Unpacking & Installation
INSTALLATION
1. Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation. DO NOT proceed with installation and
operation if you have any questions or do not understand everything in this manual. Contact your local
representative or Globe first.
2.
Select a location for the hot plate that has a level, solid, nonskid surface that is nonflammable and away
from water hazards or sinks, and is in a well-lighted work area away from children and visitors.
3. Equipment must be installed under proper ventilation as required per local code.
NOTICE:
Local codes regarding installation and ventilation vary greatly by area. The National Fire Protection
Association, Inc, states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are “authority having jurisdiction” when it
comes to requirements for installation of equipment. Therefore, installation should comply with all local codes.
4. Screw legs into the permanently fastened nuts on the four corners of the unit and tighten by hand. Legs must
be installed to adequately provide proper ventilation to the unit.
5. Level unit by adjusting the four feet and tighten securely. The adjustable feet have an adjustment of one inch
for lining up with other Globe countertop cooking equipment. Do not slide unit with legs mounted, lift if
necessary to move unit.
6. The supplied gas pressure regulator is factory set at 4'' Natural gas W.C. or 10'' for L.P.
7. THESE UNITS ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES ONLY.
Noncombustible clearances: 6'' sides (152 mm) 6'' rear (152 mm) 4'' floor (102 mm)
8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air under the unit by the legs, or behind the unit by
the flue. Do not place objects between the bottom of the unit and the countertop.
9. There must be adequate clearance for removal of the front panel. All major parts except the burners are
removable through the front if the gas line is disconnected.
10. It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas volume and air supply to each burner. This must be done
by an authorized service technician.
11. Pipe threading compound must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. Check all gas piping for leaks with a soap
and water solution before operating unit.
COMMISSIONING:
Commissioning of your new hot plate is of the utmost importance. Commissioning is the thorough and methodical
testing of the equipment, sub systems, and systems to ensure that the final product functions properly and safely at
the work site. By identifying any potential problems (i.e. equipment location, ventilation, local fire/electrical codes,
installation, operator training and certification) prior to equipment being placed into service, costly outages and
potential damage may be avoided.
SAFETY ALWAYS.
