EXHAUST CANOPY
It is essential that facilities be provided over the
griddle to carry off fumes and gases. However, the
unit should not be directly connected to a flue or
stack.
LEVELING UNIT
This griddle is supplied with (4) feet which must be
screwed into the legs attached to the body. Level

perfect lineup with other units.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT
ATTACHING FEET - DO NOT REMOVE FEET.
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 shall be used sparingly and only on the
male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds
shall be resistant to the action of LP gases. To
connect to gas supply, attach pipe nipple provided
with unit, attach pressure regulator to nipple, and
gas supply to regulator. WARNING: 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 loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with
each griddle. It should be connected to the inlet
pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply line is
then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6"
(15.24cm) water column manifold pressure for use
with natural gas.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE
A manual shut-off valve should be installed upstream
from the union and within 6 feet (1.829m) of this
appliance.
PROPANE GAS
This griddle is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and
is shipped from the factory for use on natural gas.
To convert to propane gas, install the #55* burner
orifice hoods, located in the grease drawer, as
follows:
1. Remove front panel by removing screws
located on the front and the bottom.
2. Remove firewall shield and screws from
burner bracket.
3. Remove burner(s) from orifice of hood(s). This
is accomplished by lifting up on the rear of the
burner(s) and sliding the burner(s) off of the
hood(s).
4. Remove natural gas orifice hood(s) and install
the propane hood(s) furnished.
5. Reinstall burner(s).
Note: Steps 2, 3 and 4 apply to MB models only
* TCHSB & TSPB Series (w/safety pilots) use a #41
drill orifice for natural gas and a #52 drill orifice for
propane gas.
6. Reinstall front panel.
7. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded, plug from
the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and
re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible
on the plug. The regulator is now set for 10"
(25.4 cm) water column.
8. Set manifold pressure to 10" (25.4cm) water
column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the supply pipe can
be removed for attaching a pressure gauge.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the
factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this
seal until the actual connection is made to the gas
supply line.
