OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION:
The area in front of, around, and above the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction
of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times
in the front and the sides of the appliance for servicing and proper operation.
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy duty cooking appliance to exhaust combustion
waste products to the outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an exhaust
hood. Filters and drip through should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing through a hood.
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce a slight
vacuum in the room and/or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere with pilot or burner
performance and can also be hard to diagnose. Air movement should be checked during installation;
if pilot or burner outage problems persist, make-up air openings or baffles may have to be
provided in the room.
GAS CONNECTION:
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
Radiance equipment’s use a ¾” NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joint must be resistive to LP gas.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance
and regulator in the gas stream and in a position where it can be reached quickly in the
event of an emergency.
PRESSURE REGULATOR:
All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line
for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand.
The manual shut-off valve is normally supplied by the installer; however, a pressure regulator is
packed inside each Radiance product. The regulator has ¾” inlet/outlet openings. The maximum
amount of pressure these regulators can withstand is 14” W.C. pressure (1/2 PSI). If the line
pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down regulator will be required. The arrow forged into the
bottom of the regulator body shows gas flow direction; it should point downstream to the appliance.
The blue air vent cap on the top regulator is part of the regulator and should not be removed.
Any adjustments to regulators must be made only by qualified service personnel with the
proper test equipment.
NOTE: This appliance is not capable of being operated in the
event of power failure. NO attempt should be made to operate
this appliance during a power failure.
Failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty!
