GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to
provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas
input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected
to existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it
has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used
sparingly and only on the male threads of the pipe
joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action
of LP gases. To connect to gas supply, attach pipe
nipple provided with unit, attach pressure regulator to
nipple, and gas supply to regulator. WARNING: Any
loose dirt or metal particles which are allowed to
enter the gas lines on this appliance will damage the
valve and affect its operation. When installing this
appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from loose
dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each
griddle. It should be connected to the inlet pipe at the
rear of the unit. The gas supply line is then connected
to it. It is shipped set for 6" (15.24cm) water column
manifold pressure for use with natural gas.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE
A manual shut-off valve should be installed upstream
from the union and within 6 feet (1.829m) of this
appliance.
PROPANE GAS
This griddle is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is
shipped from the factory for use on natural gas. To
convert to propane gas, install the #55* burner orifice
hoods, located in the grease drawer, as follows:
1. Remove front panel by removing screws located
on the front and the bottom.
2. Remove firewall shield and screws from burner
bracket.
3. Remove burner(s) from orifice of hood(s). This is
accomplished by lifting up on the rear of the
burner(s) and sliding the burner(s) off of the hood(s).
4. Remove natural gas orifice hood(s) and install the
propane hood(s) furnished.
5. Reinstall burner(s).
Note: Steps 2, 3 and 4 apply to MZ models only
* TCHSZ & TSPZ Series (w/safety pilots) use a #41
drill orifice for natural gas and a #52 drill orifice for
propane gas.
6. Reinstall front panel.
7. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded, plug from
the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-
install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on
the plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4cm)
water column.
8. Set manifold pressure to 10" (25.4cm) water
column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the supply pipe can be
removed for attaching a pressure gauge.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the griddle is sealed at the factory to
prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until the
actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Soap and water solution or other material acceptable
for the purpose shall be used in locating gas leakage.
Matches, candle flame, or other sources of ignition
shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping
system for leaks.
