Safety Instructions

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USE
THIS APPLIANCE IS ONLY FOR PROFESSIONAL USE AND MUST ONLY BE USED BY QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
Attention should be drawn to the fact that parts of this unit by necessity, will get VERY HOT, and will cause burns if touched accidentally. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the supervisor or equivalent to provide SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING for the user.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE FITTED AND TESTED BY A REGISTERED FITTER BEFORE USE.
The unit should be installed in compliance with the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and the NATIONAL REGULATIONS in force at the time. Particular attention should be paid to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
All commercial gas catering equipment is recommended to be mounted below an extraction canopy. Please consult a ventilation engineer or refer to Guidelines DW172 to calculate the ventilation requirements for cooking areas containing different pieces of gas catering equipment.
Each appliance requires a flow of fresh air for combustion. Under no circumstances should air vents on the appliances, or air vents installed by the fitter in the room of the appliance to supply combustion air, be altered or omitted in any way.
To prevent shocks, all appliances whether gas or electric, must be earthed.
To avoid scratching the highly polished exterior surface of this equipment whilst in transit, the protective film on the exterior surfaces has NOT been removed.
It is IMPORTANT that this protective film is peeled off before the equipment is used.

Installation Instructions

ALL APPLIANCES MUST BE FITTED AND OR CONVERTED BY A REGISTERED INSTALLER, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS.

INSTALLATION
All appliances must not be installed on or against any combustible surface. Clearances around appliances must be:

It should be noted that the sides of the appliance will get hot and appliances with components sensitive to heat, should not be placed directly next to the unit.
During installation provision must be provided for combustion air supply to the appliance, which enters the appliance through the base and rear of the appliance, this should not be blocked at any time. SEE TECHNICAL DETAILS.
Appliances are designed to be installed on Parry Catering Equipment for stability, should they be fitted on any other surface they should be suitably secured, to prevent excessive movement.
Connection to the appliance is by ½” BSPT at the rear of the appliance.
The pressure test point is located on the tap rail at the rear of the appliance.
A low rate is a factory set for natural gas.
Remove all protective film before use.
Ensure whoever is operating the appliance is fully conversant with its operation and aware of the dangers involved in incorrect operation and cleaning, especially the dangers of burns or scalds from the cooking medium and hot surfaces of working areas.
These appliances are to be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrates of substances harmful to health in the room in which they are installed.
The chargrill is supplied with a 2Kg bag of lava rock. Parry advises that no more than 2 Kg of lava rock should be used on the unit at any one time. If you overload the chargrill then the heat is trapped below the rocks and it will take longer to cook the food.
Gas hoses used to connect the appliance to the gas supply must be of the correct specification for the gas and pressure of the appliance. The gas hose must comply with the national requirements in force, and be CE marked, of a metal braided construction suitable for commercial catering equipment. The hoses should be periodically examined and replaced as necessary
The tube or hose shall be fitted such that there are no sharp bends or torsional strain which may cause damage or failure of the tube or hose, especially near the end fittings. Torsional strain can be prevented by using internal unions, swivel joints, etc. The bend radius should not exceed that stated by the Manufacturer. The hose should not touch the ground and should be no longer than 1.5m long.
A manual valve should be positioned upstream of the tube or hose unless the connection fitting incorporates a self-sealing quick-release coupling.
Where a quick-release coupling is used for horizontal travel such as in commercial catering appliances it is advisable that the coupling is facing downwards to prevent the ingress of debris and ensure the hose is formed into a smooth curve.
All units should have a restraining cable fitted preventing the unit from being pulled away from the wall and causing the gas hose to become disconnected accidentally
