5. All pipe joints must be checked for leaks before lighting. Leak checks
should be performed with a soap and water solution.
NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
6. This appliance must be installed so that there is adequate and proper
clearance for operation and servicing.
DANGER:
FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
HAZARD

IMPORTANT:
All pipe joints must be checked
for leaks before lighting. Leak
checks should be performed
with a soap and water solution.
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
This appliance is supplied
with a gas pressure regulator.
Failure to properly install the
supplied regulator will result
in an extremely hazardous
condition.
Flow arrow stamped on body
of regulator must point toward
the griddle.
Vent hole must point UP.
IMPORTANT:
Verify fuel gas type. If the
available fuel does not match
the nameplate specication,
exchange the appliance for the
correct type.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance and its
individual manual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from
supply system piping during
any pressure testing of that
system at pressures in excess
of 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).
Also, 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 at test
pressures equal to or less than
1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLING THE GAS GRIDDLE
Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must
match the nameplate specications. Connecting the hotplate to the
wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety and/or
performance of the appliance.
BE SURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
The appliance must be placed in its nal operational position and
leveled front-to-back and side-to-side, with a spirit level, prior to
beginning the gas piping installation. Re-check the level of the unit
at the conclusion of the gas piping installation.
Each gas appliance is supplied with a separate gas pressure
regulator, which must be installed on the manifold pipe protruding from
the rear of the griddle. Ensure that the regulator is installed such
that the ow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward
the griddle. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result
in an extremely hazardous condition.
A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a tee, 4” nipple pointing down,
and cap must be installed upstream of the gas pressure regulator.
A manual gas shut-off valve may be required by local codes and
is, in any case, strongly recommended. The shut-off valve must
be installed between the gas supply piping and the gas pressure
regulator.
M163 2M-306981 Owners Manual for HDCB-Series Gas Char-Broilers
Fig. 2 Gas Supply Piping
It is the responsibility of the gas piping installer to identify the code
requirement for a shut-off valve.
Shut-off valves, moisture trap and all associated piping must be
supplied by the gas piping installer.

Using a small, at-blade screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to
decrease the ame size, or counter-clockwise to increase the ame
size.
Adjust the pilot ame to 1/4” high. Test for operation: all sections
of the burner must light without undue delay. Drafty conditions may
require a higher ame to allow the pilot to remain lit.
Replace the grates, front panel and all knobs before returning the
unit to service.
ADJUST BURNER FLAME:
Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel.
Remove grates and radiants.
Turn an individual burner on.
Loosen the locking screw on the shutter.
Turn the shutter to admit more or less air as required. Adjust the
air shutter until the ame is mostly blue in color.
Tighten the locking screw when nished. Replace tall grates and
radiants, the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to

IMPORTANT:
Adjustments must be performed
by a qualied technician only.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance is shipped from
the factory equipped for natural
gas and adjusted for sea level
to 2000 feet elevation. For

OPERATION
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
¤ DO NOT try to light any
appliance.
¤ DO NOT touch any
electrical switch
¤ DO NOT use any
telephone in your building.
In the event a gas odor is
detected, shut down the unit at
the main gas shutoff valve and
contact your local gas supplier
from a neighboring location.
Follow the instructions
received from the gas supplier
immediately and exactly.
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the charbroiler operation on the
specication sheet.
Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water. Call a
qualied technician to examine the appliance and to service or replace
any component which has been submerged. Burners which have
been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried before use.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use
tools to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, DO
NOT attempt to force or repair it. Contact your Authorized Wells
Service Agency for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of re and/or explosion.
Make sure burners, pilot burner and drip tray are properly installed
before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT FLAME
Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell near oor level because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the oor.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The pilot light must be lighted by hand:
Remove grates. Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position.
Wait 5 minutes.
The pilot is located adjacent to the burner, and is accessible from
the top of the unit.
Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had time
for the air to be purged from the lines. Attempt to light the pilot every
15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.
Light the pilot with a long match or replace lighter.
DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.
Reinstall grates

SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
Turn all pilots OFF.
Turn the main gas supply OFF.
