Installation
Instruction Sheet
packed with the hotplate before starting any

, page 11.
SETUP
Setup the hotplate only on a firm, level, non-combustible surface.
The hotplate must be leveled with a spirit level in its final operational
position, prior to beginning the gas piping installation.
Clearances to adjacent surfaces must be maintained.
Maintain a minimum of 3” from hotplate sides and 3” from rear of the
hotplate to combustible walls; 0” from sides and rear of the hotplate
to non-combustible walls; and; 4” from non-combustible counter as
established by provided 4” legs. Supplied legs must be properly
installed. Once installed, the legs should NOT be removed.
Maintain adequate clearances for cleaning and proper operation.
The hotplate must be installed in an area with sufficient make-up air for
proper combustion, and must be installed such that the flow of combustion
and ventilation air will not be obstructed.
For servicing, Wells Mfg. recommends 6” clearance from rear of the
hotplate to wall.
When used with an exhaust fan, special precautions must be observed to
avoid interference with the operation of the hotplate, such as drafts and air
starvation.
The current edition of NFPA 96 (
Standard for the Installation of
Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from
Commercial Cooking Equipment
) specifies ventilation requirements to
ensure the removal of exhaust gasses and products of combustion.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT
THIS GAS HOTPLATE INSTALLATION CONFORMS TO ALL
APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES.
The area where the hotplate is installed must be kept clear of combustibles
and flammables. This includes mops, rags, grease, wrapping paper and
electric cords.
