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 without corrosive gas. If it needs to be stored outside temporarily, make sure it does not come in contact with rain.

NOTICE FOR INSTALLMENT

1. Installation should be operated by professional technicians.
2. Connection of the device should conform to provisions of gas safety, installation and usage.
3. The device can be used only when four legs are installed correctly.
4. 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.
5. This appliance should be installed on a stable, level and non-combustible surface (e.g. cement, ceramic tile, terrazzo and metal surface). Verify the requirements of local regulation. Paving metal or ceramic tile onto combustible material does not conform to requirements of non-combustible surface regulation. Please leave appropriate clearance for the ventilation vent in the cabinet to keep the appliance away from the combustible surface nearby.
6. The mounting position should supply sufficient make-up air during normal combustion and installation should not block the burning airflow and ventilation.
7. If the exhaust fan is used, pay special attention to avoid operations that interfere with the device, e.g. ventilation and air demand of the device.
8. After installation, level the device and keep stable. DO NOT sway or tilt the device during operation.
9. DO NOT use gas that is not applicable to this device as fuel, DO NOT use high-pressure or medium-pressure regulating valves. This device is can only be used with a low-pressure regulating valve.
10. A quick-acting switch-off gas valve should be installed upstream to the device where it is easy to reach before installation of the appliance.
11. Make sure the supplied gas is the same as the gas that the device allows to use. If not, please stop using.
12. Coat some dedicated pipe sealant for gas pipeline in all the pipe joints. The sealant used should have durability for the gas action.
13. If the pipeline pressure is 10% higher or lower than the rated pressure, please install a pressure regulator to adjust the gas pressure to reach the rated one.
14. Installation from the outlet end of the gas flow meter or service regulator to the gas pipe of the device should be operated by professional technicians and qualified personnel. They should also use the cooking equipment first and adjust it.
15. DO NOT block the ventilation of the device and interfere with the ventilation needed during normal operation of the burners.
16. 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).

INSTALLATION

1. 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 damage the performance of the device and create safety hazards.
2. Before installing the gas pipeline, please install the appliance in an ultimate-use position. Adjust the height of the appliance on all 4 leveling legs using a water level to make sure the device in a level state. After installing the gas pipeline, check the level state of the device again.
3. According to requirement of local standard 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 the gas shut-off valve has any requirements in the local standard should be judged by the gas installation personnel.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Before first use, and after every cleaning, season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion. Heat the griddle to a low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil, about one ounce per square foot of surface. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire griddle surface to create a thin film and wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror -like finish. This will also help reduce the sticking of cooked food product.

USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, turn the burners on about 20-25 minutes before cooking. A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results. The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by 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 or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the griddle and residue in the oil tray regularly (Twice a day is advised).
2. Every day after using, wipe down all surfaces using a wet cloth with warm soapy water, then wipe down with clean wet cloth. DO NOT spray the device directly with water to wash.
3. DO NOT use abrasive detergents, brushes or scrapers to clean the stainless steel surface, as doing so may cause rust. DO NOT use any chloride product (bleach, hydrochloric acid, etc.), even if diluted. Wipe surface to clean with the direction of the grain.
4. DO NOT modify the necessary air volume for combustion.
5. When not in use, disconnect it from gas source.
6. Have a trained technician do a complete inspection of the device at least once a year.
7. Over 90% of the device is made of metals that can be recycled if disposed of properly at a designated treatment or recycling facility in accordance with any local or state standards.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problems mentioned below are just for reference. If any failure occurs, please stop using immediately and contact a professional technician to check and repair. Safety first! Please cut off the electric and gas source before maintenance.
