INSTALLING OVERLAPPING GRIDDLE TOP
1. Bolt ranges together and level per instructions in this manual.
2. Remove chrome bull noses from ranges receiving overlapping griddle tops. Bull noses are held
by bolts on the bottom side.
3. MANUAL CONTROLS ONLY — Set griddle tops in place and level with bolts located under the
griddle top in both rear corners. Should you desire griddle plate to slope forward, adjust
accordingly. Make sure hole in front gutter fits into cast iron drain in range. Reinstall bull noses.
4.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL ONLY — Set griddle top in place and support front with 4" to 6"
(10
cm to 15 cm) blocks. Insert thermostat probe into smaller of two angles on bottom of griddle
top (bend probe slightly while inserting to hold in place). Slide insulation sleeving around probe
lead up to angle on griddle top. Coil excess lead near thermostat, leaving as little as possible
in burner area. Make sure that thermostat probe lead is not over burner or pilot flame. Remove
supporting blocks and lower griddle top in place.
Level griddle top with bolts located under both rear corners. Should you desire griddle plate to
slope forward, adjust accordingly. Make sure hole in front gutter fits into cast iron drain in range.
Reinstall bull noses.
Leveling bolts are provided under each griddle plate at the rear, should you desire griddle plate to slope
forward. Top frame sealing channels are supplied to seal off any space between two or more ranges.
GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to
the action of propane gases.
This appliance must be connected with a gas supply line as large or larger ID (net inside diameter) than
the gas pipe inlet provided on the rear of the appliance. Connect gas supply to the range(s). Make sure
the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range(s).
Ranges manufactured for use with propane gas are equipped with fixed orifices.
A gas pressure regulator must be furnished by the installer or plumber at the time of installation. The
regulator must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency. These appliances are rated at the
following pressure: Natural Gas - 5" W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa); Propane Gas - 10" W.C. (2.49 kPa).
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
