This appliance must be connected with a gas supply line as large or larger ID (net inside diameter) than
the gas pipe inlet provided on the rear of the appliance. Connect gas supply to the range(s). Make sure
the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range(s).
An external gas pressure regulator must be installed on the unit at the time of installation. The
regulator must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency. These appliances are rated at the
following pressure: Natural Gas - 6" W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa); Propane Gas - 10" W.C.
(2.49 kPa).
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.
Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
A. Check all joints prior to the gas valve (solenoid) before lighting unit.
B. Check all joints beyond gas valve (solenoid) after unit is lit.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

OPERATION
The range and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or
servicing the range.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Griddle Tops: Before using your griddle, the protective coating that was applied at the factory must
be completely removed with a commercial degreaser. After a thorough cleaning, apply a
high temperature, salt-free frying oil and you are ready to use the griddle.
The griddle requires no “breaking-in” or “seasoning”.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Standard Oven: If you have a standard oven, use your normal recipe times and temperatures.
Convection Oven: The convection oven does everything a regular oven can do, but with less energy
consumption. The oven pre-heats faster, and baking time, temperature settings, and
shrinkage are reduced.
In general, reduce temperature 25°F (10°C) from conventional recipes.
Check product at half the time of the regular recipe.
Level pans bake more evenly; warped pans will give uneven baking results.
