WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect
gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of
fuel, contact your dealer.
1.3.1. Fuel Type(s)
Each appliance is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the
appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, see Figure 1.
CAUTION
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may not
allow proper gas flow for the optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooking performance.
1.3.2. Quick Disconnect Connection
Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16 Latest Edition.
This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for
Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel ANSI Z221.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. When
installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the
appliance. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnects from being strained. The
restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.
1.3.3. Fuel Supply Line and Leak Pressure Testing
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be
tested at a pressure greater than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPA), make sure that the appliance is
disconnected from fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½
PSIG (3.45 kPA), the appliance can be connected, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all
gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
1.4. Ventilation And Fire Safety Systems
Your new gas appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas
temperatures can reach as high as 1000°F (538 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety
system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the
ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of reference
documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not necessarily
complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the
burner. Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the appliance’s flue vent opening and the intake
of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening.
Down drafts will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which
may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under
equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation
exiting the appliance flue. DO NOT put anything on the top of the flue area.
CAUTION
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue opening(s). The direct flow of air will cause poor
temperature recovery, poor ignition, and inefficient operation of the appliance and could
extinguish the pilot(s).
1.5. Installation Setup
The installation of this appliance MUST conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, the
installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1; Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1; or Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2 as applicable.
