INSTALLATION

1.Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, back area of the appliance.

2.Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the front of appliance. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the two previously removed fasteners.

3.When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Never allow anything to block the flue opening; this will cause the appliance to over heat and inhibit proper combustion, which could produce dangerous gases.

CAUTION

To prevent equipment damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back.

1.4. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING

When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters). This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The legs/casters must be installed before connecting the appliance to the power supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure.

WARNING

This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.

Required tools: 7/16 “ (12 mm) wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.

1.Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splash back by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.

2.Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.

3.Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use separate lock washers.

WARNING

DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.

4. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, make your height adjustments, then retighten.
