SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure gas supply and gas type shown on unit data plate 
match. (Data plate is located on the right side panel of 
unit).

Unit installation must conform to the National Fuel 
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the National 
Gas Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or the Propane 
Installation Code, CSA B149.2 as applicable and in 
accordance with local codes.

Screw legs into the permanently fastened nuts on the 
four corners of the unit and tighten by hand. Level the 
unit by turning the adjustment screw at the bottom 
of each leg. Do not slide unit with legs mounted, lift if 
necessary to move unit.

Pipe gas supply to unit. The gas supply (service) line 
must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the 
appliance.

Pipe threading compound must be resistant to the action 
of liquefied petroleum gases.

These units are suitable for installation on non-
combustible surfaces.

Gas Pressure

The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve (to be 
supplied by user) must be disconnected from the gas 
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that 
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). 

NOTE:

 Gas shutoff valve is supplied on CE models.

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 system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 
psi (3.45 kPa).

Congratulations on your purchase of Bakers Pride

®

commercial cooking equipment. Bakers Pride takes 
honor in designing the highest quality products. 

When used as intended and with proper care and 
maintenance, you will experience years of reliable 
operation from this equipment. To ensure best results, it 
is important that you read and follow the instructions in 
this manual carefully.

The countertop hot plate, models BPHHP-212i, BPHHP-
424i, BPHHP-636i, BPHHP-848i, BPHHPS- 212i, 
BPHHPS-424i, BPHHPS-636i and BPHHPS-848i 
provide countertop heating and cooking capabilities. 
These units incorporate 2, 4, 6 or 8 burners for fast, 
even cooking and heating. Refer to data plate for BTU/
hr Rate.

Unit must have adequate clearances for servicing. 
(Sides = 0”, Rear = 0”, Floor = 4”)

Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure 
regulator on the incoming service line for safe and 
efficient operation, since service pressures may 
fluctuate on local demand. A pressure regulator is 
packed inside every gas appliance.

Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the 
appliance warranty.

Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming 
line pressure, as these regulators can only withstand 
a maximum pressure of 1/2’’ psi (14” WC). If the line 
pressure is beyond this limit, a step down regulator will 
be required.

DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. 
Check all gas piping for leaks with a soap and 
water solution before operating unit.
