DANGER:  
FIRE AND  
EXPLOSION  
HAZARD  
NEVER use an open flame to  
check for gas leaks. Fire and  
explosion may result.  
IMPORTANT:  
All pipe joints must be checked  
for leaks before lighting. Leak  
checks should be performed  
with a soap and water solution.  
WARNING:  
FIRE HAZARD  
This griddle is supplied with a  
gas pressure regulator.  
Failure to properly install the  
supplied regulator will result in  
an extremely hazardous  
condition.  
Flow arrow stamped on body  
of regulator must point toward  
the griddle.  
Regulator adjusting screw and  
vent hole must point UP.  
IMPORTANT:  
Verify fuel gas type. If the  
available fuel does not match  
the nameplate specification,  
exchange the griddle for the  
correct type. DO NOT attempt  
to modify a unit in the field to  
accept a different fuel.  
IMPORTANT:  
Avoid damage to the regulator:  
if the gas supply piping system  
is pressure tested at pressures  
exceeding 1/2 psig (3.45kPa) ,  
the griddle must be isolated or  
disconnected from the gas pip-  
ing system for the duration of  
the test.

IMPORTANT:  
PRESSURE TESTING MUST  
BE PERFORMED BY A  
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN  
ONLY.  
NOTE: The maximum inlet  
pressure from the supply  
piping must not exceed ½ p.s.i  
(14” W.C.) Pressure above this  
limit will damage the regulator  
and gas valves.  
Port for measuring outlet gas  
pressure is located on the  
manifold. Remove the grease  
drawer to gain access.  
Remove the allen head plug  
sealing the test port, then  
connect the hose of a water  
column gauge.  
Be sure to reinstall the allen  
head plug at the conclusion of  
testing.
