A gas pressure regulator is supplied with your griddle. The regulator must be installed before
connecting griddle to gas supply line.
The griddle and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The griddle must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it’s individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
This griddle is designed for installation in non-combustible locations with
0 inch clearance from sides and back; combustible locations with 8” clearance sides and back.
Please note: air vent can plug with grease, thereby shutting gas
supply off. Install regulator in a drip-free area.

The area in front of, and above the griddle must be clear to avoid obstruction of flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Means must be provided for adequate air supply and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber.
Adequate clearances must be provided in front and sides of the griddle for servicing and proper
operation.
It is important that the griddle be installed under an exhaust hood which is adequate to remove the
products of combustion and cooking vapors. Sufficient make-up air must also be provided to the
space where the griddle is located to replace that removed through the exhaust hood.
Make sure the gas pressure regulator supplied with the griddle is installed correctly.
Connect outlet side of regulator to griddle. The regulator is set at 4 inches w.c. on natural gas and 11
inches w.c. on propane gas. A 1/8” pressure tap is provided on the gas manifold at the front of the
griddle for checking the gas pressure.
Connect griddle to the gas supply line. Under no circumstances should the gas supply line be smaller
than the inlet pipe on the griddle. A gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas supply line upstream
of the griddle for complete shutdown and service. Use pipe sealant on all pipe joints. Sealant must be
resistant to the action of L.P. gasses.
For proper performance, the griddle must be level. If legs are provided, adjust feet at bottom of legs to
level griddle. If legs are not provided, seal the base of the griddle to the countertop with silicone.
If the griddle is supplied with casters, the installation must be made with a connector that complies
with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances , and a quick-disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,
. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the griddle without depending on
the connector and the quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the griddle movement.
Restraining device should be connected to legs or back of body.
Turn all burner valves and pilot valves to “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes.
Turn on pilot valves and light pilots. Adjust flame height to approximately 1/2”.
Turn on burner valves to operate your griddle.
For complete shutdown, turn off all valves and the gas shutoff valve located upstream of the griddle.
To relight, repeat above procedures.
Contact factory, factory representative, or a local service company to perform maintenance and
repairs.
To clean griddle plate, use warm water, a mild cleanser and scouring pad.
At least once per day, clean and empty grease pan.
Periodically, but not less than once every 3 months, clean burner orifices using warm water and wire
brush. Make sure equipment is cold before removing burners and orifices.
