All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are
not obstructed. Provisions for an adequate air supply must also be provided. Do not obstruct
the lower front or right side of the unit, as combustion air enters through these areas. The
bottom of the control area must also remain obstructed.
2.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)
TO INSTALL
1) Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden freight damage to the freight company immediately.
2) Set the unit in place. Be certain to maintain minimum clearances as stated above.
3) To level the unit use a spirit level in all directions on the top of the kettle (lid up).
a.) Units with legs - adjust the bottom foot on each leg to overcome an uneven floor.
b.) Units with casters - loosen the locking nuts, turn casters in or out as required and tighten
locking nuts.
4) Be certain to leave adequate clearances for cleaning, maintenance and service.
5) The pressure relief valve is located at the left rear of the unit. This area should be kept
clear and should not be in an area where operators will normally stand. The elbow on the
relief valve should be turned toward the floor. A maximum 3 foot, 3/4" diameter pipe may be
used to extend to the floor, but must not be piped directly to a drain. It must vent to the
atmosphere.
6) Check the pressure gauge on the front panel before operating. If the pressure gauge does
not indicate green vacuum zone (below 0 psi), see “Re-establishing Vacuum” section under
SERVICE, after completing installation instructions.
GAS CONNECTION
WARNING: Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply
until after the gas connection has been made.
WARNING: The pipe thread compound used when installing pipes
must be a type that is resistant to the action of liquified petroleum or
propane gases.
