Gas Connection

⚠️ WARNING Fire Hazard. Correct installation precautions, procedures and regulations must be followed. Operation and safety training is necessary for all users of this equipment.

The equipment must be installed by qualified personnel only. Correct installation precautions, procedures and regulations must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire. Hood and fire suppression systems must be maintained per manufacturer's guidelines. Only qualified and trained personnel are to use this equipment.

1. The data plate on rear or side of the Stock Pot Stove indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.
2. NOTE: Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
3. Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
4. Codes require that a gas shut-off valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the Stock Pot Stove. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ¾" iron pipe.
5. A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside of the broiler when making the gas supply connection. Standard orifices are set for 5" W.C. for Natural Gas / 10" W.C. for Propane. Use the 1/8" pipe tap on the burner manifold for checking pressure. Make sure the gas piping is clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
6. An adequate gas supply is necessary. Undersized or low-pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A minimum supply pressure of 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should not show any appreciable drop.
7. When testing the gas supply piping system, if test pressures exceed ½ psig (3.45 k Pa), the Stock Pot Stove and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are ½ psig (3.45 k Pa) or less, the Stock Pot Stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual, manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the system.

⚠️ WARNING DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. Check all gas piping for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating unit.

Lighting and Operation

Lighting Instructions

NOTE: PLEASE CHECK LEAKAGE BEFORE RE-INSTALLING THE CONTROL-PANEL.

LIGHTING PILOT

The pilot light on the appliance has been set at the factory. A screwdriver may be required for the first lighting to adjust the flame for your elevation.

1. Turn off the manual valve and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn all knobs to the "OFF" position.
3. Hold an ignition source (e.g: a lit match) at the pilot (Fig.9). When the flame is established, remove the ignition source. If necessary, adjust pilot flame height by turning pilot valve screw (Fig.10).
4. Turn the burner knobs to "ON". If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more. If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot flame should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the knobs are turned to "ON".

Fig.9: Diagram illustrating the layout of the pilot light, inner burner, and outer burner.

Fig.10: Diagram showing the location of the pilot valve adjustment screw.

LIGHTING MAIN BURNER

To light burner, turn knob to “ON”. Then back off to the desired flame level. The range of adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and “OFF”.

MAIN BURNER AIR SUPPLY

1. For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained, which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.
2. Loosen the screws on the front of the burner and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips of the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.

CAUTION • ATTENTION

NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOVE A GRILL SECTION WHILE COOKING. An unexpected flare could cause severe injury. Turn off the unit, let it cool and use potholders and/or gloves to reposition or remove.

The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.

All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that is required to put the unit in service.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit's sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.

It is also necessary that sufficient air be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and causing undesirable working conditions.

A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.

All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. This must be done by an authorized service representative in your area.

Operation

Before operating the Stock Pot Stove, check that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet at bottom to straighten and level the unit.

NOTE: Upon first use, the Stock Pot Stove can produce a metal-burning smell. This is normal and the smell will decrease with use.

? WARNING The Stock Pot Stove and parts get very hot. Use caution when operating, cleaning or servicing the unit. Burn Hazard. When in operation, the appliance will be hot. Please take extreme caution. USE CAUTION WHEN TOUCHING THE UNIT.

CONTROLS

The burner is in two sections, controlled by two heavy-duty infinite control valves: the center "star" section (Fig.9) is on separate burner, with an input of 40,000 BTU/hr, and it is controlled by the right burner valve knob.; the outer circle of the burner (Fig.9) is the other separate 40,000 BTU/hr input burner, controlled by the left burner valve knob.

These two separate burners provide heat flexibility. With one burner is off and the second burner set to low, or both burners are fully on, heating can adjust from a low simmer up to 80,000 BTU/hr input.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

⚠️ CAUTION Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners could scratch the finish of your unit, marring its appearance and making it susceptible to dirt accumulation. Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, iodine, ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and glass material and shorten the life of the unit.

INITIAL CLEANING

Prior to operation, wash the grate and unit exterior with a mild detergent or soap solution. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS. If the stainless steel surfaces become discolored, rub clean only in the direction of the finished grain.

DAILY CLEANING

1. Always turn unit off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Clean thoroughly before first use.
2. After each use, thoroughly clean back, sides, top and front of unit.
3. Clean trivets daily.
4. Empty and clean grease tray daily.

WEEKLY

1. Clean unit thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
2. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean. Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then either brush with a wire brush or clean gas ports with a sharp-pointed metal instrument to ensure open ports.

⚠️ CAUTION Clean the regulator at least once a month. Make sure the vent opening is open and not blocked in any way. Failure to do so will cause variations in pressure. Your unit will not function as well and it could shorten the life of the product.
