GAS SUPPLY

The Serial Plate is located on the interior side of the upper front panel (see Figure 1 on p age 3). I t indica tes
the type of gas (propane or natural gas) the griddle is eq uipped to burn. All Southbend equipment is
adjusted at the factory. Check type of gas on serial plate.
This appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of g as for which it is configured.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or lo w pressure lines will restrict th e volume of gas
required for satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of m or e than 25 % on nat ur al gas or 10% on propa ne gas
will create problems and affect burner operating character istics. A 1/8” pressure tap is locate d on the
manifold to measure the manifold pressure.
No segment of the gas supply line to the griddle should be sm aller than the inside diameter of the inlet
connector of the griddle (3/4" NPT).
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreig n matter before connecting the line to the griddle.
All pipe joints and connections must be tested thoroughly for gas leaks . Use onl y soapy water for testing on
all gases. NEVER use an open flame to check for gas leaks. All connections m ust be checked for leak s
after the griddle has been put into operation. Test press ure should not exceed 14” W.C.
