Connerton Co CEG SERIES manual Keep equipment area free and clear from combustibles

Keep equipment area free and clear from combustibles.

The area in front of, and above the griddle must be clear to avoid obstruction of flow of combustion and ventilation air. Means must be provided for adequate air supply and adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.

Adequate clearances must be provided in front and sides of the griddle for servicing and proper operation.

It is important that the griddle be installed under an exhaust hood which is adequate to remove the products of combustion and cooking vapors. Sufficient make-up air must also be provided to the space where the griddle is located to replace that removed through the exhaust hood.

3.Gas Piping: Make sure the gas pressure regulator supplied with the griddle is installed correctly. Connect outlet side of regulator to griddle. The regulator is set at 4 inches w.c. on natural gas and 11 inches w.c. on propane gas. A 1/8” pressure tap is provided on the gas manifold at the front of the griddle for checking the gas pressure. Please note: air vent on regulator can plug with grease, thereby shutting gas supply off. Install regulator in drip-free area.

Connect griddle to the gas supply line. Under no circumstances should the gas supply line be smaller than the inlet pipe on the griddle. A gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas supply line upstream of the griddle for complete shutdown and service. Use pipe sealant on all pipe joints. Sealant must be resistant to the action of L.P. gasses.

For proper performance, the griddle must be level. If legs are provided, adjust feet at bottom of legs to level griddle. If legs are not provided, seal the base of the griddle to the countertop with silicone.

If the griddle is supplied with casters, the installation must be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI Z21.69, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the griddle without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the griddle movement. Restraining device should be connected to legs or back of body.

IMPORTANT: Check all gas connections for leaks, using a soap and water solution.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR CHECKING PURPOSES
