SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
NATURAL GAS SAFETY:
1) Your Natural Gas griddle is designed to operate on natural gas ONLY, at a pressure of 4” water column (W.C.)
regulated at the natural gas regulator attached at the back of the griddle. Check with your gas utility for local gas
pressure and with your local municipality for building code requirements.
2) Check with your gas utility or with local building codes for instructions to install gas supply line or call a licensed and
knowledgeable installer.
3) It is recommended that an “ON-OFF” shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source:
4) Outdoors after gas line piping exits outside wall or before gas line piping enters ground.
5) Indoors in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.
6) Do not use Teflon ® tape or pipe sealant on any flare ends because you will not obtain a leak-free seal.
7) Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all
male pipe thread. Apply compound or tape to at least the first three threads when making the connection.
8) The outdoor cooking gas 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 pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa)
9) The outdoor cooking gas 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 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa)
10) Turn off your gas griddle when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual valve.
WARNING:
Gas valves are preset at the factory to operate on LP or natural gas. If you wish to convert to a different gas type, be
sure to contact your griddle dealer, licensed plumber or authorized service center for further details. Conversion kits
are not sold to the general public and require a professional to perform service. Failure to properly convert a unit can
cause serious injury to yourself and/or others, irreparable damage to your griddle and void of warranty.
PROPANE GAS SAFETY:
1) Your Propane gas griddle is designed to operate on propane gas ONLY, at a pressure regulated at 11” water column
(W.C.) when equipped with the correct propane orifices on the valves and a propane regulator on the supply line
regulated at the residential meter.
2) Your propane gas griddle is designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. gas cylinder with size of 18.1 / 46cm (Height) /
* 12.5 in /32cm (Width). In the United States, the gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications of the US Department of Transportation for Propane Gas Cylinders.
• Always keep cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Never connect an unregulated propane gas cylinder to the griddle. Do not subject propane cylinders to
excessive heat.
CAUTION:
Never store a propane gas cylinder inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas-burning appliance.
WARNING
• Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near this appliance.
• A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be check by your liquid propane provider.
• Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.
BEWARE OF SPIDERS CAUTION: BURNERS MUSTBE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST USE.
Spidersand small insects occasionally spinwebs or make nests in the burners during warehousing, transit and/or after
long periods of non- use. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the
burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your griddle and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASH BACK” it is
the most common cause, andfrequent inspection and cleaning of the burners is necessary.
