Installation & Start-Up (cont'd)
9.
The internal gas lines of the unit were cleaned and closed off with a gas cock, before the unit was
shipped from the factory. Free all external gas lines of lint, dirt, metal chips, sealant, grease, oil,
and other contaminants, before you connect the lines to the kettle.
10.
Connect the gas cock of the kettle to the gas service main with 3/4 inch IPS line or approved
equivalent.
11.
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1-1988 (or latest edition). The unit should be installed in an adequately
ventilated room with a provision for adequate air supply. The best ventilation will utilize a vent
hood and exhaust fan with no direct connection between the vent duct and the flue. Do NOT
obstruct the flue or vent duct after installation.
In Canada, the installation must conform to the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment and/or local codes.
12.
Adequate space for proper service and operation is required. Do NOT block any air intake
spacings to the combustion chamber or obstruct the air flow by piling or stacking anything near
the kettle.
13.
After the kettle has been connected to the gas supply, all gas line joints must be checked for
leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. A thick soap solution or other suitable
leak detector should be employed.
14
For a unit on casters, complete connection to the gas supply with connectors that comply with the
standard for connectors for moveable gas appliances, ANSI Z21.69 — latest edition. Restrain
movement of the unit by attaching a cable or chain to the eyelet (provided at the back of the
frame) and anchoring the cable or chain to the wall or floor. Make the length and location of the
cable such that the unit cannot pull on the gas connection while the cable is connected.
15.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.48
kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.48 kPa).
16.
Check the following points to confirm that your AH kettle has been installed properly.
a. Enough room between the kettle and nearby objects for cleaning and service.
b. Minimum clearance of 6 inches from sides and 6 inches from draft diverter.
c. Unit vented to a hood or chimney.
d. Kettle level.
e. Correct amount of water in the jacket.
f. Safety valve outlet pointed down.
g. Connected with a waterproof, 115 volt, 15 amp supply of electric power in accordance with
electrical codes.
h. Gas lines cleaned before connection.
i. Gas connected with 3/4 inch pipe or equivalent.
j. Gas line joints checked for leaks.
k. No obstruction to air supply or venting.
After the kettle has been installed, the installer should test to ensure that the unit is operating correctly.
1.
Remove all literature and packing materials from the inside and outside of the unit. Clean out any
material that might clog or damage the tangent draw-off valve (TDO).
2.
Close the TDO, then put water into the kettle until the water is about 6 inches deep. Test operation
of the TDO by opening it all the way, then closing it before all the water runs out.
3.
Make sure the supplies of gas and electric power are on.
4.
Following "To Start Kettle" instructions in the "Operation" section of this manual, begin heating the
water at the highest thermostat setting. The heating indicator light should come on as soon as you
turn up the thermostat dial, and heating should continue until the water boils.
5.
To turn off the unit, follow "To Turn Off Kettle" instructions in the "Operation" section.
If the kettle functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your area Groen
representative.
