INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF

STOCKPOT RANGE

GENERAL

Stockpot ranges are designed for commercial use only and feature fast, efficient gas
heat. Each burner is controlled by an adjustable gas valve. Heavy-duty, cast iron top
grate(s) are easily removed for cleaning when cool. A grease drawer is provided to collect
fat run-off; it opens to the front for inspection or drain-off.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the stockpot is
found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days
of delivery. Remove all packing material and protective plastic from the surfaces of the
unit.

Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) and the clearance
dimensions agree with the specifications on the rating plate which is located at the back
of the stockpot.

The burner shipping bracket(s) labeled “Please remove this part before use”

must be removed before the stockpot range is used.

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.

LEG INSTALLATION

The stockpot range is shipped without the legs attached. The

stockpot range must not be operated without the legs attached to the unit.

1. Remove cast iron grate and burners from chassis.

2. Turn chassis upside down and locate threaded leg weldments (Fig. 1).

3. Screw legs into threaded leg weldments until tight (Fig. 2). Use a pipe or strap wrench

with a towel (so as not to scratch leg) if needed to firmly tighten legs.

4. Continue process until all legs are installed. Single stockpots will have four legs

and double stockpots will have six legs.

5. Return stockpot to upright position; reinstall burners and grates.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION

Gas regulator pressure is preset at 5” Water Column (W.C.) for natural 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).

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W.C. for natural
gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the hotplate be connected to
supply pressure 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.

GAS CONNECTION

The data plate on the rear of the stockpot indicates the type of gas your unit is equipped
to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.

Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the

action of propane gases.

Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or any foreign matter before connecting
the line to the unit.

Codes require that a gas shut-off valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the stockpot.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ¾” iron pipe.

A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside of the broiler when making
the gas supply connection. Standard orifices are set for 5"WC (Water Column) for
Natural Gas — 10"WC (Water Column) for Propane. Use the

1

/8” pipe tap on the burner
manifold for checking pressure. Make sure the gas piping is clean and free of
obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
