IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the Owners Manual, ensuring you provide proper
ventilation when cooking with gas.

Mongolian Barbeque GrillOwner’s Manual
GAS CONNECTION - The gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4” NPT. For proper operation, the gas supply service line
must be the same size or greater than the inlet line size of the appliance. The gas line size must not be reduced at any point along
the supply line.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE - A gas pressure regulator and a contractor-supplied shut-off valve must be plumbed in the gas
service line ahead of the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.
Visually double check any installer-supplied intake pipes and/or blow them out using compressed air to clear any dirt or debris,
threading chips, or other foreign matter – before installing a service line. Those particles will clog gas orices when gas pressure is
applied. Compounds used on threaded joints of this appliance piping must be resistant to the action of NG and LP gas and provide
a gas tight seal to prevent leaks.
The gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas line – failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment
warranty. The regulators supplied with ranges have 3/4" NPT connections; the regulator is adjusted at the factory for
5" W.C. (water column) manifold gas pressure (natural gas) or 10" W.C. manifold gas pressure for propane gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure – as these regulators can only withstand a maximum inlet pressure
of 14" W.C. (1/2 PSI); exceeding this pressure will damage them. If the gas supply line pressure is greater than this amount, a step-
down regulator will be required. A gas ow direction arrow is cast into the body of the regulator to minimize installation error – it
should point downstream to the appliance. The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and should not
be removed.
Any adjustment to the regulator must be made only by qualied and licensed service
personnel with the proper calibrated test equipment. Gas connections should be performed
by a qualied licensed contractor.
INSTALLATION - GAS STANDARDS AND CODES
IMPORTANT - The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149-1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149-2
as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system.
When installing the pressure regulator - remember it can only handle 1/2 PSI. In
every LPG installation, you have high source pressures, ranging from 20 PSI to 100
PSI. If the high pressure gas line from the LPG tank is directly connected to the unit
without the proper step-down regulator, it will rupture the diaphragm in the valve,
rendering it useless.

2. Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply line.
3. Check for gas leaks at the exible coupling or gas connector tting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
4. Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas ttings; active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
5. Turn pilot adjustment screw counter-clockwise, then light standing pilot and
adjust ame 1/4" high.
6. Turn ON gas valve/thermostat to light main burners.
7. For complete shut down, shut off gas valves and turn pilot adjustment screw
clockwise to shut off gas to the pilots.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Lighting and Shut Down Instructions
Always use the following lighting and shutdown instructions below when operating your Mongolian Barbeque Grill.
A 5 minute complete shut off period is required before lighting or relighting a Mongolian Barbeque Grill. See diagrams on page 5.
1. Beforing allowing gas to ow to the Mongolian Barbeque Grill, ensure all gas valves are OFF by turning each handle clockwise.
Check for leaks using soapy water or another suitable leak detector. Dont use an open ame for testing.
2. Use a gas match to light the burner pilots. See gure 1.
3. Main burner valves shall be in off position. An ignition port is provided for each pilot burner. Use a ashlight to locate each prior
to lighting it is recommended one person light the pilots and the second to locates and holds the red button on each safety
control.
4. Starting at grease drawer access door, insert the ignited lighter through the ignition port and light the pilot burner as you push
and hold the red button on the safety control.
On initial startup, allow 1/2 to 1 minute for air trapped in the gas lines to bleed while holding the safety control ignition
button. A qualied gas service technician can bleed the line from the pressure test port. It is located on the manifold to the
right of the front access door.
Lighting Instructions
1. Before attempting to light this appliance, the door if so equipped, shall be open.
2. Turn the appliance manual gas shut-off valve to the OFF position.
3. Turn the combination gas control knob to the OFF position.
4. Turn the control to the OFF position.
5. Wait 5 minutes.
6. Turn the appliance manual gas shut-off valve to the ON position.
7. Turn the combination gas control knob to the PILOT position.
8. Light the pilot with a match while depressing and holding the combination gas control knob until the pilot remains lit upon
releasing the gas control knob.
9. Turn the combination gas control knob to the ON position

IMPORTANT
• The natural gas unit is designed for 5”W.C. operational pressure. A minimum of 7”W.C. must be maintainded or performance
of the unit will not meet specications. The propane unit is designed for 10” W.C. operational gas pressure at the outlet. A
minimum of 12” W.C. must be maintained or performance of the unit will not meet specications.
• There is 1/8” test tap in the front right section of the manifold behind the access door. Using a manometer or similar device,
operating pressure should be veried.
Opeating Instructions
1. The top should come to full operating temperature in approximately 60 minutes after all burners have been lit. Use a high
temperature thermometer to verify the cook surface has reached a minimum operating temperature of 500°F.
2. When the unit reaches operating temperature turn OFF every other burner.The burners on the Mongolian Barbeque Grill
AMBG-36, AMBG-42,AMBG-48 and AMBG-60 are sufficient to maintain operating temperature except during extremly busy
cycles when additional burners may be necessary.
Operational Overview
The Mongolian Barbeque Grill is a high performance griddle-style units. Multiple burners are equally spaced under the top with
individual valves and safety controls. Depending on the size of the top up to four chefs can cook simultaneously as they sautѐ
vegetables, sh, meat and polurty as guests watch. The Mongolian Barbeque Grills are similar to a tepanyaki griddle but much more
powerful.
Seasoning
The rst time you use the unit the top must be seasoned. This must be done while the ventilation system is operating. Wash the
top with soapy water to remove all grease and oil from the manufacturing process. Rinse the top immediately. Using the procedure
described earlier; re up the unit and get the top hot.
Turn down the heat and wipe the surface with a towel coated with cooking oil.With repeated heating and wiping, the top will attain
a non stick nish. Do not use soap again to clean the top but rather a griddle scraper to keep the top free from carbon build-ups.
Cooking
This unit is similar to a high-speed griddle. Intense heat generated by the burners heats the tops to achieve the searing temperatures
of wok-style cooking.Techniques similar to stir-fry are used.
Like a wok or cast iron fry pan the Mongolian Barbeque Grill top must be re-seasoned periodically. Food should not be allowed to
remain on the top as this will cause the top to pit or otherwise deterioate.
