It is essential that facilities be provided over the griddle
to carry off fumes and gases. However, the unit should
not be directly connected to a flue or stack.
LEVELING UNIT
This griddle is supplied with (4) feet which must be
screwed into the legs attached to the body. Level unit
by adjusting the (4) feet which have an adjustment of
1-3/4" (43.75mm) for accurate and perfect lineup with
other units. CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL

REMOVE FEET.
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.
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.
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 (pipe dope)
shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of
the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to
the action of L.P. 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.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition
shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping
system for leaks.
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 supplied, behind the control panel as follows:
1. Remove the front panel by removing the screws
located on the front and the bottom.
2. Remove firewall shield and screws from the burner
bracket.
3. Remove the 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).

the propane hood(s) furnished.
5. Reinstall the burner(s).
NOTE: Steps 2, 3, and 4 apply to MA models only.
* TCHSA & TSPA 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. 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. 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" (25.4 cm) water
