In the United States of America:

1. State and local codes.
2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI/Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA22209.

In Canada:

1. Local codes.
2. CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
3. CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code.
4. CSA C22.2 Canadian Electric Code.

The above are available from the Canadian Standard Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.
ASSEMBLY: Ranges Mounted on Casters

• Ranges mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not supplied by CHEF N’SAVE) 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-Z21.41 • CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate means must be provided to limit movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit appliance movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the range as shown in Fig. 1.
• Remove two screws from the rear of the range and install the tie-down strap shipped with the casters using these screws (Fig. 1). Attach the gas line strain relief to the tie-down strap at the rear of the range (Fig. 1).
• If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the range to its installation position.
• Separate instructions for installing casters to the range are included with the casters.
  Note : If the range is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the range be leveled front to back and side to side.

Backsplash
The standard Restaurant Range is equipped with a 23″ (584 mm) high backsplash and shelf.

1. Remove the backsplash components from the crating materials.
2. Assemble the required components as shown in Fig’s. 2 and 3 and 4.
3. Tighten the four screws to secure the shelf.
4. Lift the assembly up, sliding the channels into the space provided at the rear of the range.(Figs. 5).
5. Install four #10 sheet metal screws (2 to each channel leg) (Fig. 6).

LEVELING

• Check the leveling of the range. Place a level inside the oven cavity across the oven rack(s). Level front-to-back and side-to-side.
• To adjust the leveling, tilt the range to one side and, using channel locks, unscrew the adjustable leg insert as required. Repeat this procedure as necessary for each leg.
• Optional casters for this range are of the non-adjustable type. Therefore, the floor must be level. If the floor surface is not level, the range will experience cooking problems.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION : All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

• Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specified on the rating plate. The installation gas connection is a 3/4″ (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe. Connect gas supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Standard ranges are equipped with fixed burner orifices that coincide with installation elevation. Install the gas pressure regulator.

• Before installing, ensure that the regulator supplied agrees with the rating plate gas supply. The gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside
  the oven cavity. This regulator must be field installed by a qualified installer. Natural gas regulators are preset for 5″ W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane gas regulators for 10.0″ W.C. (2.5 kPa)

  • Locate 3/4″ (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of the range.
  • Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.
  • Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body back (Fig. 7).
  • Using pipe wrench, tighten the regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 7).

The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow. The pressure regulator must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator is installed in any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause the regulator to malfunction.
WARNING : BEFORE 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.
Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve.
The thermocouple should be tightened a 1/4 turn past finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Over-tightening may damage the thermocouple or safety magnet.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig(3.45kPa) or less, the range should be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve until the range is ready for start-up.

FLUE CONNECTIONS

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the range. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18″ (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for the “Removal of Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE.

CONTROLS THERMOSTAT DIAL
Allows operator to regulate oven temperature from low to 500° F (260° C)

(OPTIONAL) GRIDDLE BURNER KNOB
Regulates gas flow to the griddle. To increase heat, turn knob counterclockwise, to decrease heat, turn knob clockwise.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Griddle Seasoning (optional models)
• CAUTION : This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.
• A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the griddle is porous. Food tends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore, it is important to “season” or “fill up” these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning gives the surface a slick, hard finish from which the food will release easily.
• To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil per square foot of surface over the griddle top section. With an insulated cloth, spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with an insulated cloth.
• Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
