Gas Piping:
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas suf
fi
cient 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 Lique
fi
ed Propane (LP) gases.
Manual Shut Off Valve:
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold, within four (4) feet, (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
fl
ame, 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
ef
fi
cient exhaust hood with
fl
ame proof
fi
lters. A vertical distance of not less than four (4) feet shall be provided between the
top of the appliance and
fi
lters or any other combustible material.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTROLS
When turning on for the
fi
rst time please be advised that it might take a little longer to ignite due to the air existing in the pipe.
If the ignition does not light, turn off the ignition switch and wait 3 minutes to try again.
Lighting the Pilot:
The manifold units are equipped with a standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas is
supplied to the appliance.
Before attempting to light pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance and wait
fi
ve (5) minutes to clear the gas.
1. Turn off all gas control knobs
2. Turn on main gas valve and light all pilots.
3. The pilot 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
fl
ame is established remove ignition source.
4. To shut down the appliance, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance.
NOTE: Smoke appearing on initial use of the appliance is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative coating burning off.
This will occur for at least
fi
fteen (15) minutes during the
fi
rst use or seasoning process.
Pilot Flame Regulation:
The pilot
fl
ame on the appliance has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the
pilot
fl
ames as small as possible, but high enough to light the burner immediately when burner valve is turned to the “HIGH”
setting. Access to the pilot
fl
ame adjustment screw is obtained by removing the front panel.
Burner Adjustment:
Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to “HIGH” position. Slowly decrease mixing
ring aperture to give a soft blue
fl
ame having luminous tips, then slowly increase opening to a point where the yellow tips
disappear and a hard blue
fl
ame is obtained.
COMMISSIONING:
Commission of your new Griddle is of the utmost importance. Commissioning is the thorough and methodi-
cal testing of the equipment, subsystems, and systems to ensure that the
fi
nal product functions properly and safely at the work
site. By identifying any potential problems (i.e.: equipment location, ventilation, local
fi
re/electrical codes, installation, operator
training, and certi
fi
cation) prior to equipment being placed into service, costly outages and potential damages may be avoided.
Operating the Griddle – Pilot Lighting Instructions for THERMOSTAT CONTROLLED GRIDDLES
Before operating Griddle, it should be checked to see that is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the Griddle. Be sure the catch
tray had been properly placed.
The pilot light on the appliance has been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
