GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to
provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas
input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected
to existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it
has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used
sparingly and only on the male threads of the pipe
joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action
of L.P. gases.
WARNING: Any loose dirt or metal particles which
are allowed to enter the gas lines on this appliance will
damage the valve and affect its operation. When
installing this appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free
from all internal loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each
hotplate. It should be connected to the inlet pipe at the
rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it.
The supply pressure to the regulator is not to exceed
1/2 PSIG. It is shipped set for 10" water column
manifold pressure for use with propane gas.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream
from the manifold and within six feet of the hotplate.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the hotplate is sealed at the factory to
prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until the
actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
NATURAL GAS - CONVERSION
This hotplate is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and
is shipped from the factory for use with propane gas.
To convert to natural gas, install the burner orifice
hoods, located on the manifold, as follows:
1. Remove grates and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the
orifice hoods supplied.
3. Replace the burners and grates. Be sure the
venturi opening is positioned on valve orifice.
4. Set manifold pressure to (5) inch water column. A
1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be
removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove
the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the pressure
regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The
letters "NAT" should now be visible on the plug.
The regulator is now set for 5" (12.7 cm) water
column. The pilot flame may need to be adjusted
for NAT gas.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Check entire piping system for leaks. Soap and water
solution or other material acceptable for the purpose,
shall be used in locating gas leakage.
CAUTION
Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition
shall not be used for locating gas leaks.
PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The hotplate is equipped with factory pre-set
standing pilots and should be lit immediately
after the gas is turned on.
Pilot lights may need an adjustment based on local gas
supplies. See below for pilot light adjustments. If the
operator smells gas or the pilot lights need to be relit:
1. Turn off main valve to unit.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5
minutes to clear gas.
3. The pilot lights on this hotplate can be adjusted by
turning the adjustable screw counterclockwise to
open and clockwise to close.
4. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.
5. Adjust pilot light flames as small as possible around
pilot head, usually about 1/4" high, but high enough
to light burner immediately when burner valve is
turned on high.
6. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.
7. To turn burners off, turn knobs clockwise to
"OFF."
