BEFORE INSTALLATION

Installation of this device should be performed by professional technicians
Installation of this unit should conform to provisions of gas safety, installation and usage

Check that electrical (if needed) and gas supply agree with the specifications on the rating plate located inside the kick panel of the unit. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer immediately.
Unit must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed, ensuring that there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow proper combustion of gas at the burners.

This device should be kept a minimum clearance of 12” from combustible construction at the sides and 10” at the rear. Clearance from non-combustible construction is 0”sides and 6”at the back. Do not install on a flammable floor or around other combustible objects.
This item is intended to sit on a solid and level floor INSTALLATION:
The installation of this equipment must conform with local codes, or with the National Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54, or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.
The equipment and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The equipment must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Clearance and positioning around the equipment:
- This equipment must be installed adjacent to non-combustible surfaces only with a minimum spacing of 6” from all sides. This equipment must be a distance of 6” from other equipment. The equipment must have the 4” legs installed and be placed on a non-combustible surface.
- For an oven equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69/CSA 6.16 and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.4/CSA 6.9. When installing the oven with casters and quick-disconnect hose, adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the oven without depending on the connector and the quick disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the oven movement. Restraining means may be attached to the vertical portion of the base frame in the rear of the oven.
- Air Supply and ventilation:
- The area in front and around the equipment must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
- Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times in front of and at the sides of the equipment for servicing and proper ventilation.

TO INSTALL

Level the device with a level gauge. The height can be adjusted by the adjustable feet. Unit should not sway or tilt during operation. Units that are not level will experience operational problems.
The mounting position should be well-ventilated with a proper hood exhaust system.
Codes require that a gas shut off valve should be installed upstream the device where it is easily reached during operation.
Make sure you are using the correct gas supply that is specified for this model. If the gas supply is not intended for this model, do not proceed with installation.
This unit is applicable to low pressure regulating valves only. High pressure regulating valves and medium pressure regulating valves are not to be used.

Check to make sure the connection pipe to the unit has no leaks and that all connections and pipe joint compound used are resistant to the action of propane gasses
A pressure regulator must be installed with this unit. Ensure that the regulator type is in agreement with the rating plate gas supply. Regulator must be upright after installation. If regulator is not level during operation, performance problems may result
After connecting the appliance to the gas system, check for leaks at joints and pipe fittings; to do so, use soapy water or a specific leak detector(spray).

Check the gas supply pressure after installation.
Gas supply pressure can be measured with a liquid-filled pressure gauge (e.g. a U shaped pressure gauge, minimum scale division 0.1 mbar)or a digital gauge. Procedure as follows:
- Ensure gas is turned off
- Remove the panel and unscrew the screw on the pressure port
- Place the pressure gauge
- Start up the appliance by following the instructions in this owner’s manual
- Check supply pressure. Pressure must agree with rating plate requirement when the unit is in full operation
- After the check, turn off gas and remove the pressure gauge
- Replace the sealing screw
- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTROLS
- When turning on for the first time please be advised that it might take a little longer to ignite due to the air existing in the pipe. BURNERS
- Turn on the gas supply and ignite the pilot flame with a lighter. If the unit hasn’t been used in a while or if this is the first lighting,
- ignition might take a little longer (about two or three minutes).
- Press the corresponding valve knob of the burner and turn 90 degrees counterclockwise. The burner will be ignited and the flame will be at Max. To set the flame to Min, rotate counterclockwise another 90 degrees.
- When finished turn off the main burner by rotating the knob clockwise to the off position. The Pilot should remain lit.
- For complete shutdown, ensure that all burner knobs are turned to the off position, and then turn main gas supply off

CLEANING

NOTE:
It is important to check the machine daily. Checking the machine regularly can avoid serious accidents. Stop using
if the user feels that there are some problems with the unit. Check the condition of the machine before and after using it every day.

Before cleaning, turn off all gas valves.
Please clean the burners and drip tray of all debris and spillage daily. A complete cleaning every day will ensure a good service and extend the service life of the unit.

Clean the stainless steel surface with warm soapy water every day and rinse it completely. Do not saturate the range with water, excessive water will cause operational issues. During cleaning, do not clean the stainless steel surface with abrasive detergent, brush or scraper etc. The residual iron scale may cause rusting.
Do not clean the surface with chlorine cleanser (bleach, dish detergent, hydrochloric acid etc.). Do not clean the floor where the unit is located with corrosive substances.
Do not change the burner shutter settings.

Accumulation of substances containing salt or acidic ingredients, e.g. vinegar, lemon juice, spices, salt etc. can cause corrosion. Thus, please do not allow these substances to have long contact with the unit.
After cleaning, ensure that the ports of the burners are open and clear of any residue.
Clean cast iron top grates with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, water-absorbent towel. Immediately after drying, season grates lightly with liquid vegetable oil. After seasoning, replace grates on range and turn burners on LOW, allow grates to heat for 15 minutes before using pots or pans on the range top. Failure to season grates after cleaning will result in rust.

If the unit will sit idle for a significant period of time, please turn off the gas valve upstream of the device.
