INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the hotplate is found
to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
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 hotplate 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 hotplate. Position the hotplate in its final
location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to service the hotplate and to make
the required gas supply connection(s). Provide 24" clearance at the front for cleaning,
maintenance, service and proper operation.
Minimum clearances to combustible construction are 11" to the back and 11" to the sides.
Minimum clearances to non-combustible walls are 0" to the rear and 0" to the sides.
