1.3. Installation Clearances
Your new MagiKitch’n Griddle needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow
for servicing and proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for installation in combustible
and non-combustible construction. The appliance can be serviced from the front of the unit, however it
may need to be pulled away from the wall for access to the gas supply and electrical supply connections.
Ensure that all clearances stated on the Data plate and in the table below are strictly followed.
1.4. Gas Connection(s)
Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to
provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance
with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with
AS/NZS 5601. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company or, in
North America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas)
and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount
of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas
line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C.
(24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C.
(32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating
simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Supplying incorrect
gas will cause improper operation. Contact your Dealer for another gas type for the appliance.
1.4.1. 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 or printed on the data plate, see Figure 1.
CAUTION
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may
limit proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance.
1.4.2. Quick Disconnect Connection
In North America, 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 Appliances ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. In Australia, an appliance
equipped with casters and a flexible gas line must be connected to the gas supply with a quick disconnect
device that complies with AS 4627 and a restraining cable. The restraining cable must not exceed 80% of
the length of the flexible gas line. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back
panel.
1.4.3. 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 PISG (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar), insure that that appliance is disconnected from
the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa, 34.5
mbar), the appliance can be connected during the test, 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 applied.
1.5. 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. In North America, additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East
