Leveling
Appliances can be leveled with provided 6" high adjustable legs or in curb or platform
installations (with the legs/casters removed) using 5/8-11 leveling bolts. Attachment
points are located inside the body of the unit at the front and rear of the control box area
and inside the combustion area bottom on the right side of the inner body.
Adjust leveling legs or leveling bolts in base plate until the appliance is level left to right
and front to back. Re-check and re-level in both directions until the appliance is level in
all directions.
Gas Line and Regulator Installation
A gas pressure regulator is required for all installations. For single appliance
installations, a 3/4" regulator is supplied. Other size regulators are available as options
for larger pipe diameters. In all cases, the feed line should never be smaller than the
inlet pipe of the unit. For proper operation, the gas regulator should be installed
horizontally, in a accessible cool zone and protected from grease and debris. Install the
gas line with an individual shutoff valve for servicing and code requirements.
NOTE: In battery installations where a main gas feed is branched to multiple
appliances, pipe size and gas regulator should be calculated to provide a flow rate
sufficient for all burners on all appliances to operate simultaneously.
CAUTION: Do not use domestic flexible gas lines to install this product!
NOTE: Use a pipe joint compound that has been approved for use with liquefied
petroleum gases.
Gas Line Pressure Testing
If the gas system is pressure tested at any pressure equal to or greater than ½ psig (14"
WC/ 3.45 kPa), the appliance must be isolated from the system by closing the gas
shutoff valve. In Battery or Waldorf installations, each appliance must have its shutoff
valve closed.
GAS LEAK TEST
WARNING: Test all pipe joints for leaks before operating this appliance. This
includes all gas connections that may have loosened during shipment. Do not use
the appliance if any leaks are detected.
After gas connections are compete and tightened, use an approved liquid leak detector
or combination of liquid soap and water in a spray bottle to test all installed fittings.
Check for the smallest bubbles that can indicate a leak. Correct all leaks before
operation of the appliance.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, BODILY HARM, OR DEATH. Do not use an
open flame to check for leaks!
