INSTALLATION 

 

1.  Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation. DO NOT proceed 

with installation and operation if you have any questions or do not understand 
anything in this manual. Contact your local representative first.   

2.  Select a location for the charbroiler that has a level, solid, nonskid surface that is 

nonflammable and away from water hazards or sinks, and is in a well-lighted work area 
away from children and visitors.   

3.  Equipment must be installed under proper ventilation as required per local code.   
 

NOTICE:

 Local codes regarding installation and ventilation vary greatly by area. The 

National Fire Protection Association, Inc, states that local codes are “authority having 
jurisdiction” when it comes to requirements for installation of equipment. Therefore, 
installation should comply with all local codes.   

4.    This appliance is equipped for Natural gas, for conversion to LP gas please see 

another conversion kits instruction.

 

5  Screw legs into the permanently fastened nuts on the four corners of the unit and tighten 

by hand. Legs must be installed to adequately provide proper ventilation to the unit.   

6  Level unit by adjusting the four feet and tighten securely. The adjustable feet have an 

adjustment of one inch for lineup with other countertop lines. Do not slide unit with legs 
mounted, lift if necessary to move unit.   

7  The supplied gas pressure regulator is factory set at 4'' Natural gas W.C. or 10'' for L.P.   
8  THESE UNITS ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON NON-COMBUSTIBLE 

SURFACES ONLY.   
Noncombustible clearances: 0'' sides (0 mm) 6'' rear (152 mm) 4'' floor (102 mm)   

9  Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air, under the unit by the legs or 

behind the unit by the flue. Do not place objects between the bottom of the unit and the 
counter top.   

10  There must be adequate clearance for removal of the front panel. All major parts except 

the burners are removable thru the front if the gas line is disconnected.   

11  It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas volume and air supply to each burner. 

This must be done by an authorized service technician.   

12 

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

piping for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating 
unit.   

COMMISSIONING: 

 

Commissioning of your new charbroiler is of the utmost importance. Commissioning is the 
thorough  and  methodical  testing  of  the  equipment,  sub  systems,  and  systems  to  ensure 
that  the  final  product  functions  properly  and  safely  at  the  work  site.  By  identifying  any 
potential  problems  (i.e.:  equipment  location,  ventilation,  local  fire/electrical  codes, 
installation, operator training and certification) prior to equipment being placed into service, 
costly outages and 

potential damages may be avoided.   

 

SAFETY ALWAYS.
