Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.

- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
Does it run on natural gas or propane?
Either. Pick Natural Gas or Liquid Propane (LP) before adding it to the cart; Royal builds it for the gas you specify. Tell us your elevation if you are above 2,000 feet.
How many BTU is it?
164,000 BTU/hr total per Royal's table. The sheet rates the broiler burners at 11,000 BTU/hr every 6" and the griddle burners at 12,000 BTU/hr every 6", but those ratings do not add up to the table total, so call us if you need the burner-by-burner figure.
What gas connection does it need?
Royal's sheet lists a 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear; its drawing shows a 3/4" pipe behind both the broiler and the griddle section. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. natural gas and 10" W.C. propane; the regulator ships with the unit. Confirm the connection with us before installation.
Can it go next to a wood or drywall wall?
No. Royal's spec sheet says it is for installation in non-combustible locations only, with 0" clearance to non-combustible walls. Combustible-wall installation is not listed.
How hot does the griddle get?
Each 12" of griddle has its own thermostat, adjustable from 150°F to 450°F. The plate is 1" thick polished steel, 21 1/2" deep.
What options are available?
Round or square 3/8" rod grates in steel or stainless steel and cast iron criss-cross (diamond) grates for the broiler, plus stainless steel equipment stands with optional 5" swivel casters. Call us to add any of these.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal's limited warranty is 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture); cast iron parts are covered for 90 days. The spec sheet also lists a "fully welded frame with lifetime warranty"; Royal's warranty page does not detail that term, so ask us to confirm it with Royal.
How do I clean it?
Daily, clean the broiler grates with warm water, a mild cleaner and a wire brush, and empty the grease can. Clean the griddle plate with warm water and a griddle brick. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
