LOCATION
For convenience and speed, location of the
unit should be given careful consideration.
If possible, locate the unit so the flow of
cooked product is in a straight line from
storage, in and out of the unit and to the
customer. A Landing table or Dump Table
should be provided on at least one side of
the unit.
• To avoid splashing of hot liquid, unit
must be restrained to prevent tipping.
This can be done by installing the unit in
a battery of appliances, in an alcove or
with adequate ties
• Provision must be made to eliminate
movement of the unit which might cause
strain on electrical and gas connections.
• DO NOT install unit where traffic areas
are on either side or in back of unit.
CLEARANCE
USA:
Gas units are to be installed only in non-
combustible locations. Minimum clear-
ances for non-combustible construc-
tion is 0 inches from sides and 6 inches
from back.
CANADA:
Gas units are certified for installation on
a combustible floor. Minimum clear-
ances for combustible construction is 1
inch from sides and 6 inches from back.
LEVELING
Adjust front feet to level entire unit. Add
additional blocking if necessary on a slop-
ing floor.

RECOMMENDED VENTILATION
REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust hood should comply with ANSI/
NFPA #96 or national, state and local
codes. All units must be under an adequate
power exhaust hood for ventilation of cook-
ing vapors and products of combustion.
Precautions should be taken in the design
of the exhaust hood to avoid interference
with operation of the unit. Consult a local
ventilation company for fire suppression,
design and installation of a hood.
DO NOT extend the
exhaust stack or exhaust
flue of any unit. Doing so may cause a
negative back draft causing malfunction
and interference with burner operation
on the 2400GH and improper exhausting
of cooking vapors on all models.
General Requirements:
1. Exhaust hood must conform to the
applicable national, state and local
codes in which it is installed.
2. In the absence of any such codes it is
recommended that requirements of
the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (ANSI/NFPA), Standard No. 96 be
followed for the design, installation
and use of exhaust system compo-
nents. This includes hoods, grease
removal devices, exhaust ducts,
dampers, air moving devices, auxiliary
equipment and fire extinguishing
equipment for the exhaust system and
the cooking equipment used there-
with in commercial, industrial, institu-
tional and similar cooking applications.
3. Hood Size: The overhead canopy
type hood should be sized to com-
pletely cover the equipment it is
designed to ventilate plus an overhang
of at least 6 inches on all sides of
equipment not immediately adjacent
to walls or other construction extend-
ing above the cooking surface. Non-
canopy, prefabricated “backshelf”
type hoods should be sized according
to the manufacturers specifications.
4. Exhaust Air Volume (minimum):
Canopy hood open on all four sides:
1800 cu. ft./minute. Canopy hood
open on three sides or less: 1200 cu.
ft./minute.
5. Exhaust Air Velocity: All exhaust
ducts should be sized to provide an air
velocity in the ducts of at least 1500
ft./minute.

GAS PIPING
• The unit is equipped with a 1/2” pipe for
gas connection. Shipped with each unit,
for 3/4” gas connection, is one each of
the following:
P/N 00743 - Bushing Hex Reducer
3/4 to 1/2
P/N 01319 - Coupling 3/4 Pipe
• 3/4 NPT minimum supply piping recom-
mended.
• Use only black steel pipe and malleable
fittings for gas connections.
• Pressure loss in the piping must not
exceed 0.3” W.C.
• Be sure gas supply piping is of the
proper size for the BTU input. Take into
consideration all other gas appliances
which must operate from the same gas
supply. Be sure piping will not interfere
with drain pails or valves.
• A compound resistant to the action of
liquified petroleum gas should be used
on the threads of gas supply piping
joints. Check all connections and pipes
with a soap and water solution. Bubbles
indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use an
open flame to check for gas leaks.
Determine the required pipe size of each
section and outlet of the piping system
shown in Solution, with a designated pres-
sure drop of 0.30 inch water column. Gas to
be used has 0.60 specific gravity and a
heating value of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot.
