INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION:
A.
BROILER SECTION:
1. Locate the 3/4" NPT threaded pipe nipple protruding from the upper left rear of the unit.
2. Connect gas supply to this nipple. Use pipe joint compound which is suitable for LP gas on all threaded connections.*
3. Check for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME.
*It is recommended that a main shutoff valve be provided outside the unit at the time of installation.
B.
OVEN SECTION:
On all threaded connections the pipe joint compound must be approved for use with natural and LP gas.
I. INDIVIDUAL UNITS:
1. Remove valve panel.
2. Level the unit by adjusting the legs. Use a long spirit level on the racks and front top rail.
3. A. For units without a rear gas connection, connect the gas supply to the right or left side of the manifold. Be sure to cap
the unused side.
B. For units with a rear gas connection, the gas supply to the unit will be made at the right rear. Be certain both
ends of the manifold are capped.
4. Turn off all burner valves.
5. Turn on gas supply and immediately check all gas connections for leaks. Use soapy water only. Never use an open
flame.
6. Put valve panel back onto the unit.
II. ASSEMBLY OF BATTERY:
The units were aligned and fitted at the factory, from left to right as listed on the factory order, and must be installed in this
order to expect proper alignment and fit.
1. Position the center range of the battery and carefully level unit. Use a long spirit level four ways; across front top rail
and the rear collar plate, and along each edge.
2. Remove all valve panels. Mark, so they will be returned to their respective unit.
3. Bring up adjacent units, level by same method and by using the center unit as reference. Match front rails and rear
collar plates. When battery is set on a masonry base and legs are not used, shims may be used. Special attention
should be given to Fry Top ranges to allow proper drainage on griddles.
4. Where spreader plates are installed between units, the spreader plate should be secured to each adjacent unit at the
front by means of the 1 %" manifold and along the sides toward the rear, by bolts into top angles of the adjacent
units.
5. Connect units together by mating the unions. Make unions just HAND TIGHT at this time.
6. Starting at the center and working toward the ends, tighten each union gradually, going from one to another until all
are finally tight. A special thin wrench which fits the union nut is provided with each battery, or a chain wrench
can be used.
