DRAGON SERIES CHINESE RANGES
Your Wok Cart has been carefully engineered and constructed with the best possible workmanship and
materials to provide many years of satisfactory service. Proper installation is vital if appearance and
performance is to be achieved.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
WOK CART INSTALLATION AREA MUST BE FREE AND CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLES
1. Position crate in approximate location that the unit will occupy.
2. Carefully lift Wok Cart into a desired position to avoid damage to casters. Clearances from combustible
construction are 6" at rear and sides. Remove burner tie wires and other packing materials. Examine
the gas burner and center as required if it has shifted in transit. Turn all gas valve lever handle to “OFF”
(horizontal) position.
3. Clearances for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances. This range is for
installation only on noncombustible floors.
INSTALLATION:
1. The gas supply line must be of adequate size to insure maximum efficiency of the unit.
2. The installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:
a. The appliance 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 psi (3.45 kPa).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal or less than
1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
3. Local regulations governing gas appliance installations must be complied with.
4. Equipment should be under hood with adequate ventilation or used outdoors. Indoor use of a propane
gas tank is not permitted by most codes.
5. Minimum spacing of 6" to combustible construction is required along back and side walls. Clearances
for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances. For use only on noncombustible floors.
6. Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant fibers that will ignite and burn must not be exposed

Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a Quick Disconnect device that complies with the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect Devices for Use
with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9, and adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the
appliance movement.

type gas shutoff should be supplied by others. Water supply line on back of unit and sprinkler should
be connected with a shutoff valve in readily accessible location.
2. Check that the gas valve on the unit is OFF (lever handle vertical) before turning ON main gas line. Check
for leaks using soapy water or other suitable leak detector. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR TESTING.

Always follow these lighting and shutdown instructions when operating your unit. A five minute
complete shutoff period is required before lighting or relighting pilot. See diagram below.
