INSTALLATION
DANGER: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED AT THE
TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE TO GROUND THE
APPLIANCE COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND
DEATH.
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE BY
PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY
AND PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE
INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT. UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
NOTICE: The data plate is located inside the control compartment of
each griddle. The griddle voltage, serial number, gas
specifications, and clearance specifications are on the data
plate. This information should be carefully read and
understood before proceeding with the installation.
NOTICE: The installation of any components such as a vent hood,
grease extractors, fire extinguisher systems, must
conform to their applicable National, State and locally
recognized installation standards.
5.1 Electrical Connection
The griddle is supplied with a cord and plug. The receptacle is not provided with
the griddle.
Follow the receptacle manufacturer’s instructions when connecting the receptacle
to the power supply.
5.2 Gas Connection
This griddle is manufactured for use with the type of gas indicted on the nameplate.
Contact the factory if your type of gas does not match the nameplate data.
All gas connectors must be in accordance with local codes and comply with
the National Fuel Federal Gas Codes ANSI Z223.1 latest edition.
This appliance should be installed with a separate gas valve in the gas line
ahead of the unit. Use a 3/4 inch or larger gas supply line.
Remove the 5/16 inch nuts securing the rear of burners. These nuts are for
securing the main burners during transportation only. The rear burner shield
must be removed to gain access to the nuts.
A pressure regulator for the type of gas specified is supplied with each
appliance.
This regulator must be installed in the gas supply line. (Note the direction
of the gas flow arrow.) The pressure in the manifold of the appliance should
be tested with a manometer and the regulator adjusted for proper pressure with
the appliance operating at full fire. A 1/8 inch NPT tap is provided in the
manifold for connecting a manometer.

11
INSTALLATION CONT’D
Correct manifold pressures are:
5 inches water column for natural gas
10 inches water column for propane
When replacing the plug in the manifold, a pipe joint compound or sealant
should be used that is resistant to the action of liquid petroleum gas.
Initial adjustments are the responsibility of the installer and are not chargeable
to Star Manufacturing International.
After the griddle is in its final position, adjust the legs to create 1/8 inch slant
from back to front. This will allow the grease to run into the grease gutter and
provide the proper combustion air for the burners.
