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.
Does it need electricity?
No. It lights with standing pilots and runs on gas valves only, so no outlet is needed.
How many thermostats does it have?
1 electromechanical thermostat, adjustable from 150°F to 450°F, for 2 burners. Royal puts a thermostat every 12", except on the 18" and 30" models.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear, 6-1/2" above the counter. Manifold pressure is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane; the regulator ships with the unit for your installer to connect.
How much clearance does it need?
6" at the rear and 4" at the sides from combustible walls, and 0" from non-combustible walls.
What options are available?
Royal lists these options: grooved griddle, chrome griddle plate, pilot safety, cutting board, plate shelf, stainless steel equipment stand, 5" swivel casters for stand. Call us to add one.
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), with labor done by an authorized Royal service agency. Royal lists the welded frame with a lifetime warranty.
How do I clean the griddle plate?
Daily, scrub the warm plate with warm water and a fine-grit griddle brick, and empty and clean the grease can. Wipe stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
