bag on the outside
of the front panel. In order to remove natural gas orices:

a. Remove grates and burners.

b. Remove orices from the manual valves and from ttings on extended gas pipes,

replace with the propane orices.

c. Install burners and grates.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Each burner will deliver up to 22,000 BTU/HR of heat on all models except 601SPRD (on 601SPRD each burner
is rated 55,000 BTU/HR for natural gas and 45,000 BTU/HR for propane) and is controlled by a manual On/Off
valve. The right control knob controls the front burner and the left control knob controls the rear burner on all models
except 601SPRD. On the 601SPRD, the right control knob controls the inner burner and the left control knob
controls the outer burner. After the pilot is once lit and adjusted, the burners will ignite automatically by turning the
control knob to any position between On and Off.CLEANING THE EXTERIOR (Stainless Steel Only)

The exterior surface can be kept clean and attractive by regularly wiping it with a clean soft cloth. Any discoloration
can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner. The burner grates and trough tray can be removed for cleaning.
