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.
- A qualified installer must connect it following local codes, with the supplied pressure regulator and a manual shut-off valve ahead of the unit, and plug it into a grounded 120V receptacle.
- 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.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The solid state controls need 120V, 60Hz, 1 phase power at 1 amp, through a 6' cord with a standard 3-prong grounded plug. Royal's manual says not to operate it during a power failure.
What is a snap action griddle?
Royal's snap action griddles use a solid state control for each burner with a sensor embedded in the plate (Royal's catalog puts the probe 1/4" under the plate). Royal's spec sheet does not list a temperature range; call us if you need it confirmed.
Can it sit on a refrigerated base?
Royal designs it with an 11" working height for refrigerated bases and offers an adapter for use on a refrigerated base. Call us to add the adapter.
What is the difference between the RDSA-36-D and the RDSA-36?
The RDSA-36-D has a 30" deep cooking surface and is 38-1/2" deep overall. The RDSA-36 has a 24" cooking depth and is 32-1/2" deep overall.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear, 7" 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 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.
