Gas Stock Pot Range Owner’s Manual Ver 20180822 FOR WARRANTY SERVICE CALL 866-909-2855
The installation of this appliance must conform with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSAB149.1, as applicable.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve 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(3.5kPa).
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 less than 1/2
psi(3.5kPa).
Clearance and positioning around the appliance:
this
appliance must be installed adjacent to not-combustible
surfaces only with a minimum spacing of 6'' from all sides.
This appliance must be a minimum distance of 6'' from
another appliance. The appliance must have the supplied
4'' legs installed and be placed on a non-combustible
surface.
Air supply and ventilation:
The area in front and around
the appliances 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:
All commercial cooking equipment
must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service
line for safe and efficient operation. The regulator provided
for this appliance is adaptable for both Natural gas and LP
gas. A conversion kit with separate instructions is included
explaining this procedure in detail.
Regulator information:3/4''NPT inlet and outlet; factory
adjusted for 4'' WC Natural Gas standard and may be
converted by qualified personnel to be used for Propane at
10''WC.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line
pressure. The regulator can only withstand a maximum
pressure of 1/2 PSI (14''WC). If the line pressure is beyond
this limit, a step down regulator before the regulator
provided will be required. The arrow forged into the bottom
of the regulator body shows gas flow direction, and should
point downstream to the appliance.
Gas Conversion:
Conversion from Natural Gas to Liquid
Propane( LP) or vice versa may only be performed by the
factory or its authorized service agent. In the case of
troubleshooting, ensure that the correct orifice sizes of the
spuds have been provided.
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
(pipe dope) shall be used sparingly and only on the
male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds must
be resistant to the action of LP gases.
CAUTION
Any loose dirt or metal particles, which are 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 any
internal contaminates. It is recommended that a "drip
leg" be installed in-line before the regulator.
Manual shut off valve:
A manual shut off valve
should be installed upstream from the manifold, within
4ft. (1.2m) of the appliance and in a position where it
can be reached in the event of an emergency.
Checking for gas leaks
: Using a gas leak detector or a
soapy water solution is recommended for locating gas
leaks. Matches, candle flame or other sources of
ignition shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire
piping system for leaks.
Exhaust canopy:
Cooking appliances inherently create
a good deal of heat and smoke and should be installed
under an efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters.
A vertical distance of not less than 4 ft. (1.2m) shall be
provided between the top of the appliance and filters or
any other combustible material.
WARNING
FIRE DEATH HAZARD
If you smell gas follow the instructions provided by
the gas supplier.
Do not touch any electrical switch: do not try to light
the burner; do not use a telephone within close
proximity.
Lighting the pilot:
The manifold units are equipped
with standing pilots, and each should be lit immediately
after the gas is supplied to the appliance.
1. Before attempting to light pilots, turn off the main gas
valve to the appliance and wait 5 minutes to clear the
gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs (E). See Figure 1.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilots burner must be lit at the end of the tube.
Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole (D) in
the front panel at the pilot tube. When the flame is
established remove ignition source.
5. To shut down the appliance turn off main gas valve to
the appliance.
NOTE:
Smoke appearing on initial use of
the appliance is normal. This is as a result of the rust
preventative coating burning off. Allow the appliance to
burn in for at least 15 minutes before the first use.
