The area in front of, and above the hot plate must be clear to avoid obstruction of flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Means must be provided for adequate air supply and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber.
Adequate clearances must be provided in front and sides of the hot plate for servicing and proper
operation.
It is important that the hot plate be installed under an exhaust hood which is adequate to remove the
products of combustion and cooking vapors. Sufficient make-up air must also be provided to the
space where the hot plate is located to replace that removed through the exhaust hood.
Make sure the gas pressure regulator supplied with the hot plate is installed correctly.
Connect outlet side of regulator to hot plate. The regulator is set at 4 inches w.c. on natural gas and 11
inches w.c. on propane gas. A 1/8” pressure tap is provided on the gas manifold at the front of the hot
plate for checking the gas pressure.
Connect hot plate to the gas supply line. Under no circumstances should the gas supply line be
smaller than the inlet pipe on the hot plate. A gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas supply line
upstream of the hot plate for complete shutdown and service. Use pipe sealant on all pipe joints.
Sealant must be resistant to the action of L.P. gasses.
For proper performance, the hot plate must be level. If legs are provided, adjust feet at bottom of legs
to level hot plate. If legs are not provided, seal the base of the hot plate to the countertop with silicone.
If the hot plate is supplied with casters, the installation must be made with a connector that complies
with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances
, and a quick-disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,
. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the hot plate without depending
on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the hot plate
movement. Restraining device should be connected to legs or back of body.
Turn all burner valves and lighter valves to “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes.
Turn on lighter valves and light pilots. Adjust flame height to approximately 1/2”.
Turn on burner valves to operate your hot plate.
For complete shutdown, turn off all valves and the gas shutoff valve located upstream of the hot
plate.
To relight, repeat above procedures.
Contact factory, factory representative, or a local service company to perform maintenance and
repairs.
To clean top grates, use warm water and a mild cleanser.
At least once per day, clean and empty drip pan.
Periodically, but not less than once every 3 months, clean burner orifices using warm water and wire
brush. Make sure equipment is cold before removing burners and orifices.
