Installation
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS ONLY.
SET UP
1. Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic from the equipment.
2. Place the equipment in the desired position and height.
3. Install the four (4) legs onto the equipment.
4. Clean and dry the equipment thoroughly before using.
The installation of this equipment must conform with local codes, or with the National Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/
NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.
• The equipment and its 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
• The equipment must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less then ½
psi (3.5 kPa).
Clearance and positioning around the equipment:
• This equipment must be installed adjacent to non-combustible surfaces only with a minimum spacing of 6”
from all sides. This equipment must be a distance of 6” from other equipment. The equipment must have
the 4” legs installed and be placed on a non-combustible surface.
Air Supply and ventilation:
• Theareainfrontandaroundtheequipmentmustbekeptcleartoavoidanyobstructionoftheowof
combustion and ventilation air.
• Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times in front of and at the sides of the equipment for
servicing and proper ventilation.
Pressure Regulator:
• All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efcientoperation.TheregulatorprovidedforthisequipmentisadaptableforbothNaturalgasandLPgas.
• Regulatorspecications:¾”NPTinletandoutlet,factoryadjustedfor5”WCNaturalGasstandardandmay
beconvertedbyqualiedpersonneltobeusedforPropaneat10”WC.
Prior to connecting the
regulator, check the incoming
line pressure. The regulator
can only withstand a maximum
pressureof½PSI(14”WC).
If the line pressure is beyond
this limit, a step down regulator
will be required. The arrow on
thebottomshowsgasow
direction and should point
downstream to the equipment.

Installation
Gas Conversion (see Page 9):
• Conversion from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane (LP) or vice versa may only be performed by the factory or
itsauthorizedserviceagent.Incaseoftroubleshooting,ensurethecorrectoricesizesofthespudshave
been provided.
• NaturalGasOriceis#45.
• LiquidPropaneGasOriceis#54.
• Oricesizeismarkedonthespud.
LIGHTING THE PILOT:
The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas is
supplied to the equipment.
1. Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to
clear the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit at the end of the tube. Hold an ignition source through the pilot light hole in the
frontpanelatthepilottube.Whentheameignitesremoveignitionsource.
5. Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.
Smoke appearing on initial use of the equipment is normal. This is a result of the rust preventative coating
burningoff.Allowtheequipmentto“burnin”foratleast15minutesbeforetherstuse.
Pilot Flame Regulation:
• Thepilotameontheequipmenthasbeenfactoryadjusted.Whenadjustmentisnecessary,adjustthe
pilotamesassmallaspossiblebuthighenoughtolighttheburnerimmediatelywhentheburnervalveis
turnedtothehighestsetting.Accesstothepilotameadjustmentscrewisobtainedbyremovingthefront
panel.
Burner Adjustment:
• Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to highest setting. Slowly decrease mixing
ringaperturetogiveasoftblueamehavingluminoustips.Thenslowlyincreaseopeningtoapointwhere
theyellowtipsdisappearandahardblueameisobtained.

8
Operation
Maintenance
Before initial use, turn the gas control knob to the maximum setting and allow the equipment to burn-in for 15
minutes. Seeing smoke coming from the cooking surface is normal during burn-in. After 15 minutes of burn-in,
equipment is ready for use.
1. Hold the leg and rotate the adjustable feet so the equipment is level.
2. Set the grill grates to the full tilt position to start. This will allow grease to run down the grates and into the
driptraytoreduceare-ups.
3. Check the drip tray frequently and add water as necessary.
4. To ignite the burners, press and turn the gas control knob to high position.
5. Allow the equipment to pre-heat before attempting to use.
6. Adjust the valve set-point to obtain the desired level of heat.
7. To adjust the grill grate(s), raise or lower the back of the grates. Turn unit off and allow the grill grate(s) to
cool. Make sure to use pot holders or oven gloves to reposition.
• Aqualiedservicecompanyshouldchecktheunitforsafeandefcientoperationonanannualbasis.
• Gaspipingshallbeacertainsizeandinstalledtoprovideasupplyofgassufcienttomeetthefullgas
input of the equipment.
• A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold within 4 ft. (1.2m) of the equipment
and in a position where it can be reached in the event of an emergency.
• Check entire gas piping system for leaks every so often. Using a gas leak detector or soapy water solution
is recommended.
• Installequipmentunderefcientexhausthoodwithameprooflterswithadistanceofnolessthan4feet
betweenthetopoftheequipmentandtheltersoranyothercombustiblematerials.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your equipment daily. DO NOT clean
equipment with steel wool.
1. Allow the equipment to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Using a wire brush, scrape the grill grate(s) to remove any food residue.
3. To clean equipment, use either a damp cloth, sponge with soapy water or a metal scraper.
4. Dry grates thoroughly to prevent rusting.
5. Empty and clean the drip tray.

CAUTION: ENSURE THE GAS SUPPLY IS SHUT OFF AT THE MANUAL SHUT OFF
VALVE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE CONVERSION.
1. Switch off the gas at the main supply valve and allow the unit to cool down before commencing with the
conversion.
2. Lift off the complete grill plate assembly to expose the burners and valves.
3. Remove the burners by loosening the fastening nuts located under the rear of the burner, lift the rear of the
burner and slide backwards.
4. Thebrassoricelocatedontheendofthecontrolvalvemaynowbeloosenedandremovedusinga1/2”
wrench.Replacewiththeneworicefromtheconversionkit,rstapplyingasmallamountofjointingpaste
to the threat on the end of the valve, this will ensure a good gas tight seal.
5. Replacewiththeneworicefromtheconversionkit,rstapplyingasmallamountofjointingpastetothe
thread on the end of the valve, this will ensure a good gas tight seal.
6. ReplacetheburnerbyslidingtheopenendovertheoriceandthenlocatingtheM5studthroughtheslot

converter cap and pin from the regulator, remove the pin and invert then reinstall in the cap. Replace the
cap on the regulator taking care that the gasket is in place on the cap.
8. Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as the regulators can only withstand a
maximumpressureof1/2PSI(13”WC).Ifthelinepressureisbeyondthislimit,astepdownregulatorwill
berequired.Thearrowforgedintothebottomoftheregulatorbodyshowsgasowdirection,andshould
point downstream to the appliance.
9. Check for Gas Leaks - A soapy water solution is recommended for locating gas leakage. Matches, candle
ameorothersourcesofignitionshallnotbeusedforthispurpose.
10. Replacetheloosettinggrillplateassemblyintoposition.
11. Fix the conversion rating plate supplied in the kit adjacent to the original rating plate on the rear of the unit.
Fillinthedetailsrequiredontheinstallationplateandxtotherearoftheunit.
