Gas Connection
This griddle is manufactured for use with the type of gas indicted on the data
label. If this does not match your gas type contact the factory and a
conversion kit can be acquired.
All gas connectors must be in accordance with local codes and comply with
the National Fuel Federal Gas Codes ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.
This appliance should be installed with a separate gas valve in the gas line
ahead of the unit. Use a 3/4-inch or larger gas supply line.
Remove the 5/16-inch nuts securing the rear of burners. These nuts are for
securing the main burners during transportation only. The rear burner shield
must be removed to gain access to the nuts.
A pressure regulator for the type of gas specified is supplied with each
appliance and is plumbed into the manifold. The pressure in the manifold of
the appliance should be tested with a manometer and the regulator adjusted
for proper pressure with the appliance operating at full fire. A 1/8-inch NPT
tap is provided in the manifold for connecting a manometer.
Correct manifold pressures are:
5 inches water column for natural gas
10 inches water column for propane
When replacing the plug in the manifold, a pipe joint compound or sealant
should be used that is resistant to the action of liquid petroleum gas.
Initial adjustments are the responsibility of the installer and are not
chargeable to Star Manufacturing International.
After the griddle is in its final position, adjust the legs to create 1/4-inch slant
from back to front. This will allow the grease to run into the grease gutter
and provide the proper combustion air for the burners (the plate is installed
on the griddle with the proper slope. Differential leg adjustments are
required to adjust for floor or counter slope only).
