INSTALLATION
6 L20-290 Rev 3 (5/12)
CAUTION
Before proceeding any further, fill the tank with WATER. Water is used for the installation
adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212°F (100°C), thereby allowing plenty of
adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the MIN LEVEL mark stamped on the tank .
a. Ensure that the main gas valve is shut off; remove the manifold pressure tap plug and
connect an accurate pressure gauge having a range from 0 to 16 “ w.c. in 0.1”
increments (0 to 4 kPa in .025 kPa increments) or manometer with similar resolution.
b.
Turn on this and all appliances connected to the
gas supply line and light their main burners. The
pressure reading of the installed pressure gauge
should not drop from the required installation
pressure. Any loss of pressure indicates
inadequate supply line installation, which will
cause poor performance of all appliances during
peak usage.
c. The installed pressure gauge should be the
same, ±0.1” w.c. (.025 kPa), as that marked on
the data plate on the inside door of the appliance.
If the pressure is correct, go to step e, if it is not,
adjust the pressure as outlined in step d.
d. To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator
adjustment screw cap and, with a flat head screwdriver, adjust the regulator screw until the
proper burner pressure is reached. Turning the screw clockwise will increase the burner
pressure. Turning the screw counterclockwise will decrease the burner pressure.
e. When the pressure is correct, replace the regulator adjustment screw cover.
f. Turn off the ALL appliances, shut the main gas valve to your appliance and remove the
pressure gauge. Apply pipe joint compound to the manifold pressure tap plug and reinstall it.
Initial Cleaning
When your appliance is shipped, many of its parts are covered with a thin coat of shortening/oil for protection.
Before the appliance is ready for cooking it must be cleaned. This will remove the shortening/oil coating and any
foreign matter that may have accumulated during storage and shipment. Refer to the following procedure to
clean the appliance.
a. Fill the tank with water. Light the pilot, turn the appliance on and set the thermostat to
200°F (93°C).
b.
Allow the appliance to hear for 15 minutes. Add cleaner to the water, stirring with the cleaning
brush to ensure that the cleaner dissolves thoroughly.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave the appliance unattended during cleaning. Never let the water level go below the
“Min Level” mark stamped on the tank.
c.
Using the cleaning brush, scrub the inside of the tank to remove the protective coating.
d.
When cleaning is complete turn the appliance off and drain the water into a container suitable
for hot water and dispose of it.
