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.

Model Number of Burners BTU/hr Input Rating

VSP100, WSPR1 2 110,000
VSP200, WSPR2 4 220,000

VSP200F, WSPR2F 4 220,000

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.

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

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.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
The Stockpot Range must be installed in acc ordance with:

In the United States of America:

1. State and local codes.

2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). This shall incl ude but
not be limited to: NFPA #54 Section 10.3.5.2 for Venting. Copies may be obtained
from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards Committee Z223, @ 400
N. Capital St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 or the Secretary Standards Council, NFPA,
1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471

NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

All gas appliances vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust system equipped with

a damper or with a power means of exhaust shall comply with 248 CMR.

3. NFPA Standard # 96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, latest edition, availabl e
from the National Fire Protection Associa tion, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

In Canada:

1. Local codes.

2. CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation (latest edition)

3. CAN/CSA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the

Canadian Gas Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W
1R3

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 ad justments may be required bas ed 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. 2) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and
adjustment screw upright (Fig. 3).

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

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 Ra nge in the final installed loca tion.

VENTILATION HOOD

The stockpot should be inst alled 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 lower right side of the charbroiler indicates the type of gas your unit
is equipped to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be
resistant to the action of propane.

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
charbroiler. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ¾” iron pipe. 72-inch
units should be connected to the gas supply on both the left and right sides to provide
adequate gas flow.

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.

An adequate gas supply is necessary. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the
volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A maximum supply pressure of 7"
W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units
operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should not show any
appreciable drop.

When testing the gas supply piping system, if test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa),
the charbroiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system. When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the charbroiler must
be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the system.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE STOCKPOT RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN

OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE STOCKPOT RANGE.

CONTROLS

The burner is in two sections, controlled by two heavy duty infinite control valves. The
center “Star” section (Fig. 2) is on separate burner with an input of 55,000 BTU/hr. It is
controlled by the right burner valve knob. The outer circle of the burner (Fig. 2) is the
other separate 55,000 BTU/hr input burner, controll ed by the left burner valve knob.

These two separate burners provide heat flexibility. With one burner off and the second
burner set low, up to both burners full on, you can move from low simmer on up to
110,000 BTU/hr input.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn all burner valves to OFF position and wait 5 minutes.

2. Turn gas shutoff val ve ON.

3. Light standing pilot with a lit taper. Adjust pilot to ¼” high flame, if necessary, by

turning pilot valve adjusting screw (see Fig. 1) counterclockwise to increase or
clockwise to decrease flame.

4. Turn burner valve to ON position .

5. If pil ot does not light, turn main gas supply OFF and re peat steps 1 through 4.

TO COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN THE BURNERS AND PILOT LIGHTS

For complete shutdown: Turn th e main gas supply valve OFF.
