FIRST STEPS
POSITIONING
Keep appliance area free and clear of any combus-
tibles. Position the Keating Miraclean® Griddle 6
inches (152mm) from any combustible material. A
minimum of 24 inches (610mm) should be provided
at the front of the Keating Miraclean® Griddle for ser-
vicing and proper operation. Air for combustion enters
the griddle from the bottom of the cabinet and the
bottom of the control panel.
DO NOT BLOCK BOTTOM OF MIRACLEAN
®
GRIDDLE CABINET. DO NOT OBSTRUCT FLUE.
Your Keating Miraclean® Griddle is designed to be
serviced from the front with adequate clearance for
air openings into the combustion chamber servicing
and operation.

VENTILATION
The Miraclean® Griddle must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do
not obstruct the fl ow of combustion and ventilation
air. Proper ventilation is one of the important con-
siderations for effi cient operation of the Miraclean®
Griddle. It should be installed so that the products
of combustion are removed effi ciently without pro-
ducing drafts that will interfere with proper burner
operation. The area around the front and bottom
of the Miraclean® Griddle must be kept clear and
unobstructed. In the USA, the ventilation systems
must conform to the ANSI/NFPA96 latest edition.
“A minimum of 18" (457mm) should be maintained
between the fl ue outlet and the lower edge of the
grease fi lters.” It is the responsibility of the owner
and the local installer to comply with national and
local codes.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Flexible connec-
tors must comply to ANSI Z221.69/CAN/CGA1.16.
Keating equipment is designed and manufactured to
operate only on the type of gas specifi ed by the user
and indicated on the serial plate located inside the
door. The gas may be natural, propane or manufac-
tured. The type of gas cannot be converted to another
gas fuel by turning or engaging a switch.
NOTE: NOT FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION.
GAS CONNECTIONS AND PIPE SIZE
The Miraclean® Griddle requires a standard gas pipe
size of 3/4 inch (19mm) I.D. connection. The size
of the gas supply pipe is very important. If the pipe
is too small you will have low gas pressure at the
Miraclean® Griddle manifold. Low gas pressure will
cause slow recovery and/or delayed ignition, amongst
other problems. If you have a question about gas
pipe size, call your local gas company.
Before connecting new pipe to the Miraclean® Griddle
the pipe must be blown out to remove all foreign par-
ticles. These particles in the controls or burners may
cause improper or dangerous operating conditions.
Pipe joint compounds that are used on threaded
joints of appliance piping shall be resistant to the
action of liquefi ed petroleum gases (Loctite PST
56765). When using pipe joint compound do not
apply to the fi rst two threads. Use only a very small
amount and only on male threads. This will prevent
clogging of burner orifi ces and the gas valve. Never
use compound on female threads as it might be
pushed into the gas valve.
Have your installer check for gas leaks using a soap
and water solution before operating.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS.
1. The
Miraclean® Griddle and
its individual shut off valves
must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping
system during any pressure
testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of
1/2 psi (3.45kPa) (13.84
in WC). High pressure can
damage the gas valve
causing a hazardous
condition.
Excessive pressure introduced to the griddle may void
the warranty.
WARNING
Do not use
open flame to
check for leaks.
