Installation
cooker front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed. Cooker must be installed in an area with an
adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of
the cooker to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
The type of gas for which the cooker is equipped is marked on the data plate attached to the inside of the
cooker door. Connect a cooker marked “NAT” only to natural gas, those marked “PRO” only to propane gas.
When installing this equipment in the UNITED STATES, the installation must conform to the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In CANADA, installation must conform to the latest edition of Standard
CAN-/ GCA-B149.1 or .2, “Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances & Equipment”. In addition to the
applicable national code or standard, installation must also be in accordance with any local codes for the area
in which the equipment is installed. Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national
and local codes. In the UNITED STATES, the applicable code is ANSI Z21.69 with Addenda, “Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances”. Quick-Disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with
national and local codes. In the UNITED STATES, the code is ANSI Z21.41, “Standard for Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel”.
PRE-CONNECTION PREPARATIONS
After the cooker has been positioned under the cook station exhaust hood, ensure the following has been
accomplished:
1.
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of cookers without depending upon the gas line
connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the
cooker is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with the flexible hose in the
accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
2.
These cookers must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on Noodle cookers equipped with casters
or anchor straps on cookers equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with the casters/legs to
properly install the chains or straps.
3.
Level cooker equipped with legs by extending the adjustable portion of the leg out approximately 1”, and
then further adjust the legs, ensuring the cooker is level and at the proper height under the exhaust hood.
For cookers equipped with casters, the floor where the cooker is to be installed must be level.
4.
Refer to the data plate on the inside of the cooker door to verify that the cooker is configured for the proper
type of gas before connecting the noodle cooker quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply line.
CONNECT TO THE GAS LINE
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the
burner manifold will be low. This may cause pilot outage, slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming
gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. All single cookers using natural gas require
a ¾”or 1/2” connection. For cookers using LP gas, one pipe size smaller may be used. If in doubt about the
correct pipe size, consult the local gas company. Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be
thoroughly blown out to remove any foreign particles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and controls,
they will cause improper and sometimes dangerous operation.
