INSTALLATION
Step 6: Check the Installation
1. Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.
2. Move the range into the position at which it will be operated.
3. Check that the range is level. If not, adjust the legs.
4. Check that the appropriate clearances are satisfied (see page 4).
Step 7: Adjust Air Shutters and Pilot Heights
All units are adjusted at the factory. However, burner air shutters and pilot heights should be checked at
installation and adjusted if necessary. On new installations, start with the top burner of the unit(s) furthest
from the gas input to the manifold. This will purge the system of air. Turn main gas supply “ON”.
Step 8: Condition Griddle Surfaces
New griddles should be carefully tempered and cared for in order to avoid possible damage. To break in a
new griddle, first wipe it clean. Next, light all the griddle burners and turn them to low for one hour. Then
gradually bring each griddle up to frying temperature. Next, spread three or four ounces of beef suet, or as a
substitute, baking soda, to season it. Never allow water on a hot griddle and never wash it with soap and
water.
