SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
NATURAL GAS SAFETY
Your Natural Gas griddle is designed to operate on natural gas ONLY, at a pressure of 4” water column (W.C.) regulated at the natural gas
regulator attached at the back of the griddle. Check with your gas utility for local gas pressure and with your local municipality for building code
requirements.
Check with your gas utility or with local building codes for instructions to install gas supply line, or call a licensed and knowledgeable installer.
It is recommended that an “ON-OFF” shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source:
- Outdoors after gas line piping exits outside wall or before gas line piping enters ground.
- Indoors in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe thread. Apply
compound or tape to at least the first three threads when making the connection.
Disconnect your gas griddle from fuel source when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This appliance and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Turn off your gas griddle when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual valve.
WARNING: Gas valves are preset at the factory to operate on LP or natural gas. If you wish to convert to a different gas type, be sure to contact
your griddle dealer, licensed plumber or authorized service center for further details. Conversion kits are not sold to the general public and require
a professional to perform service. Failure to properly convert a unit can cause serious injury to yourself and/or others, irreparable damage to your
griddle and void of warranty.

SAFETY! BEWARE OF SPIDERS
CAUTION: BURNERS MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST USE.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during warehousing, transit and/or after long periods of non-use.
These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-
BACK” and can cause serious damage to your griddle and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube
is not the only cause of “FLASH BACK” it is the most common cause, and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burners is necessary.
