DANGER:
FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
HAZARD
NEVER use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Fire and
explosion may result.
IMPORTANT:
All pipe joints must be checked
for leaks before lighting. Leak
checks should be performed
with a soap and water solution.
WARNING:
FIRE HAZARD
This griddle is supplied with a
gas pressure regulator.
Failure to properly install the
supplied regulator will result in
an extremely hazardous
condition.
Flow arrow stamped on body
of regulator must point toward
the griddle.
Regulator adjusting screw and
vent hole must point UP.
IMPORTANT:
Verify fuel gas type. If the
available fuel does not match
the nameplate specification,
exchange the griddle for the
correct type. DO NOT attempt
to modify a unit in the field to
accept a different fuel.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid damage to the regulator:
if the gas supply piping system
is pressure tested at pressures
exceeding 1/2 psig (3.45kPa) ,
the griddle must be isolated or
disconnected from the gas pip-
ing system for the duration of
the test.

IMPORTANT:
PRESSURE TESTING MUST
BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN
ONLY.
NOTE: The maximum inlet
pressure from the supply
piping must not exceed ½ p.s.i
(14” W.C.) Pressure above this
limit will damage the regulator
and gas valves.
Port for measuring outlet gas
pressure is located on the
manifold. Remove the grease
drawer to gain access.
Remove the allen head plug
sealing the test port, then
connect the hose of a water
column gauge.
Be sure to reinstall the allen
head plug at the conclusion of
testing.
