• Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
• Locate the vertical broiler under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must
extend 6" (15 cm) beyond vertical broiler on both sides.
• Clearance above the vertical broiler should be adequate for combustion byproducts to be removed
efficiently.
• An 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood
venting system.
• Never make flue connections directly to the vertical broiler.
• Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the
room.
• Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the vertical broiler’s flue opening. Down
draft will not allow the vertical broiler to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause
permanent damage. Damage caused by down draft will not be covered under equipment warranty.
• Never allow anything to obstruct the flue or ventilation exiting from the vertical broiler flue.
• DO NOT put anything on top of flue area.
WARNING
• All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
• The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the vertical broiler. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be
installed in the gas line ahead of the vertical broiler. The serial plate (located back side of the vertical broiler)
indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn (natural gas or propane). The vertical broiler should be
connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
• The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½" (12.7 mm) iron pipe. We recommend using
a 3/4" flex gas supply hose, like Regency 48" Mobile Gas Connector Hose Kit with Quick Disconnect
(#600GKM3448), which may require a 3/4" (19mm) iron pipe gas supply line.
• Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery requires one
or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.
WARNING
• Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution.
• DO NOT use an open flame.
• After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
Gas Pressure (All Models)
• The gas pressure should be set at 4" W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 10" W.C. (2.75 kPa)
for propane gas.
• If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be installed.
• If the vertical broiler is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified
when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized Avantco Service Representative. Failure to install with
proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
