INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
This griddle has been manufactured for use with the type of gas indicated on the
data plate. Contact AccuTemp Products Technical & Customer Support Department if
your gas supply does not match the gas indicated on the griddle data plate.
All gas connectors must be in accordance with local codes and must comply with the
latest edition of the National Fuel Federal Gas Codes, ANSI Z223.1 .
This griddle should have a separate gas shutoff valve (not supplied) installed in the
gas supply line. Use a ½” or larger diameter gas supply line to connect this griddle to
the facility supply manifold to ensure a sufficient volume of gas. The facility supply
regulator and manifold must be sized according to the load of all appliances connected
to it. If other gas appliances are connected to the supply manifold, their gas load must
be added to the calculations for properly sizing the supply manifold and regulator.
Note: Flexible residential appliance connection hoses are not suitable for this appliance
and may void the warranty.
If your griddle installation location is at an altitude of 4000 feet or higher, the
orifices must be changed to allow appropriate gas supply to the burners. An altitude
chart for natural and propane gases is located after the Service and Troubleshooting
section of this manual. Please contact the AccuTemp Technical & Customer Support
Department for assistance if the orifices need to be changed due to altitude.
This griddle has been supplied with internal gas regulators that have been factory
set for the gas type and pressures listed on the griddle data plate. An external regulator
should not be used unless the supply gas pressure is more than 0.5 psig. The external
regulator must be rated at least 125% of the griddle BTUH rate at the pressure higher
than the rated regulated pressure (for example, a 36” gas griddle is rated at 70,000
BTUH at 5” W.C. for natural gas).
