IMPORTANT
Safe and satisfactory operation of your equipment depends to a great
extent on its proper installation. Installation must conform to local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Code, ANSI Z-223.1-
1980 (or latest edit ion).
U.S. Range manufactures the "Regal" Stock Pot (SP-1845) in one size only, roughly 18" square.
This is a single-grate unit, fired by a pair of nested ring burners, which produce 45,000 BTU/hr. All stock
Pots are shipped completely assembled, with the pressure regulator and adjustable legs packed on the
drip pan. The burners are tied to their hangers to prevent vibration damage. All units are adjusted, tested
and inspected at the factory prior to shipment.
After uncrating, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of
shipping damage. If such damage has occurred, do not refuse shipment, but
contact the shipper and file the appropriate freight claims.

General
1. Installation of the equipment should be made by a licensed plumber.
2. A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance in the gas
stream for safety and for ease of future service.
3. A gas pressure regulator must be installed at the appliance prior to connecting the equipment to the
gas supply line. Failure to install a regulator will void the equipment warranty.
Rating Plate
This is on the inside of the body side and is accessible after removing the burner
knobs and valve cover.
Information on this plate includes the model and serial numbers ... when
communicating with the factory about a unit or requesting special parts or information, this data is
2
essential for proper identification. Other information on this plate is the BTU/hr output of the burners,
outlet gas pressure in inches WC, and whether orificed for natural or propane gas.
Clearances
The appliance area must be kept free and clear of all combustibles. This unit is design-certified for
the following installations:
1. For installation on combustible-type flooring; and
2. Adjacent to combustible walls with the following minimum clearances:
a) Side walls - six inches
b) Back wall - six inches
Mechanical
There is no mechanical installation required beyond levelling. Place a carpenter's spirit level left -toright on the landing ledge and also front-to-back on the center finger of the top grate. Level to the high
corner with the screw adjustment built into the foot of each leg.
Air Supply & Ventilation
The area around the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruc tion to the flow of
combustion and ventilation air as well as for ease of maintenance and service.
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance to exhaust combustion
waste products to the outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an exhaust hood;
the minimum should be an exhaust fan mounted above the unit. Filters and drip troughs should be part
of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before constructing and installing a hood.
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce a slight
vacuum in the room and/or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere with pilot or burner
performance and be hard to diagnose. Air movement should be cheeked during installation; if pilot or
