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 (see NFPA
page at the beginning of this manual) 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. This appliance is equipped for Natural gas, for conversion to LP gas please see another
conversion kits instruction.
5. 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.
6. Level unit by adjusting the four feet and tighten securely. The adjustable feet have an
adjustment of one inch for lineup with other countertop lines. Do not slide unit with legs
mounted, lift if necessary to move unit.

9. 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
counter top.
10. There must be adequate clearance for removal of the front panel. All major parts

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 damages may be avoided.
SAFETY ALWAYS.
