GAS CONNECTION
The data plate on the rear of the stockpot indicates the type of gas your unit is equipped
to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.
Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the
Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or any foreign matter before connecting
Codes require that a gas shut-off valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the stockpot.
The gas supply line must be at least t he equivalent of ¾” iron pipe.
A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside of the broiler when making
the gas supply connection. Standard orifices are set for 5"WC (Water Column) for
Natural Gas — 10"WC (Water Column) for Propane. Use the

” pipe tap on the burner
manifold for checking pressure. Make sure the gas piping is clean and free of
obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
An adequate gas supply is necessary. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the
volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A minimum supply pressure of 7"
W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units
operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should not show any
appreciable drop.
When testing the gas supply piping system, if test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa),
the stockpot and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system. When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the stockpot must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut -off valve
during any pressure testing of the system.
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.
Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
OPERATION
The stockpot range and its parts are hot. Use care when operating,
cleaning or servicing the stockpot range.
CONTROLS
T he burner i s in two sections, controlled by two heavy duty infinite control valves. The
center “Star” section (Fig . 6) is on separate burner with an input of 40,000 BTU/hr. It is
controlled by the right burner valve knob. The outer circle of the burner (Fig . 6) is the
other separate 40,000 BTU/hr input burner, controlled by the left burner valve knob.
These two separate burners provide heat flexibility. With one burner off and the second
burner set low, up to both burners full on, you can move from low simmer on up to
80,000 BTU/hr input.
