For your safety, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other appliance.

Instructions to be followed in the event that the operator of this appliance smells gas must be posted in a prominent location. This information shall be obtained by consulting the local gas supplier.

Do not attempt to operate this unit in the event of failure.

The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion ventilation air.

Supply gas through 1/2 pipe with pressure of approx. 7″ W.C. For propane use 11″ W.C. pressure. A gas shut-off valve must be installed in supply piping convenient and adjacent to appliance.

Unless otherwise specified, Field Wire Electrical Connection to be 120 Volts, 60 Hertz single phase with grounding wire.

Gas installation must conform to local codes or in absence of local codes to national fuel gas code — ANSI 2223.1 — latest edition. In Canada, installation to be in accordance with CAN/CGA 8149.1 (NAT) or B149.2 (LP) installation codes and/or local codes.

The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the national electric code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition. In Canada installation must be in accordance with the C.S-A. C22.1 Canadian electrical code, part 1.

1. Ideally an exhaust system should be located directly above the appliance to exhaust combustion gases generated by the unit.

2. Appliance is intended for use on non combustible floors. Minimum clearance from combustible and noncombustible floor construction, 3″ (76mm) on-sides and 6″ (152mm) from back.

3. Set the appliance in place and level using spirit level.

4. Mark hole locations on floor through anchoring holes provided in flanged adjustable feet.

5. Remove appliance and drill holes in locations marked on floor and insert proper anchoring devices.

6. Set unit back in position and re-level left to right and front to back.

7. Bolt and anchor appliance securely to the floor.

8. Seal bolts and flanged feet with silastic or equivalent compound.

9. Appliance location must allow air supply to unit and obstruction free clearance for air opening in to the combustion chamber.

10. Make service connections as indicated.

1. Open manual gas shut off valve located near back under left hand console facing front of unit.

2. Ensure skillet pan is in the down position.

3. Turn power switch ON, set thermostat dial to desired setting. RED pilot light will come ON.

4. This will turn on electronic ignition. When the glow coil has reached temperature, the gas solenoid valve will open supplying gas to the runner tube and burners. GREEN pilot light will come ON.

5. Gas in the main burner is ignited by the glow coil which then ignites the runner tube and carries a flame to the other burners.

6. When ignition is complete, the flame sensor signals the controller to shut off the glow coil.

7. When the skillet has reached set temperature, the pilot lights will go off and the burners will shut off. The unit will cycle “ON” and “OFF” to maintain set temperature.

8. Turn power “OFF” and thermostat “OFF” when skillet not in use.

Notice: If gas supply is interrupted during operation, a 5 minute period of complete shut off of gas supply is required before restarting.

1. Lift lid.

2. Turn handwheel clockwise to desired position.

Note: When the pan is tilted a safety switch will automatically turn off gas supply. The skillet will not operate once the pan has been tilted.

3. To return pan to down position, turn handwheel counter clockwise.

4. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TILT PAN WITH LID DOWN.

Notice: As a safety precaution, disconnect the power supply during cleaning or servicing. The gas fired tilting skillet should be cleaned after each use.

1. Keep exposed cleanable areas of unit clean at all times.

2. Thoroughly wash pan and lid. If necessary soak pan to remove product that is stuck to pan surface. Use mild detergent and water.

3. Clean around burner air mixer and orifice if lint has accumulated.

4. Visually assure carry-over ports are unobstructed.

5. Rinse entire unit and dry. Do not get water in electrical box or any electrical component.

WARNING: AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR HAVE AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON CLEAN AND ADJUST THE UNIT FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.

All units are adjusted at the factory. In case of problems in operation at initial installation, check type of gas and manifold pressure and compare it with information on rating plate.

1. Check if gas supply to unit is “OFF”.

2. Check if manual shut off valve is “OFF”.

3. Check if thermostat is not turned “ON”.

4. Check if pan is not in the lowest position.

5. Check if glow coil is not functioning.

1. Wrong size orifices.

2. Burner air not adjusted properly.

3. Wrong gas supply.

4. Incorrect pressure at supply.
