This stockpot is shipped from the factory equipped with fixed burner orifices for natural gas operation. The burner
orifices required to convert the stockpot to propane gas are shipped with the stockpot in the shipping packaging.
It is recommended that a trained gas service technician with the necessary tools, instruments and skills perform
the conversion.
To convert to propane, following steps must be completed:
1. Remove all natural gas burner orifices and install the provided propane burner orifices.
2. Set the regulator to 10" W.C. by inverting the regulator spring plug like below pictures
The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas
is supplied to the equipment.
1. Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to clear
the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit from the top. Hold an ignition source and light the pilot. When the flame is stable,
remove ignition source.
5. Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.
Smoke appearing on initial start of the equipment is normal. This is a result of the painted coating burning off.
Allow the equipment to "burn in" for at least 20 minutes before the first use.
Pilot Flame Height Adjustment
• The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot
flames as small as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is turned to
the highest setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained through the holes in the front panel
Burner Adjustment
• Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to highest setting. Slowly decrease the air
shutters to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips. Then slowly increase opening to a point where the
yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.
