Keeping an ABC fire extinguisher on hand during any cooking operation
is highly recommended.
Gas Safety
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, maintenance, or use can
cause personal injury, death, and property damage.
Liquefied propane (LP) gas, also commonly called Propane, is a fuel gas which contains a flammable mixture
of hydrocarbon gases, most commonly propane, butane, and propylene. Always exercise great caution and
strictly follow all safety measures when using LP gas.
The installation must conform with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with one of the following,
as applicable:
•
National Fuel Gas Code
, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
•
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1
•
Propane Storage and Handling Code
, CSA B149.2
Natural Gas Supply Requirements
•
A licensed plumber must install the required NG plumbing to supply your burner unit
•
Check the burner unit’s rating plate (Figure 16) to ensure it specifies natural gas (NG) as the proper
gas supply type
•
Use the supplied NG regulator, and NG flex line to connect the burner unit to the NG supply
•
Use only pipe sealants that are specifically approved for use with NG
•
A proper gas shutoff valve must be installed in a readily accessible location in the vicinity of the
burner unit
•
To ensure safe and satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the
total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line
•
Do not use piping with less than 1/2” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter to connect this burner
unit to NG supply line
•
Do not use any tape, pipe dope, or threading compound on any flare threads; doing so may cause a
clog in the regulator and prevent your burner unit from safe and proper operation
•
Any pressure testing must be performed only by a qualified gas technician.
•
Before and during pressure testing, the burner unit and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system, and the burner unit must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by completely closing its individual manual shutoff valve
