Attention should be drawn to the fact that parts of this unit by necessity, will get VERY HOT,
and will cause burns if touched accidentally. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the
supervisor or equivalent to provide SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING for the user.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE FITTED AND TESTED BY A REGISTERED FITTER BEFORE USE.
The unit should be installed in compliance with the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and the
NATIONAL REGULATIONS in force at the time. Particular attention should be paid to the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
All commercial gas catering equipment is recommended to be mounted below an extraction
canopy. Please consult a ventilation engineer or refer to Guidelines DW172 to calculate the
ventilation requirements for cooking areas containing different pieces of gas catering
equipment.
Each appliance requires a flow of fresh air for combustion. Under no circumstances should
air vents on the appliances, or air vents installed by the fitter in the room of the appliance to
supply combustion air, be altered or omitted in any way.
To prevent shocks, all appliances whether gas or electric, must be earthed.

around appliances must be:
CEILING/ SHELF
900mm
REAR
75mm
SIDES
NIL
It should be noted that the sides of the appliance will get hot and appliances with
components sensitive to heat, should not be placed directly next to the unit.
During installation provision must be provided for combustion air supply to the appliance,
which enters the appliance through the base and rear of the appliance, this should not be
blocked at any time. SEE TECHNICAL DETAILS.
Appliances are designed to be installed on Parry Catering Equipment for stability, should
they be fitted on any other surface they should be suitably secured, to prevent excessive
movement.

Installation Instructions
The chargrill is supplied with a 2Kg bag of lava rock. Parry advise that no more than 2 Kg of
lava rock should be used on the unit at any one time. If you overload the chargrill then the
heat is trapped below the rocks and it will take longer to cook the food.
Gas hoses used to connect the appliance to the gas supply must be of the correct
specification for the gas and pressure of the appliance. The gas hose must comply with the
national requirements in force, and be CE marked, of a metal braided construction suitable
for commercial catering equipment. The hoses should be periodically examined and
replaced as necessary
The tube or hose shall be fitted such that there are no sharp bends or torsional strain which
may cause damage or failure of the tube or hose, especially near the end fittings. Torsional
strain can be prevented by using internal unions, swivel joints, etc. The bend radius should
not exceed that stated by the Manufacturer. The hose should not touch the ground and
should be no longer than 1.5m long.
A manual valve should be positioned upstream of the tube or hose unless the connection
fitting incorporates a self-sealing quick release coupling.
Where a quick release coupling is used for horizontal travel such as in commercial catering
appliances it is advisable that the coupling is facing downwards to prevent the ingress of
debris and ensure the hose is formed in to a smooth curve.
All units should have a restraining cable fitted preventing the unit from being pulled away
from the wall and causing the gas hose to become disconnected accidentally
