INSTALLATION
Electrical Connection
The 120V griddles are supplied with a cord and plug, 240V units are not. The 120V receptacle is not
provided with the griddle.
Follow the receptacle manufacturer’s instructions when connecting the receptacle to the power supply.
Gas Connection
This griddle is manufactured for use with the type of gas indicted on the nameplate.
Contact the factory if your type of gas does not match the nameplate data.
All gas connectors must be in accordance with local codes and comply with the National Fuel Federal
Gas Codes ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.
This appliance should be installed with a separate gas valve in the gas line ahead of the unit. Use a
3/4 inch or larger gas supply line.
Remove
the 5/16 inch nuts securing the rear of burners. These nuts are for securing the main burners
during transportation only. The rear burner shield must be removed to gain access to the nuts.
A pressure regulator for the type of gas specified is supplied with each appliance.
This regulator must be installed in the gas supply line.
(Note the direction of the gas flow arrow.)
The pressure in the manifold of the appliance should be tested with a manometer and the regulator
adjusted for proper pressure with the appliance operating at full fire. A 1/8 inch NPT tap is provided in
the manifold for connecting a manometer.
Correct manifold pressures are:
5 inches water column for natural gas
10 inches water column for propane
When replacing the plug in the manifold, a pipe joint compound or sealant should be used that is
resistant to the action of liquid petroleum gas.
Initial adjustments are the responsibility of the installer and are not chargeable to Star Manufacturing
International.
After the griddle is in its final position, adjust the legs to create 1/8 inch slant from back to front.
This will allow the grease to run into the grease gutter and provide the proper combustion air for the
burners.
DANGER: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED AT THE TERMINAL
PROVIDED. FAILURE TO GROUND THE APPLIANCE COULD
RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH.
