Artisan A division of Superior Equipment Solutions, Inc. TM 3020914 7039 East Slauson Avenue Commerce, CA. 90040 Ph.: (888) 383-8800 Fax: (323) 726-4700 Web: GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: WARNING FLAMMABLE GAS DISCONNECT ALL PROPANE OR NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES T O T H IS U N IT BE F O R E SERVICING WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. When properly cared for, your ARTISAN™ side burner will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the appliance produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential.
INSECT WARNING: • Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and other appliances, adversely effecting the gas flow to the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the appliance, making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the unit at least twice a year. • Be sure that the appliance is turned off and cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance.
GAS CONNECTION - LIQUID PROPANE (LP), continued. NOTE: THIS APPLIES TO LP MODELS ONLY. LP MODELS HAVE THE LETTERS “LP” IN THE MODEL NUMBER. NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the unit is fitted for LP gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1988.
GAS CONNECTION - NATURAL GAS (NG): NOTE: THIS APPLIES TO NATURAL GAS MODELS ONLY. FOR LP MODELS, SEE PAGE 6. NEVER CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the unit is fitted for natural gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a1988.
LEAK TESTING: GENERAL: Although all gas connections on your ARTISAN™ appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected. BEFORE TESTING: • Make sure that all packing material is removed from the appliance.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE: Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its ability to resist corrosion and its ease of cleaning. In fact, stainless steel ranks alongside glass and new china in terms of “ease of cleaning” and in percentage removal of bacteria during washing. As a result of these virtues, the metal is often taken for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage.
Bleaches: Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use.
LOW / INSUFFICIENT HEAT: Check the gas supply for a damaged and/or kinked supply line. Replace if necessary. On LP units, a mostly empty tank may not have sufficient pressure to run the appliance at high heat. Replace with a full tank. Check the gas supply pressure to ensure at least 7” W.C. for NG and 11” W.C. for LP. If gas supply is adequate, check burner for blockages. Check flame characteristics according to the illustration shown below.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT CLEANING AND STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS: In order to maintain your appliance in clean working order, it will be necessary, under certain conditions, to take additional precautions. If your appliance is located in a coastal area, it will be exposed to salty air which is corrosive.
