LEVELING
A carpenter's spirit level should be placed on the flat ledge and the unit leveled both front-to-back and side-to-side. If the unit is not
level, combustion may become erratic, and the unit will not function properly.
If the kitchen floor is relatively smooth and level, the unit may be leveled by turning the "foot" section of the leg, since casters are not
adjustable. Identify the high corner and level the unit if the adjustment required exceeds the 1-1/4" limit use metal shims.
CHECK OPERATION
All American Range Corporation appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively matching them to
appropriate atmospheric conditions. We recommend that adjustments and calibrations are performed upon installation to assure
proper operation of the unit and avoid possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment. This work must be
performed only by qualified service personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or dealer and are not
covered by warranty.
Check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy water solution before lighting the oven.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS!
Putting an open flame beside a new gas connection is extremely dangerous and may result in serious injury
or death.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn pilot valves to OFF position by turning adjustment screws clockwise.
2. Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply line.
3. Check for gas leaks at the flexible coupling or gas connector fitting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
4. Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas fittings; active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
5. Turn pilot adjustment screw counter-clockwise, then light standing pilot and
adjust flame 1/4" high.
6. Turn ON gas valve to light main burners.
7. For complete shut down, shut-off gas valves and turn pilot adjustment screw
clockwise to shut off gas to the pilots.

Call your certified and licensed service technician.
Do not install this appliance next to a fryer. A splash of water into the hot oil
may cause a flash fire.
WARNING
!
•
Do not dry fire the oil tank. Operating the unit without a full tank is a major cause of tank damage. Dry firing is
typically done after cleaning when the end user wants to dry out the tank the "easy" way.
•
Do not drain the oil while it’s hot; wait till it cools before emptying. Rapid change in temperature causes stress
fractures and tears at the seams.
•
Do not use acidic cleaners; use only boil-out solution. Acid can cause erosion to metal and in due time can cause a leak
in the tank.
•
Solid shortening must be liquefied before filling the tank. The tank walls must have liquid in contact with them in order
to transfer heat and avoid overheating and stressing the metal to the point of a tear.
•
Do not rinse off a hot tank with cold water. Always allow it to cool first.
•
Do not use sharp tools to clean the fryer.
•
Keep your tank clean. Check for debris buildup at the bottom of the tank, and never allow too much build-up to occur.
