INSTALLATION
This cooker is designed for use in a marine environment and can be used as either a free-
standing appliance or can be mounted on built in gimbals. Used in its free-standing state,
the appliance must be placed on a firm, flat and stable structure and secured as shown in
Fig. 3.
Where the appliance is mounted on gimbals, there must be a minimum space of 50mm
behind the appliance. However, we recommend a space of 205mm behind the appliance,
allowing a 30
° swing when in use at sea. The gimbals should be securely fixed to a
substantial surrounding structure as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
The appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion,
and in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburned gas. When in use ensure
that air vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
Fitting the cooker
1.
Remove the two screws towards the rear top of the cooker.(fig 5)
2. Replace the two screws with the addition of the fiddle rail.(fig 6)
3. Remove the two screws towards the front of the cooker and fit the front fiddle
rail.(fig 7)
4. Insert the pan holders and hold them in place with the pan holder knobs.
5. Inside the grill compartment you will find four small holes in the base. Take the grill
pan cradle with the double bars positioned towards the front and align the legs of
the cradle with the holes in the grill compartment base, then simply push the cradle
into the holes. The cradle is fitted in this way to enable easy access to clean
the grill compartment base.
