LOCATION

The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. DO NOT install the stockpot adjacent to open burners or fryers.

Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases through and above the stockpot top grate. Position the stockpot in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to service the stockpot and to make the required gas supply connection(s). Provide 24" clearance at the front for cleaning, maintenance, service and proper operation.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION

Gas regulator pr es s u r e is preset at 5” W ater Colu m n (W.C.) f or na t ur a l gas, and 10” W.C.

for propane gas. Minor adjustments may be required based on site specific gas pressure. Install the regulator as close to the stockpot on the gas supply line as possible. Make

sure that the arrow on the underside of the regulator is oriented in the direction of gas flow to the stockpot (Fig. 3) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and adjustment screw upright (Fig. 4).

The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W .C. fo r natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no tim e should the hotplate be connected to suppl y p r e ssur e greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C.

LEVELING

The Stockpot Range is equipped with legs. Turn the feet at the bottom of the legs in or out to level the Stockpot Range in the final installed location.

VENTILATION HOOD

The stockpot should be installed under a suitable ventilation hood. For safe operation and proper ventilation, keep the space between the stockpot and vent hood free from any obstructions.
