Gas piping shall be new, clean and of such size and so
installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient 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
(pipe dope) 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:

CLEARANCE

Minimum wall clearances for the sides and back of the
models contained in this manual shall be as follows:

EXHAUST CANOPY

It is essential that facilities be provided to carry off
fumes and gases.

Combustible Non-Combustible

Wall Wall

Hotplates 9" 0"
Stock Pot Range 14" 0"

PRESSURE REGULATOR

A convertible pressure regulator set at 6" water
column for use on natural gas is furnished. (For LP
models the regulator is set for 10" water column
pressure.) Attach the regulator to the supply pipe,
located at the back of the unit, make sure gas flow
arrow on regulator is pointing towards manifold. The
gas supply is then connected to the regulator. A 1/8"
tap is furnished on the manifold for checking pressure.
The manifold is accessible by removing the front panel.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream
from the unit and within six feet of the appliance, and
is not provided.

CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE

The gas inlet on this appliance 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.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Soap and water solution or other material acceptable
for the purpose, shall be used in locating gas leakage.
Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition
shall not be used for this purpose.

AIR SUPPLY

Provisions for adequate air supply must be furnished.

AIR INTAKES IN BOTTOM

Make certain the air intake openings in the bottom of
the appliance are not obstructed. They are essential
for proper combustion and operation of the appliance.

GAS INPUT OF OPEN TOP RANGES

For Natural Gas: All models except 601SPRD-22,000
BTU/HR for each burner. Model 601SPRD-55,000
BTU/HR for each burner. Regulator output pressure
set at 6" water column.

For Propane Gas: All models except 601SPRD-22,000
BTU/HR for each burner. Model 601SPRD-45,000
BTU/HR for each burner. Regulator output pressure
set at 10" water column.

Note: The appliance is equipped with natural gas
orifice hoods. A separate set of hoods will be provided
for use on propane gas. The propane hoods are
located on the front panel. Factory set LP models do
not include the natural gas hoods.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The appliance is equipped with standing pilots; each
pilot is located in front of the burner on Models
602HD, 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, remove the front panel,
which is attached to the frame with 4 sheet metal
screws. Turn the adjustment screws on the front
of the pilot valves. The pilots should be adjusted to
a nice, blue short flame (1/4" high) to have good
ignition to the burners.

4. If the pilot(s) is out turn off gas, wait 5 minutes and
repeat steps (1) through (3).

5. Install the front panel to the front of the frame.

ADJUSTING BURNERS

Remove front panel in order to gain access to the
primary air shutters. With control valve for the front
burner turned to full "ON" position, close the air
shutters to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips
and open to a point where the yellow tips disappear,
then tighten the locking screws. Repeat this procedure
with the rear burner.

ADJUSTING UNIT FOR USE ON PROPANE
GAS

Units are shipped with orifices 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
orifices 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 orifices, #46 for all models
except 601SPRD, #.125 for 601SPRD, and install
propane orifices, 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 orifices:
a. Remove grates and burners.
b. Remove orifices from the manual valves and

from fittings on extended gas pipes, replace
with the propane orifices.

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.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Contact the factory or one of its representatives or a
local service company for service or maintenance if
