INSTALLATIONS

UNPACKING & INSPECTION

Carefully remove the appliance from the carton. Remove all protective plastic film, packing materials and accessories from the appliance before connecting or performing any installation procedure. Carefully read all instructions in this manual and the Installation Instruction Sheet packed with the appliance before starting any installation.

Read and understand all labels and diagrams attached to the appliance.

Carefully account for all components and accessories before discarding packing materials. Store all accessories in a convenient place for later use.

SETUP

This appliance is designed for use in non-combustible locations only. Set up the hotplate only on a firm, level, non-combustible surface.

Verify local codes for requirements. Concrete, tile, terrazzo or metal surfaces are recommended. Metal or tile over combustible material may not meet code for non-combustible surfaces.

Clearances to non-combustible surfaces must be maintained. Maintain 0” from side and rear to non-combustible walls, and 4” from non-combustible counter as established by provided 4” legs. Maintain adequate clearances for cleaning and proper operation. The hotplate must be installed in an area with sufficient make-up air for proper combustion and must be installed in such a way that the flow of combustion and ventilation will not be obstructed.

For servicing, manufacturer recommends 6” clearance from rear of the appliance to wall.

Install adjustable legs, one on each corner of the appliance, in the holes provided. Verify that the unit sits firmly ON ALL FOUR LEGS. With the adjustable legs, adjust as required to level the appliance. All four legs must be adjusted to firmly contact the floor in order to prevent tipping. When used with an exhaust fan, special precautions must be observed to avoid interference with the operation of the hotplate, such as drafts and air starvation.

GAS APPLIANCE CODE COMPLIANCE

The installation of gas piping from the outlet side of the gas meter or service regulator to the griddle must be performed by a technician qualified and certified or licensed to install gas-fired equipment.

A licensed and qualified technician must perform the initial start-up and adjustment of this appliance.

The installation of this gas-fired appliance must conform to local codes.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THIS GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION CONFORMS TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES.

The venting of this appliance must not be obstructed, nor may such venting interfere with the flow of combustion air required for proper operation of the gas burners.

Additionally:

1. The gas supply line used to connect the hotplate to the gas supply system must be black iron pipe, or other material as approved by local ordinance for gas piping.
2. Gas supply piping must be inside 3/4” diameter or greater.
3. Use pipe sealant made specifically for gas piping on all pipe joints. Apply sealant sparingly to the male threads only.  Sealant must be intended for LP gas.
4. Verify that all supply piping is clean and free of obstructions, dirt, chips and pipe sealant compound prior to installation.
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.

INSTALLING THE HOTPLATE

Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must match the nameplate specifications. Connecting the hotplate to the wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety and/or performance of the appliance.

The hotplate must be placed in its final operational position and leveled front-to-back and side-to-side, with a 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 hotplate is supplied with a separate gas pressure regulator, which must be installed on the manifold pipe protruding from the rear of the hotplate. Ensure that the regulator is installed such that the flow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward the hotplate. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.

A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a “T”, 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.

It is the responsibility of the gas piping installer to identify the code requirement for a shut-off valve.

Shut-off valves, a moisture trap and all associated piping must be supplied by the gas piping installer.

SET GAS PRESSURE:

Set the suitable gas pressure regulator.

SET PILOT FLAME:

The pilot adjustments are located between the control valves for each set of burners. The right valve controls the front pilot; the left valve controls the rear pilot.

Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the flame size, or counter-clockwise to increase the flame size.

Adjust the pilot flame to 1/4” high. Test for operation: inside and outside sections of the burner must light without undue delay. Drafty conditions may require a higher flame to allow the pilot to remain lit.

ADJUST BURNER FLAME:

Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel. Turn an individual burner on. The right knob controls the front burner; the left knob controls the rear burner.
Loosen the locking screw on the shutter.

Turn the shutter to admit more or less air as required. Adjust the air shutter until the flame is mostly blue in color.

Tighten the locking screw when finished. Replace the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to service.

GAS CONVERSION:

• Conversion from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane (LP) or vice versa may only be performed by the factory or its authorized service agent. In case of troubleshooting, ensure the correct orifice sizes of the spuds have been provided.
• Natural Gas Orifice is # 37
• Liquid Propane Gas Orifice is #52
• Orifice size is marked on the spud

OPERATION

Carefully read the description of the hotplate operation on the specification sheet. Make sure burners, pilot burner and grate assembly are properly installed before attempting to operate.

Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water.

Call a qualified 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.

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 manufacturer for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.

LIGHTING THE PILOT LIGHT

Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.

The pilot light must be lit by hand:

Turn both control knobs to the full OFF position.

Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON, and the appliance has had time for the air to be purged from the lines.

Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter. Use of a cigarette lighter is NOT recommended.

SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn all burner knobs to OFF.

Turn all pilots OFF.

Turn the main gas supply OFF.
