Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.
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 pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANS1/NFPA 70, or the Canadian

2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Check
all connections for leaks using soapy water before use.
1. Ideally an exhaust system should be located directly above the appliance to remove
combustion gases and steam generated by the unit.
2. Appliance is intended for use on noncombustible floors. Minimum clearance from
combustible and noncombustible wall construction, 3" (76 mm) on sides and 6" (152
mm) from back.
3. Set the appliance in place and level using spirit level.
4. Appliance location must allow air supply to unit and obstruction free clearance for air
opening into the combustion chamber.
5. Make service connections as indicated.

3.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: In the event of main burner ignition failure, a 5 minute
purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition
source.
WARNING: In the event you smell gas, shut down equipment at the
main shut off valve and contact the local gas company or gas
supplier for service.
CAUTION: The appliance and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing the appliance.
1. Open manual gas shut off valve located on back of right-hand console facing front
of unit.
2. Ensure skillet pan is in the down position.
3. Turn power switch ON. Set thermostat dial to desired setting. RED pilot light will
come ON.
4. This will turn on electronic ignition. When the glow coil has reached temperature,
the gas solenoid valve will open supplying gas to the burner. GREEN pilot light will
come ON.
5. Gas in burner is ignited by the glow coil.
6. When ignition is complete, the flame sensor signals the controller to shut off the
glow coil.
7. When the skillet has reached set temperature, the pilot lights will go off and the
burner will shut off. The unit will cycle “ON” and “OFF” to maintain set temperature.
8. Turn power “OFF” and thermostat “OFF” when skillet not in use.
NOTICE: If gas supply is interrupted during operation, a five minute
period of complete shut off of gas supply is required before
restarting.
