NOTICE
Installation must comply with
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
,
Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1
, or the
Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2
, as applicable.
These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection
Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having
jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should
comply with all local codes.
Step 1: Unpack
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either
apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must
then be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse
the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or
loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an
inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.
Step 2: Covert Unit to Use Propane Gas (if necessary)
Each unit is shipped equipped with fixed orifice hoods appropriate for use with natural gas. If propane gas
will be used, convert the unit for use with propane gas by the following procedure:
1. Remove the front panel by removing the knobs and screws on the front.
2. For charbroiler and open top models, remove the grates and burners to access the orifices from above.
For griddle models, slide the burner toward the rear of the unit to access the orifices (see diagram on
page 22), OR remove the griddle plate to access the orifices by removing two nuts at the rear of the unit.
3. Remove the natural gas orifices and install the furnished propane orifices.
4. Re-install the burners.
5. Re-install the front panel.
6. Remove the hex-threaded plug from the pressure regulator. Inside is a removable insert. Pull the insert
out, turn it around, and put it back in so that the end with the letters “LP” is now facing you. Re-attach
the hex-threaded plug. The pressure regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water column.
7. Check the pressure.
