1 - PRE-INSTALLATION
1-1
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. Landing tables should be pro-
vided 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
Gas units are to be installed only in non-
combustible locations. Minimum clear-
ances for non-combustible construc-
tion on all units is 1/4 inch from sides
and 6 inches from back.
LEVELING
Adjust front casters or feet to level entire
unit. Add additional blocking if necessary
on a sloping 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 neg-
ative back draft causing malfunction and
interference with burner operation and
improper exhausting of cooking vapors on
all units.
General Requirements:
1. Exhaust hood must conform to appli-
cable national, state and local codes.
2. It is recommended that requirements
of the National Fire Protection Associ-
ation (NFPA), Standard No. 96 be fol-
lowed for the design, installation and
use of exhaust system components.
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 therewith in commer-
cial, industrial, institutional 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 CHARACTERISTICS
All gas units are tested using local gas sup-
ply. Your unit may or may not operate cor-
rectly on your type of gas. Therefore, the
unit should be checked and corrected if
necessary. See service manual.
DO NOT attempt to use
any other gas than that
specified on dataplate located on the
front panel.

GAS PIPING
The Model 18G is equipped with a
1/2” pipe for gas connection.
Use only black steel pipe and malleable fit-
tings 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 consider-
ation 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 liqui-
fied 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 0.50 inch water column. Gas
to be used has 0.65 specific gravity and a
heating value of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot.
