Frequently asked questions
What gas connection does the SE-HCG36NG need?
It needs a natural gas supply. A licensed gas installer should make the connection and check the inlet size and supply pressure against the installation manual that ships with the unit.
Can the SE-HCG36NG run on propane?
This model number is the natural gas version. Do not connect it to propane. Contact us before ordering if your kitchen runs on LP so we can confirm the right configuration.
Is this a countertop or floor model griddle?
It is a countertop griddle. Set it on a level, sturdy counter, equipment stand or chef base rated for the weight of a commercial griddle.
Does a gas countertop griddle need a ventilation hood?
Yes, in most jurisdictions. Commercial gas cooking equipment is normally installed under a commercial exhaust hood. Follow your local fire, mechanical and health codes, and keep the clearances listed in the installation manual.
How does the SE-HCG36NG differ from the SE-HCG24NG and SE-HCG48NG?
The main difference is width. The SE-HCG24NG is 24" wide for smaller lines or food trucks, the SE-HCG36NG is 36", and the SE-HCG48NG is 48" for higher-volume griddle stations. All three are natural gas countertop models.
