Congratulations on your purchase of a York or MasterRange wok range. It will give you many
years of trouble free use if it is properly used and maintained. Please call our customer service department at
718/388-5650 if you have questions regarding equipment operation or care.
Your range has been carefully engineered and constructed with the best possible workmanship and materials to
provide many years of satisfactory service. Proper installation is vital if best appearance and performance is to be
achieved.
POSITIONING
1) Position crate in approximate location that the unit will occupy. Uncrate range and locate sealed cartons on
the range top containing the following accessories: (1) set of adjustable legs or casters if ordered; (1) drip pan
for each chamber; (1) extension chimney for each opening in return splash if your unit is equipped with a flue
riser; and (1) gas pressure regulator. Find the legs and set one leg by each range gusset into which it will be
inserted. Raise 1 end of the unit at a time; insert legs; and tighten set screws with ¼” Allen wrench. If your
range has flue risers, slip the extension chimney over each riser.
2) Range is now ready for final positioning. Carefully lift range into desired position to avoid damage to
adjustable legs. Clearances from combustible construction are 6” at rear and sides. Remove burner tie wires
and other packing materials. Check gas burners that may have shifted in transit and center them by eye if
required. Turn all gas valve lever handles to off (horizontal) position. Check air mixer alignment to gas burner
nipple and tighten set screws if necessary.
3) Clearances for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances.
This range is for installation only on noncombustible floors.

The optional field joint joins two or more ranges. It must be ordered when the ranges are built. It cannot be
added to existing ranges. A butt field joint has a standing seam between ranges while a splice field joint gives a
smooth fit.
Each range has a vertical seam at the joint between the ranges. The backsplashes will be joined.
1) Uncrate the ranges and install legs onto the gussets. Secure legs with the gusset set screw.
2) Carefully locate the battery into final location. Align the sides to be joined. The battery was assembled at the
factory to assure good fit. Pitched floors will add difficulty to battery assembly (figures 1 and 2).

1) Check that all gas valves on the unit are turned off (lever handles in horizontal position) before turning
on main gas line. Check for leaks using soapy water or other suitable leak detector.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR TESTING
2) Main burner valve should be in offposition (figure 3). Place a burning match by the pilot burner in the
combustion chamber of the range. Depress red safety pilot button on (figure 1) and light pilot.
3) The pilot should light. Continue to hold the button for 1 minute or until the pilot stays lit.
TEMPORARY AND EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
For temporary shut down turn all burner valves to off position.
For an extended period of time, turn all burner valves off and also turn off gas supply to the range.
