INSTALLATION
WARNING: THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
ASSEMBLY OF BATTERY - FLOOR MODEL UNITS:
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, refer to Sectional Battery Component Assembly Instructions supplied
with each unit.
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.
7. Connect gas supply at right, left, or both ends. When a Spreader Plate with a "Tee" connection is inserted in a
battery, the gas supply may be connected at this point. Ranges with rear connections may also be used in this
respect. If five or more units are battened, more than one supply line should be used. Each supply line should
have a readily accessible, approved hand shutoff valve.
8. "Open" ends of the manifold must be capped.
9. Turn off all burner valves.
10. Turn on gas supply and immediately check all the unions for leaks. USE SOAPY WATER ONLY FOR
TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
11. When entire gas system has been proved, turn off gas supply during additional installation.
12. A filler to cover the "gap" between the range fronts and tops is provided. Refer to Sectional Battery
Component Assembly Instructions supplied with each unit.
ASSEMBLY OF COUNTER MODELS:
1. Each Char Broiler is a complete unit with an individual %" NPT supply connection at the rear. A %" manual
gas shutoff valve is recommended at the gas supply inlet for complete shutdown. Standard pipe fittings are
required.
2. The regulator shipped with the unit must be installed at the gas supply inlet. Be sure regulator is connected so
that the gas flow is in the same direction as the arrow on the bottom of the regulator.
3. The manifold pressure must be maintained at the pressure marked on the serial plate; 4" W.C. for natural gas
and 10" W.C. for propane gas.
4. If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
Latest Edition. Canadian installation must comply with CAN/CGA-B 149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code,
Code CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code.
WARNING: IN THE EVENT A GAS ODOR IS DETECTED, SHUT DOWN THE EQUIPMENT AT
THE MAIN SHUTOFF VALVE AND CONTACT THE LOCAL GAS COMPANY OR GAS
SUPPLIER FOR SERVICE.
