THESE UNITS ARE SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION ON
NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES ONLY.
DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Combustible Clearance Requirements: 6” sides, 6” back
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE:
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If equipment is received damaged, either apparent or concealed, a claim
must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. It must then be signed by the carrier
representative (ie: driver). If this is not done, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary
forms.
Concealed damage or loss if not apparent until after equipment is uncrated, a request for inspection must be made

once you’ve uncrated it in your facility using the adjustable feet.
Proper ventilation is crucial to safe and optimum performance. Ensure that the oven is installed underneath a ventilation
hood according to all applicable local and national codes. Keep adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion
chamber.
NOTE: Regulator needed for use.

Gas Conversion
The following instructions are for the conversion from Natural Gas to Propane (L.P.) on all models. The
conversion should be done before connecting the unit to the gas supply. It is recommended that an
authorized service agency perform this conversion.
NOTE: This griddle ships from the factory congured for areas with an altitude that is lower than
6,500 ft.
1. Ensure gas supply and gas type, as shown on unit serial plate agree. Unit installation must conform
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the National Gas Installation Code,
CSA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CSA-B149.2 as applicable and in accordance with local
codes.
2. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance and gas
pressure regulator for safety and ease in servicing.
3. The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed on the appliance prior to connecting the
equipment to the gas line. Failure to install a regulator could be potentially hazardous and will void
limited equipment warranty.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will maintain the appearance and performance of your charbroiler for
years to come. Follow these tips to keep your charbroiler operating at its best.

Once daily, it is recommended that the backsplash, sides, and front of your griddle be thoroughly cleaned.
Additionally, it is recommended that the grease tray be removed, emptied, and thoroughly cleaned.
Once a week, it is recommended that the entire griddle surface be thoroughly cleaned. If necessary, use
a griddle stone, brush or steel wool on the surface. Be sure to rub with the grain of the metal while the
griddle remains warm - NOT hot(!).
A detergent may be used on the surface to help remove tough, stuck-on food product. Provided a
detergent is used, extreme care must be taken to be sure that the utilized detergent is completely
removed. Upon absolute removal of the detergent, the griddle surface should then be covered with a thin

progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and
