All appliances should be installed in accordance with BS 6173, Code of practice for installation of gas

catering appliances, taking into account the Gas Safety Regulations as amended by the Gas Safety

(Installation and Use)(Amendment) Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act.

It is mandatory that all appliances are installed and commissioned by a qualified and competent CORGI

personnel may invalidate its warranty.

1.1 VENTILATION

The area in which this equipment is to be installed should have sufficient fixed ventilation to comply with

the requirements of Approved Document J in the 2002 Building Regulations. It is recommended that a

minimum area of 450mm

per 1kWh (3400Btu/hr) of total heat input must be allowed. Particular attention

should be paid to the low-level ventilation to ensure that the appliance has a good supply of clean, fresh

air.

1.2 INSTALLATION POSITION

The unit must be mounted on a work surface or stand, which must have either a metal or open top.

There should be a minimum clearance of 750mm between the top of the appliance and any overlying

shelf or ceiling.

Where the unit is to be free standing, any partitions, walls or kitchen furniture in close proximity (at least

50mm clearance given on all sides) must be of non-combustible materials.

1.3 INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING

To ensure a full understanding of the correct operation of the appliance the following commissioning

checks must be carried out before the appliance is handed over for use.

All operators must know how to light, safely operate and shutdown the appliance.

Although all Lincat griddles are functionally checked during manufacture, commissioning should include

an operational check of all controls.

Ensure that the unit is level.

Before use, remove all protective plastic coating from the unit.

1.4 GAS SUPPLY & CONNECTION

Check that the gas supply corresponds to that specified on the data plate.

Connection is via a 1/2" bspt male thread on the back of the unit. If connection to the supply pipe is via a

flexible hose, ensure that the hose used is suitable for commercial catering appliances. The hose should

be periodically examined and replaced as necessary.

WARNING: Black domestic hoses are not suitable for this appliance.

When making the connection on to the appliance, secure the hexagon on the fitting to prevent rotation of

the internal pipe work. An isolating cock should be fitted into the supply line to the unit for servicing

purposes.
