INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: RATING PLATE FOR THIS
EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED IN TWO
PLACES. ONE IS LOCATED INSIDE
BACK PANEL ON LEFT SIDE,
SECOND RATING PLATE LOCATED
UNDER FRONT CONTROL PANEL ON
CENTER.
This equipment must be installed by a competent
factory trained, certified, licensed and / or authorized
service or installation person.
WARNING. This appliance must be earthed.
Prior to installation, the four castors and two locking
channels, supplied loose with the grill, must be
securely located on the underside of the base. The
castors fitted with a brake must be located at the front
of the grill. The castors are located through the locking
channel with the folded edges facing down, such that
when all castors are located, they cannot rotate.
This appliance should be connected to a potential
equalization system. To facilitate this a labeled
equipotential bonding point is fitted to the rear of the
grill.
It is recommended that this grill is connected to a
residual current (earth leakage) device with a tripping
current not exceeding 30mA. The leakage current of
this grill will not exceed 5mA.
This grill is supplied with a seven pin socket, as
specified by the McDonald’s Corporation, for
installation in new grill stations. This socket is supplied
fitted to the grill at the factory. This socket allows for
disconnection from the supply with all pole separation
of at least 3mm.
For connection to existing older grill stations, please
refer to your Kitchen Equipment Supplier for a
conversion kit that allows connection to two power
supply cords and one interlock cord. This kit must be
connected according to the instructions and wiring
diagram supplied with it and the warning labels
supplied with the kit must be applied to the grill.
CAUTION: Prior to installation, check the electrical
supply to ensure input voltage and phase
match the equipment voltage rating and
phase. See data plate located rear left
side of grill and lower front panel.
Grill is to be located directly under ventilation system
and fit securely with grill locks attached.
Once installed in the grill station underneath the
ventilation system, the raised position of the upper
platens must be adjusted to allow at least 40mm (1.6”)
of clearance between the handle on the front of the
upper platen and the lower lip of the ventilation system
hood. The raised position of each platen is adjusted by
raising or lowering the upper of the two microswitches
(limit switches) in the rear of the grill. The lower
microswitch position must not be adjusted.
Grill plate must be level front to back, side to side and
diagonally. This leveling must be done with the unit
under the hood and in it’s normal operational position
to prevent warping of the grill plate.
NOTE: Once the platen elevation is adjusted, set the
mechanical over-run bolts in the rear of the
unit to prevent accidental over-run in the event
of failure of the upper microswitch.
Installation shall be made with the gas connector that
has been specified by The McDonald’s Corporation
and is supplied loose with the grill. The quick
disconnect fitting and gas shut off valve must be
installed in the direction indicated on their outer body.
National Codes Requirements:
The type of gas for which the grill is equipped is
stamped on the data plate on the inside rear of the unit
and on the lower front panel. Connect a grill stamped
for Natural Gas (High (H) or Low (L) Calorific Value)
only to Natural Gas; connect those stamped for
Propane Gas only to Propane Gas. When installing
gas grills, the installation must comply with the latest
edition of the National Gas Installation Requirements.
When installing any type of gas-fired commercial
kitchen equipment, the requirements of the National
Fire Protection Association must be followed implicitly.
Gas Connections, and Pipe Sizing:
The size of the gas line is very important. If the line is
too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will
be low. This will cause slow recovery and delayed
ignition. The incoming gas pressure line should be a
minimum of 1-1/2”. All grills require a 1” connection.
Before connecting new pipe the pipe must be blown
out to dispose of any foreign particles. These particles
will cause improper operation.
When using thread compound, use small amounts on
male threads only. Use a compound that is not
effected by the chemical action of LP gases. Avoid
applying compound to the first two threads to prevent
clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
Have the installer check all gas plumbing with a soap
solution for leaks. DO NOT USE matches, candles or
other ignition sources in checking for leaks.
