GAS CONNECTION

It is very important that the type and inlet pressure of the gas used corresponds to the machine data plate. This machine is equipped with a 1/2” female line for connection of gas. The gas line used should be of the type approved for use with natural gas or propane, depending on the gas selected to be used in this machine. The gas line should be sized to carry the maximum flow of 55,000 BTUs. Too small of a gas line will result in poor performance. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas line, located within an accessible area of the machine. The gas line should be kept as short as possible and installed in a way to protect it from damage.

When making pipe connections, use an AGA approved pipe dope, being careful not to use excessive amounts as to foul the gas valve or clog the gas line. When tightening the gas line always support the gas valve to avoid damage to the gas train.

When making the connection to the booster unit, take care to start the gas line fitting by hand and tighten by hand to avoid cross thread- ing. Tighten fitting with a wrench, taking care not to damage any internal components of the unit.

After making a final connection of gas, with power to the unit turned off, check all gas line fittings for leaks, using a liquid test solution.

WARNING

ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL POWER APPLIED TO THE MACHINE WHEN MAKING GAS CONNECTION.

CHECK ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS PRIOR TO APPLYING POWER.

THE GASES USED FOR COMBUSTION IN THIS DISH MACHINE ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.

DO NOT SMOKE AROUND THIS MACHINE.

ENSURE THAT THE AREA WHERE THIS MACHINE IS TO BE INSTALLED IS WELL-VENTILATED TO PREVENT THE BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTIBLE GASES.

ENSURE THAT ALL LOCAL HEALTH, FIRE, AND BUILDING CODES ARE BEING ADHERED TO WHEN INSTALLING THIS MACHINE. VERIFY WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.

INSTALL A SHUT-OFF VALVE AT THE GAS SOURCE AND SUPPLY THE MACHINE USING A 1/2” LINE. CONNECT TO THE 1/2” NPT FITTING ON THE MACHINE.
