capabilities. These units incorporate 2, 4, 6 or 8 burners for fast, even cooking and heating. Refer to
data plate for BTU/hr Rate.
2. GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure gas supply and gas type shown on unit data plate match. (Data plate is located on the right side
panel of unit).
Unit installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the National Gas
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.2 as applicable and in
accordance with local codes.
Screw legs into the permanently fastened nuts on the four corners of the unit and tighten by hand.
Level the unit by turning the adjustment screw at the bottom of each leg. Do not slide unit with legs
mounted, lift if necessary to move unit.
Pipe gas supply to unit. The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet
line of the appliance.
Pipe threading compound must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
These units are suitable for installation on non-combustible surfaces.
Unit must have adequate clearances for servicing. (Sides = 0", Rear = 0", Floor = 4")
Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe
and efficient operation, since service pressures may fluctuate on local demand. A pressure regulator is
packed inside every Tri-Star appliance.
Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the appliance warranty.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only
withstand a maximum pressure of ½'' psi (14" WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down
regulator will be required.

4. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
HHP and HHPS Gas Open Burner Ranges are furnished with either a pilot safety valve or a standing
pilot (not available in the European Community). Please follow the instructions for your unit.
Pilot Operation Flame Failure Gas Valve:
Operation of the gas valve pilot:
1. Turn knob on the main gas valve to the pilot position
2. Depress knob to start gas flow to the pilot valve
3. Light pilot valve
a. Using a match or taper
4. Hold in knob for 15 to 30 seconds to heat up the thermocouple
5. Release knob and turn to the desired gas flow position
a. If pilot goes out repeat steps 1-4, some thermocouples will take longer to heat up
Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions (Not Available in the European Community)
The pilot lights on the broilers have been set at the factory. A screwdriver may be required for the first
lighting to adjust the flame for your elevation.
1. Turn off the manual shut off valve and wait 5 minutes to clear the gas.
2. Turn all knobs to the "OFF" position.
3. The valve can be accessed through an opening in the front panel or remove the cooking grates
and light the pilot from above.
4. Turn the manual shut off valve on.
5. Hold an ignition source (match) to both openings on the pilot tube. When the flames are
established, remove the ignition source.
6. Turn the burner knobs to “HI". If the burner does not ignite, promptly open the pilot valve more.
If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot
flame should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the
burners when the knobs are turned to “HI”.
Relighting the Pilot
If the pilot light should go out for any reason:
 Promptly shut off all gas at the manual shut off valve.
 Turn off all knobs and pilot valves; wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
 Relight following steps 4 through 6 under Standing Pilot Lighting Instructions.
Lighting the Main Burner
Since the burner is lit from constantly burning pilot, turn knobs to "HI" to put the unit in operation; then
adjust to any desired position between "LO" and "HI".
 To light burner, turn knob to "max." then back off to the desired flame level. The range of
adjustment is virtually infinite between high and off. (At the small flame, there is a pre-set low).
 When the broiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil used in manufacturing, preservation and dust
from storage and shipping are burned off. An hour at "max." on all burners is usually sufficient.
 Turn knobs off and let cool
 For first cooking, set the grates at maximum tilt position and preheat before broiling. You will have
to experiment with knob settings and grate position for each particular item.
 Keep the grease/water pan with sufficient water to cover the entire bottom.
 Clean regularly. Grates may be removed for washing in the sink. Brush out carbonized particles.
Thoroughly wash the grease/water pan.
CAUTION
Never attempt to move a grill section while cooking. An unexpected flare could cause severe injury.
Turn off the unit, let it cool and use potholders and/or gloves to reposition or remove. The space
between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air, DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.

Main burner air supply:
For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be
maintained which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming
flame. Primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner.
Loosen the screws on the front of the burner, and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips
of the burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screws.
European Community:
If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and
trained technician who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by the end user.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that
is required to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the units’
sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount
of air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur,
affecting operation and causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or
area in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically. This must be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
5. MAINTENANCE
Daily:
1. Thoroughly clean back, sides, top and front of unit.
2. Clean grates daily.
Weekly
1. Clean unit thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish
with a soft, dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use a
non-abrasive cleaner.
2. To clean the drip pan: Remove the drip pan by grabbing the handle and pulling it out of the
opening in the front panel. To replace the pan, reverse this procedure.
3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.
4. Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye
water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then either brush with a wire brush or clean gas ports with a sharppointed metal instrument to insure open ports.

6. CONVERSION





Instructions are for conversion from Natural Gas to Propane (L.P.) on all models TSHHP and
TSHHPS.
The conversion should be done before connecting the unit to the gas supply.
Units are shipped from the factory equipped for use on natural gas. Orifices necessary for LP
(propane) are provided in a bag tied to the valve on the front panel.
o Remove the knobs and front panel.
o Remove the orifice fittings from the valve. Change the orifices to the size recommended for
propane (L.P).
o Replace the orifice fittings into the valve.
