GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
Location of the gas inlet is at the right rear corner. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas line ahead of the charbroiler.
Connect gas supply to the charbroiler. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions.
The gas supply line must be 3/4" or larger. If flexible or
Natural gas pressure regulators are preset for 5" W.C. (Water Column); propane gas pressure regulators are preset for 10" W.C. A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside the charbroiler when it is connected to the gas supply.
All orifices are of the fixed type and require no adjustments.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the charbroiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the charbroiler should be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the charbroiler. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18" (46 cm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
