The Ultra-Max™ series gas hotplate is equipped for the type of gas indicated on the nameplate
mounted on the front panel. All units are shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. The unit can
easily be converted for use with propane gas: see propane gas.

-IMPORTANT-

Be sure to remove all paper protection and packing material from unit prior to lighting.

Install on non-combustible countertop with 4" legs or combustible oor using a maximum

27" high stand. Clearance from combustible construction must be 9" minimum from
back wall and 7" from side walls. Clearance from non-combustible surfaces on back
and sides may be 0". For servicing, 6" is recommended from back of unit on non-

combustible walls.

NOTICE

When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the casters supplied, a connector
complying with either ANSI Z21.69 or CAN/CGA-6.16 and a quick-disconnect device complying with
either ANSI Z21.41 or CAN1-6.9. It must also be installed with restraining means to guard against

transmission of strain to the connector, as specied in the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

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.

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.

EXHAUST CANOPY

Open hotplates create fumes, moisture, heat, and should be installed under an efcient exhaust hood
with ame proof lters. A vertical distance of not less than 48" shall be provided between the top of
the appliance and lters or any other combustible material. Exhaust installation must conform to local

Caster Kits: Casters can be used with oor stand models or optional equipment stand. For installation, carefully mark

and cut off from the bottom of each leg using a straight cutting saw and de-burr the inside tube wall prior to installing the

caster. Cut leg should measure 19" tube length, not overall length. On SFC models only, use kit number ES-UM36SFC.
Casters add about 6-1/4" of height to the unit. Be sure to use approved strain relief means for protecting gas line

connection. If an appliance is equipped with casters and is gas connected with a quick connect coupling, all personnel

GAS PIPING

Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufcient to meet the

full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be checked
to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on the male
threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases. WARNING:
Any loose dirt or metal particles which are allowed to enter the gas lines on this appliance will damage

the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance, all pipe and ttings must be free from

all internal loose dirt.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each hotplate. It should be connected to the inlet pipe
at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it. The supply pressure to the regulator is not

to exceed 1/2 PSIG. It is shipped set for 5" water column manifold pressure for use with natural gas.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the
hotplate.

CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE

The gas inlet of the hotplate is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until
the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.

PROPANE GAS - CONVERSION

This hotplate is equipped with xed orice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with natural
gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orice hoods, located on the manifold, as follows:

1. Remove grates and burners.

2. Remove the burner orice hoods and install the orice hoods supplied.

3. Replace the burners and grates. Be sure venturi opening is positioned on valve orice.

4. Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold

can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from

the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on
the plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water column. Attach the conversion label,
supplied with the unit, close to the nameplate on the top side of the front panel. Pilot ame may

need to be adjusted for LP gas.

CAUTION

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Check entire piping system for leaks. Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the
purpose, shall be used in locating gas leakage.

Matches, candle ame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for locating gas

leaks.

PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The hotplate is equipped with factory pre-set standing pilots and should be lit immediately after the gas
is turned on. Pilot lights may need an adjustment based on local gas supplies. See below for pilot light
adjustments.

If the operator smells gas or the pilot lights need to be relit:

1. Turn off main valve to unit.

2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.

3. The pilot lights on this hotplate can be adjusted by turning the adjustable screw
counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.

4. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.

5. Adjust pilot light ames as small as possible around pilot head, usually about 1/4" high,

but high enough to light burner immediately when burner valve is turned on high.

6. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.

7. To turn burners off, turn knobs clockwise to "OFF."

If interuption of the gas supply occurs, reliting of the pilot light will be needed.
