GAS APPLIANCE CODE COMPLIANCE
The installation of gas piping from the outlet side of the gas meter or
service regulator to the charbroiler must be performed by a technician
qualified and certified or licensed to install gas-fired equipment.
A licensed and qualified technician must perform the initial startup and
adjustment of this appliance.
The installation of this gas-fired appliance must conform to local codes,
or in the absence of such codes, with the current edition of
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
For use in the State of Massachusetts, this appliance must be installed
in compliance with Massachusetts Fuel Gas and Plumbing Code
CMR 248.
The installation of this gas-fired appliance must comply with applicable
portions of NFPA 96 for ventilation. The current edition of NFPA 96
(Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke
and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment)
specifies ventilation requirements to ensure the removal of exhaust
gasses and products of combustion.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE
THAT THIS GAS GRIDDLE INSTALLATION CONFORMS TO ALL
APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES.
The venting of this appliance must not be obstructed, nor may such
venting interfere with the flow of combustion air required for proper

INSTALLING THE GAS GRIDDLE
Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must
match the nameplate specifications. Connecting the hotplate to the
wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety and/or
performance of the appliance.
BE SURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
The appliance must be placed in its final operational position and
leveled front-to-back and side-to-side, with a spirit level, prior to
beginning the gas piping installation. Re-check the level of the unit
at the conclusion of the gas piping installation.
Each gas appliance is supplied with a separate gas pressure
regulator, which must be installed on the manifold pipe protruding from
the rear of the griddle. Ensure that the regulator is installed such
that the flow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward
the griddle. Failure to properly install the supplied regulator will result
in an extremely hazardous condition.
A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a tee, 4” nipple pointing down,
and cap must be installed upstream of the gas pressure regulator.
A manual gas shut-off valve may be required by local codes and
is, in any case, strongly recommended. The shut-off valve must
be installed between the gas supply piping and the gas pressure
regulator.
It is the responsibility of the gas piping installer to identify the code
requirement for a shut-off valve.
Shut-off valves, moisture trap and all associated piping must be
supplied by the gas piping installer.
DANGER:
FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
HAZARD
NEVER use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Fire and
explosion may result.
IMPORTANT:
All pipe joints must be checked
for leaks before lighting. Leak
checks should be performed
with a soap and water solution.
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
This appliance is supplied
with a gas pressure regulator.
Failure to properly install the
supplied regulator will result
in an extremely hazardous
condition.
Flow arrow stamped on body
of regulator must point toward
the griddle.
Vent hole must point UP.
IMPORTANT:
Verify fuel gas type. If the
available fuel does not match
the nameplate specification,
exchange the appliance for the
correct type.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance and its
individual manual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from
supply system piping during
any pressure testing of that
system at pressures in excess
of 1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).
Also, the appliance 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 at test
pressures equal to or less than
1/2 p.s.i. (3.5 kPa).

Gas pressure regulator is factory set.
SET PILOT FLAME:
Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel.
Remove grates.
The pilot adjustments are near the control valve for each set of
burners.
Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to
decrease the flame size, or counter-clockwise to increase the flame
size.
Adjust the pilot flame to 1/4” high. Test for operation: all sections
of the burner must light without undue delay. Drafty conditions may
require a higher flame to allow the pilot to remain lit.
Replace the grates, front panel and all knobs before returning the
unit to service.
ADJUST BURNER FLAME:
Remove all burner control knobs, then remove the front panel.
Remove grates and radiants.
Turn an individual burner on.
Loosen the locking screw on the shutter.
Turn the shutter to admit more or less air as required. Adjust the
air shutter until the flame is mostly blue in color.
Tighten the locking screw when finished. Replace tall grates and
radiants, the front panel and all knobs before returning the unit to
service.

OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the charbroiler operation on the
specification sheet.
Do NOT use this appliance if it has been submerged in water. Call a
qualified technician to examine the appliance and to service or replace
any component which has been submerged. Burners which have
been allowed to become wet must be thoroughly dried before use.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use
tools to turn the control knob. If the knob will not turn by hand, DO
NOT attempt to force or repair it. Contact your Authorized Wells
Service Agency for repairs. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.
Make sure burners, pilot burner and drip tray are properly installed
before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT FLAME
Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell near floor level because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the floor.
For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it
may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The pilot light must be lighted by hand:
Remove grates. Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position.
Wait 5 minutes.
The pilot is located adjacent to the burner, and is accessible from
the top of the unit.
Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had time
for the air to be purged from the lines. Attempt to light the pilot every
15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.
Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter.
DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.
Reinstall grates
SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
Turn all pilots OFF.
Turn the main gas supply OFF.
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
¤ DO NOT try to light any
appliance.
¤ DO NOT touch any
electrical switch
¤ DO NOT use any
telephone in your building.
In the event a gas odor is
detected, shut down the unit at
the main gas shutoff valve and
contact your local gas supplier
from a neighboring location.
Follow the instructions
received from the gas supplier
immediately and exactly.

OPERATION
Inspect the unit for cleanliness before use. Clean as necessary: See
Cleaning Instructions, page 10.
Be sure the pilot light is lit before operation. See Lighting the Pilot
Light, page 8.
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use
tools to turn the control knob.
The control used in this gas griddle provides a continuous range of
settings from OFF to ON.
Light the burner by turning the control knob to the ON position until fire
forms completely in all sections of the burner. Set the control knob to
the desired position. The setting can be readjusted at any time.
Cooking Recommendations:
Save energy by turning the temperature control knob OFF any time the
griddle is not in use. Gas burners provide full heat instantly, making it
unnecessary to leave the unit on during intermittent use.
To decrease the amount of grease contacting the radiants, the grate
may be raised. Invert the grate so that the rear grate hooks are at the
bottom and the grate sits at a slight angle.

If necessary, reflectors may be removed from burners for cleaning by
removing the retaining wire. Cleaned with a plastic scouring pad and
mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling on burners.
