OperatOr’s Manual
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, as applicable.
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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance 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
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Clearance and positioning around the appliance:This appliance
must be installed adjacent to non-combustible surfaces only with a minimum
spacing of 6” from all sides. This appliance must be a minimum distance of
6” from another appliance. The appliance must have the supplied 4” legs
installed and be placed on a non-combustible surface.
Air supply and ventilation: The area in front and around the appliances
must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the ow 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 efcient
operation. The regulator provided for this appliance is adaptable for both
Natural gas and LP gas. A conversion kit with separate instructions is
included explaining this procedure in detail.
Regulator information: ¾” NPT inlet and outlet; factory adjusted for 5” WC
Natural Gas standard and may be converted by qualied personnel to be
used for Propane at 10” WC.
Gas piping : Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide
a supply of gas sufcient 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 must be
resistant to the action of LP gases.
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 any internal
contaminates. It is recommended that a “drip leg” be installed in-line
before the regulator.
Manual shut off valve: A manual shut off valve should be installed
upstream from the manifold, within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the appliance and in a
position where it can be reached in the event of an emergency.
Checking for gas leaks: Using a gas leak detector or a soapy water
solution is recommended for locating gas leaks. Matches, candle ame or
other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping
system for leaks.
Exhaust canopy: Cooking appliances inherently create a good deal of heat
and smoke and should be installed under an efcient exhaust hood with ame
proof lters. A vertical distance of not less than 4 ft. (1.2m) shall be provided
between the top of the appliance and lters or any other combustible material.
FIRE DEATH HAZARD
If you smell gas follow the instructions provided by the gas
supplier.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not try to light the
burner; do not use a telephone within close proximity.

Connection
diagram
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure. 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 before the
regulator provided will be required. The arrow forged into the bottom of the
regulator body shows gas ow direction, and should point downstream to the
appliance.
Gas conversion: Conversion from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane (LP)or
vice versa may only be performed by a qualied technician or service agent.
In the case of troubleshooting, ensure that the correct orice sizes of the
spuds have been provided.
Natural Gas Orice#46
LP Gas Orice#40
NOTE: The orice size is marked on the spud.
Gas connection:The appliance comes tted with a ¾” N.P.T male adapter
for connection to the pressure regulator.
Maintenace: A qualied service company should check the unit for safe and
efcient operation on an annual basis. Contact the factory representative or
local service company to perform maintenance and repairs.
each should be lit immediately after the gas is supplied to the appliance.
1. Before attempting to light pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance
and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs (E). See Figure 1.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source
through the pilot light hole (D) in the front panel at the pilot tube. When the
ame is established remove ignition source.
5. To shut down the appliance turn off the main gas valve to the appliance.
NOTE:Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is as a
result of the rust preventative coating burning off. Allow the appliance to ‘burn
in’ for at least 15 minutes before the rst use.
Pilot ame regulation: The pilot ame on the appliance has been factory
adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot ames as small as
possible, but high enough to light the burner immediately when burner valve
is turned to the ‘High’ setting. Access to the pilot ame adjustment screw is
obtained by removing the front panel.
Burner adjustment: Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner
valve knob to ‘High’ position. Slowly decrease mixing ring aperture to give a
soft blue ame having luminous tips, then slowly increase opening to a point
where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue ame is obtained.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
If you smell gas follow the instructions provided by the
gas supplier. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not
try to light the burner; do not use a telephone within close
proximity.
Before initial use, turn the gas control knob to the maximum setting,
and allow equipment to burn-in for 15 minutes. You will notice smoke
appearing due to the cooking surface burning-in. This is normal. After 15
minute burn in period the equipment is ready for use.
To adjust the leveling feet:
1. Hold the leg (A) and rotate the adjustable feet (B) so the equipment is
level. See Figure 1.
2. It is recommended that the grill grates (F) be set at the full tilt position
A
to start. This will allow grease to run down the grill grate(s) (F) and into
the drip tray (C) and will reduce are-ups.
3. Check the drip tray (C) frequently and add water as necessary.
Water vapor rising from the drip tray (C) and through the combustion
chamber will help to reduces are-ups.
4. To ignite the burners, depress and turn the gas control knob (E) to
‘High’ position.
5. Allow the appliance to pre-heat before attempting to use.
6. Adjust the valve set-point to obtain the desired level of heat.
WARNING
FIRE, INJURY or BURN HAZARD
Never attempt to move grates while cooking. Flare-ups
can occur unexpectedly and cause injury. Turn unit off and
allow the grill grate(s) (F) to cool.
7. To adjust the grill grate(s) (F), raise or lower the back of the grates.
Turn unit off and allow the grill grate(s) (F) to cool. Use pot holders or
gloves to reposition.
