Disconnect Devices for use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 • CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate
means must be provided to limit movement of the hotplate without depending on the
connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit hotplate
movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the hotplate. If disconnection of
the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect the
restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and return the hotplate to its installation
position.
If the Hotplate is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended
that it be re-leveled (see LEVELING).
LEVELING
If the hotplate is equipped with legs or is mounted on the optional stand equipped with
legs, turn the feet at the bottom of the legs in or out to level the hotplate in the final
installed location. If the hotplate is mounted on the optional stand equipped with casters,
position the hotplate on a level floor.
VENTILATION HOOD
The hotplate should be installed under a suitable ventilation hood. For safe operation and
proper ventilation, keep the space between the hotplate and vent hood free from any
obstructions.
