Installation
Gas Connection
NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
1.
Waldorf Chargrills do not require an electrical connection, as they function on gas supply only.
2.
It is essential that gas supply is correct for chargrill to be installed and that adequate supply pressure
and volume is available. The following checks should be made before installation:
a.
Gas Type
the appliance has been supplied for is shown on a coloured sticker located above gas
entry point and on the rating plate. Check these are correct for gas supply appliance is being
installed for. Gas conversion procedure is detailed in ‘Gas Conversion and Specification’ section of
this manual.
b.
Supply Pressure
required for this appliance is shown in 'Specifications' section of this manual.
Check gas supply to ensure that adequate supply pressure exists.
c.
Input Rate
of this appliance is shown on Rating Plate and in 'Specifications' section of this
manual. Input rate should be checked against available supply line capacity.
Particular note
should be taken if chargrill is being added to an existing installation.
NOTE: It is important that adequately sized piping runs directly to the connection point on the
appliance with as few tees and elbows as possible to give maximum supply volume.
3.
Fit gas regulator supplied, into gas supply line as close to the appliance as possible.
For CH8300, the regulator connection is ½" BSP female. Connection on unit is ½" BSP male.
For all other models, regulator connection is ¾" BSP female. Connection on unit is ¾" BSP
male.
(Refer to ‘Specifications’ section for gas supply location dimensions).
NOTE:
Gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance is convertible between Natural Gas
and LPG as shown in the ‘Gas Conversion Section’ in this manual.
Ensure the regulator is converted to the correct gas type that appliance will operate
on. Regulator outlet pressure is fixed ex-factory for gas type that regulator is
converted to and it is NOT to be adjusted.
4.
A suitable joining compound which resists the breakdown action of LPG, must be used on every gas
line connection, unless compression fittings are used.
NOTE: A manual isolation valve must be fitted to individual appliance supply line.
5.
Correctly locate appliance into its final operating position and using a spirit level, adjust legs so that
the appliance is level and at the correct height.
6.
Connect gas supply to the appliance.
7.
Check gas operating pressure is as shown in 'Specifications' section.
8.
Check all gas connections for leakage using soapy water or other gas detecting equipment.
NOTE: Measure the burner operating pressure at the
manifold test point with one burner, for
CH8300G model or two burners, for other
models, operating at full setting. Operating
pressure is ex-factory set and not to be
adjusted, apart from when converting
between gases, if required. (Refer to ‘Gas
Conversion’ section for details).
