FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
This appliance must be installed and adjusted by a qualified technician in accordance with all federal, state, and local codes. Failure to install, adjust or maintain this equipment properly can result in Fire, Injury or Death. Read theinstallation/operating/maintenance instructions thoroughly before install or service of this appliance. FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WARNING FIRE HAZARD – Do not install or use without the eight-inch (8”) legs. Use of this equipment without legs can cause the appliance to overheat and cause fire.

Clearance and Positioning Around the Appliance: This equipment must be installed with a six-inch (6”) clearance from sides and rear from combustible material. Zero (0) clearance from non-combustible. For use on a non-combustible floor.

Air Supply and Ventilation: The area in front and around the equipment must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times in front of and at the sides of the appliance for servicing and proper ventilation.

Pressure Regulator: This commercial appliance comes with a convertible pressure regulator to insure proper and efficient operation. The pressure regulator provided is adaptable for both Natural and LPG gas. Regulator specifications: ¾” NPT inlet and outlet, preset for four-inches (4”) WC Natural Gas and may be converted by qualified personnel to be used for LPG at ten-inches (10”) WC.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure. The regulator can only withstand a maximum pressure of ½” PSI (13” WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down regulator before the appliance regulator provided will be required. The arrow on the bottom of the appliance regulator shows the gas flow direction and should point downstream to the equipment.

LIGHTING THE PILOT

The appliance is equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas is supplied to the equipment.

• Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
• Turn off all gas control knobs.
• Light all pilots manually with ignition source.
• The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole in the front panel at the pilot tube. When the flame ignites remove ignition source.
• Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.
  Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative coating burning off. Allow the equipment to “burn in” for at least 15 minutes before the first use.

PILOT FLAME REGULATION:

The pilot flame on the appliance has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot flame as small as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately with the burner valve is turned to the highest setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is through the opening in the front panel. (See “D” in the diagram below)

BURNER FLAME AIR ADJUSTMENT:

Remove the front panel (D), to gain access. Turn the burner knob (E) to the highest setting. You should see a blue flame that is not lifting or have yellow tipping. If this occurs, loosen the air shutter screw on the burner’s air shutter and turn air shutter to obtain correct flame. (This can only be obtained if the gas pressure is correct.

Features and Controls:

OPERATION

Before initial use, turn the gas control knob to the maximum setting and allow the appliance to “burn-in” for approximately fifteen (15) minutes. Seeing smoke coming from the cooking grate is normal during burn-in period. After about fifteen (15) minutes of burn-in the appliance is ready for use.
