LEVELING
It is important that the charbroiler is level front to back and left to right. Areas of uneven
heat distribution will occur on an unleveled unit. The charbroiler is equipped with
adjustable legs. Turn the feet at the bottom of the legs to adjust to level. The unit should
be rechecked for level anytime it has been moved.
VENTILATION HOOD
The broiler should be installed under a suitable ventilation hood. For safe operation and
proper ventilation, keep the space between the charbroiler and vent hood free from any
obstructions.
GAS CONNECTION
The data plate on the lower right side of the charbroiler indicates the type of gas your unit
is equipped to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be
resistant to the action of propane.
Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or any foreign matter before connecting
the line to the unit.
Codes require that a gas shut-off valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the
charbroiler. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ¾” iron pipe.
A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside of the broiler when making
the gas supply connection. Standard orifices are set for 5"WC (Water Column) for
Natural Gas — 10"WC (Water Column) for Propane. Use the
1

” pipe tap on the burner
manifold for checking pressure. Make sure the gas piping is clean and free of
obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
An adequate gas supply is necessary. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the
volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A minimum supply pressure of 7"
W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units
operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should not show any
appreciable drop.
When testing the gas supply piping system, if test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 kPa),
the charbroiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system. When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the charbroiler must
be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the system.
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.
