INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

During transportation, the cooking equipment should be carefully handled. DO NOT place it upside down. The equipment should be stored in a well ventilated warehouse away from corrosive gas. If it needs to be stored outside temporarily, make sure it does not come in contact with rain.

INSTALLATION NOTE

Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) matches the specifications on the data plate, which is located on the back or side of the appliance. Make sure the device is configured for the proper elevation.

Record your model and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided below. This information can be found on the data plate.

Model No: ____ Serial No: ____

1. Installation should be performed by certified technicians.
2. Connection of the device should conform to provisions of gas safety, installation and usage.
3. Installation from the outlet end of the gas flow meter or service regulator to the gas pipe of the device should be performed by trained professional technicians. They should also test the cooking equipment first and make any adjustments.
4. The device can be used only when four legs are installed correctly.
5. This appliance should be installed on a stable, level and non-combustible surface (e.g. cement, ceramic tile, terrazzo or metal surface). Verify all local regulations. Make sure to leave clearance for proper ventilation.
6. The appliance should have a minimum clearance of 0" (0cm) from non-combustible substance (e.g. walls, windows etc.), and 4"(10 cm) from combustible materials.
7. The installation should allow for proper air flow for combustion and should not block exhaust and ventilation.
8. Make sure the exhaust does not interfere with the air intake of the device.
9. After installation, level the device and keep stable. DO NOT move or tilt the device during operation.
10. Make sure that the gas supplied to the unit is the same as what the device is designed to use. If not, DO NOT use.
11. According to local requirement standards and strong recommendation of the manufacturer, a gas shut-off valve may be needed between the gas supply pipeline and gas-pressure regulator. Whether the installation of a gas shut-off valve has any local requirements should be judged by the gas installation professional.
12. Coat some dedicated pipe sealant for gas pipeline in all the pipe joints. The sealant should be rated for use with and resistant to the action of gas.
13. The gas pressure should be set according to the type and pressure listed on the rating label. If the gas supply pressure is 10% higher or lower than the rated pressure, please install a pressure regulator to adjust the gas pressure.
14. 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).

15. DO NOT block or interfere with the ventilation needed during normal operation.

16. Verify the gas type and pressure, and make sure that they conform to those marked on the rating label. If incorrect gas type/pressure is connected, it may affect the performance of the device and create safety hazards.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING BEFORE USE

New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process. Before any food preparation, thoroughly wipe protective oil from all surface parts with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.

▲ NOTE: DO NOT use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
NOTE: Wash any accessories shipped with unit.
▲ NOTE: Rinse accessories thoroughly.

2. Make sure the control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Open the main gas supply valve.
4. Using a long match or grill lighter, light the pilots located just to the rear of each burner (see illustration).

⚠ WARNING: ALWAYS light the pilots immediately after opening main gas supply valve.

1. Turn the burner control knobs counter-clockwise to turn on and control the burners. 90° is fully open.

2. When finished, turn the control knobs clockwise to the "OFF" position.

3. When done using, close the main gas supply valve.

▲ NOTE: ALWAYS be sure to turn burners OFF when not in use.

▲ NOTE: There may be some smoke at the initial startup as the result of rust prevention coatings burning off. This is normal. Please allow at least a 15 minute burn in period before using for the first time.

Before operation, please read the user's manual carefully. If the appliance has been immersed in water, please stop using and call the technicians to check and repair or replace all the components that are immersed in the water. Before using this appliance, please make sure that the main burner, pilot light burner and oil receiver are in correct installation.

1. Before igniting the pilot light, ensure there is no gas odor around the device. When first using or after cutting off the gas supply, it may take several minutes to ignite the pilot light due to the air existing in the pipeline or clearance of the inlet pipe.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit from the top. Hold an ignition source and light the pilot. When the flame is stable, remove ignition source.
5. Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.

NOTE: Control knobs of the burners can be operated manually only. DO NOT rotate it with tools. If it cannot be rotated manually, DO NOT rotate or repair it with force. Force or improper maintenance may cause fire or explosion.

NOTE: There may be some smoke at the initial startup as the result of rust prevention coatings burning off. This is normal. Please allow at least a 15 minute burn in period before using for the first time.

DAILY INSPECTION

It is necessary to check the cooking equipment daily to avoid serious accidents. Stop using if user feels that there are some problems in the circuit or machine. Check the condition of the machine before or after using every day. Before using, make sure the cooking equipment is not tilted and that the control panel is intact. While using, ensure there are no strange smells, light back, flameouts or vibrating noises and that the burner flame is normal.

ADJUSTING THE PILOT LIGHT

The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot flames as small as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is.

NOTE: There may be some smoke at the initial startup as the result of rust prevention coatings burning off. This is normal. Please allow at least a 15 minute burn in period before using for the first time.

ADJUSTING THE BURNER FLAME

1. Remove all the control knobs, front panel, grates, and the heat radiant panel.
2. Turn on a single burner and unscrew the lock screw on the baffle.
3. Rotate the baffle to increase or reduce the ventilation volume according to the requirement.
4. Regulate the air baffle to make majority of the flame become blue. Then screw the lock screw tightly.
5. Before using, install the grate, front panel, heat radiant panel and all the knobs back.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE INSPECTION

Before using, make sure that the device is level and there is no visible damage. Check for any odors or vibrations, and that the burner flames are normal. If any problems are noted, stop using and have service done on the appliance.
