GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet
the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be
checked to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on
the male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases.
WARNING:
Any loose foreign material, debris, or metal particles allowed to enter the gas lines
on this appliance will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance,
all pipe and fittings must be free from all internal loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each charbroiler. It should be connected to the
inlet pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6" water
column manifold pressure for use with natural gas, andd 0" water column manifold pressure for use
with propane gas. Allow 6" clearance from back of unit to wall for servicing and installation.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the
charbroiler.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal
until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
CONVERT TO PROPANE GAS
If your charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas, and you wish to convert to propane gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orifice
hoods, included with the unit, as follows:
. Remove grill, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods supplied.
. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.
4. Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can
be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the
pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on the
plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water column. Attach the conversion label, supplied
with the unit, close to the nameplate.
CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS
If your charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with
propane gas, and you wish to convert to natural gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orifice
hoods, located in the grease drawer, as follows:
. Remove grill, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods (not supplied).
. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.
4. Set manifold pressure to (6) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be
removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the
pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "NAT" should now be visible on the
plug. The regulator is now set for 6" (15.24 cm) water column.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Check entire piping system for leaks. Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the
purpose shall be used in locating gas leakage.
Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose.
CAUTION
