INSTALLATION  AND SAFETY GUIDELINES 

 

CLEARANCES 
 

 

The  unit  must  be kept clear  of all  combustibles. 

 

The  unit  must  be installed  with  the 4” legs  supplied  for  proper operation. 

 

Minimum  clearance  from  combustible  construction: 

Side               Back

Minimum  clearance  from  non-combustible: 

                                         Side                  Back 

 

Open top           0”                     0” 

 

Broiler   

 0”                     0” (For use in  noncombustible  locations  only) 

 

Griddle 

 0”                     6” 

 

LEVELING 
 

A carpenter’s  spirit  level  should  be placed  on the  cooking  surface  and the unit  leveled  side-to-side,  and front 
to back. If it  is  not level,  burner  combustion  may  be erratic  or the unit  may  not function  efficiently. 
 

AIR SUPPLY  AND VENTILATION 
 

The  area around  the  appliance  must  be kept clear  to avoid  any  obstructions  of  the flow  of  combustion  and 
ventilation  air  as well  as for ease of maintenance,  service,  and proper appliance  operation.  Keep clearance  for 
openings  into  the combustion  chamber  and adequate  air  supply.   Means must  be provided  for  any  commercial, 
heavy  duty-cooking  appliance  to exhaust  combustion  wastes  to the  outside  of the  building. 
 
Air  movement  should  be checked during  installation.   Strong  exhaust  fans  in  the hood or in  the  overall  air 
conditioning  system  can  produce a slight  draft  in  the room,  which  can interfere  with  pilot  or burner 
performance.   If  pilot  or burner  problems  persist,  make  up air  openings  or baffles  may  have  to be provided  in 
the  room. 
 
Filters  and drip  troughs  should  be part of any  industrial  hood, but  consult  local  codes before  constructing  and 
installing  any  hood.  The  duct system,  exhaust  hood, and filter  bank must  be cleaned  on a regular  basis  and 
kept free of  grease. 
 

ALTITUDE 
 

The  appliance  input  rating  (BTU/hr)  is  for elevations  up to 2000 feet.   For elevations  above 2000 feet,  the  rate 
should  be reduced 4% for each  1000 feet  above sea level.   The correct  orifices  are installed  at the  factory  if 
the  operating  altitude  is  known  at  the time  of sale.
