WARNING
FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
Have this equipment installed and adjusted by a qualified technician in
accordance with all federal, state and local codes. Failure to install, adjust or
maintain this equipment properly can result in injury or death.
Unpacking and set up:
1. Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic from all
surfaces of the unit.
2. Clean any glue residue left over from the plastic or tape.
3. Place the unit in the desired position and level using the adjustable feet.
4. Prior to using equipment must be cleaned thoroughly. Oil has been used to
prevent rust during shipping. CLEAN ALL SURFACES; failure to do so could
cause oil to burn onto the surfaces.
Clearance and positioning around the unit: This unit must be installed adjacent to
non combustible surfaces only with a minimum spacing of 6” from all sides. The unit
must have 4” legs installed and be placed on a non-combustible surface.
Air supply and ventilation: The area in front and around the appliance must be kept
clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate
clearance must be maintained at all times in front of and at the sides of the appliance
for servicing and proper ventilation.
Pressure regulator: All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation. A regulator for this
appliance is provided.
Regulator information: ¾” NPT inlet and outlet; factory adjusted for 5”WC Natural
Gas standard and may be converted by qualified personnel to be used for Propane
at 10”WC.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as the regulator
can only withstand a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14” WC). If the line pressure is
beyond this limit, a step down regulator will be required. The arrow forged into the
bottom of the regulator body shows gas flow direction, and should point
downstream to the appliance.
Gas conversion: Conversion from Natural Gas to Propane or vice versa may only be
performed by the factory or its authorized service agent. In the case of
troubleshooting, ensure that the correct orifice sizes of the spuds have been
provided.
NATURAL GAS ORIFICE #40
LP GAS ORIFICE #52
