INSTALLATION
A licensed plumber familiar with commercial gas kitchen equipment should connect the gas line to this unit after it
has been set in place. The following is only an overview. Town assumes no responsibility for improper installation
or testing. If you have any problems consult your installer or local gas company. In all case, the codes issued by
the authority having jurisdiction apply. If no such code exists, the NFCG regulations should be followed.
1. Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant fibers that will ignite and burn should be free of unit
installation site. Local safety codes must be complied with in respect to fire hazard avoidance.
2. If your unit is supplied with casters, there should be a restraint on the appliance to limit its movement. If
disconnection of the restraint becomes necessary, be sure to reconnect the restraint after the appliance is returned
to its originally installed position.
3. This appliance is designed for use with Natural or Propane gas only and must be connected only to the type of gas
for which it is equipped as specified on the rating plate secured to the front of the unit.
4. If gas supply system is pressure testing to levels in excess of ½ PSIG, the appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual valve.
5. The gas supply line must be of adequate size to ensure maximum efficiency of the unit and conform with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1.
6. This unit must be installed in an area or room with sufficient fresh air supply to ensure proper combustion. Do not
install unit in an area with strong air currents—cooking will be uneven. Unit must have rear clearance of 6” and
side clearance of 6” from any potential combustibles. Both nearby combustibles and noncombustibles must have
sufficient clearance from the unit. The unit must only be installed on a noncombustible floor surface.
7. It is recommended that unit be installed under a hood with adequate ventilation.
OPERATION
Always follow lighting and shut down instructions when operating your unit.
PILOTS
After the unit has been connected by the licensed plumber and has passed local inspection, turn gas on and light
all of the safty pilots. In a safety pilot, there will be a small control in the front panel for each chamber with a red
button. Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual for startup using safety pilots. The burners will not light if the
safety pilots are not lit first.

PROCEDURE FOR LIGHTING
SEASONING
1. The first time you use the unit the top must be seasoned. This must be done while the ventilation system is in
operation. Wash the top with soapy water to remove all grease and oil from the manufacturing process. Rinse
the top immediately. Fire up the unit and get the top hot.
2. Turn down the heat and wipe the surface with a towel coated with cooking oil. With repeated heating and
wiping, the top will attain a nonstick finish. Do not use soap again to clean the top but rather a griddle scraper
to keep the top free from carbon build-ups.
3. The Mongolian Barbecue requires a pre-heat period of up to 60 minutes to achieve operating temperatures. Do
not allow all burners to operate at full capacity after the top has reached operating temperature. When proper
operating temperature has been reached, turn off every other burnern in a staggered arrangement, this should
provide a satisfactory surface temperature of 500°F. Keep all burners on during high demand periods.
SHUTDOWN
At the end of service shut off all the burners. Leave the pilots on, clean the top of any caramelized build up using
Town grill press or 3m grill cleaner.
COOKING
This unit is similar to a high-speed griddle. Intense heat generated by the burners heats the top to achieve the
searing temperatures of wok-style cooking. Techniques similar to stir-fry are used.
Mongolian Barbecues are designed for use with implements such as Town’s MBR Swords and MBR Veggie
Sticks. Like a wok or a cast iron frying pan, the top must be re-seasoned periodically. Food should not be
allowed to remain on the top as this will cause the top to pit or otherwise deteriorate.
CAUTION: DO NOT CRASH THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TOP. POURING COLD WATER ON THE
TOP WHILE STILL HOT, COULD CAUSE THE CAST IRON TO CRACK
Silver Screw
With all burners ignited, check for proper combustion
indicated by a blue flame.The unit is pre-set at the
factory. However, regional gas blends and movement
in transit may necessitate on-site adjustment. Check that
pilot and thermocouples are properly positioned and
have not shifted during the shipment of the unit. Tip of
thermocouple should be 3
/8”above the pilot flame. The
body of the thermocouple should be engulfed by the
pilot flame.
