2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the tilting braising
pan is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within
15 days of delivery.

Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) and electrical
service agree with the specifications on the rating plate located on the left side panel as
you face the front of the braising pan. If the supply and equipment requirements do not
agree, contact your dealer or Blodgett.

LOCATION
The equipment must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The tilting

braising pan, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and non­combustible construction of 3" (76 mm) from sides and 6" (152 mm) from the rear. The
tilting braising pan is intended for use on non-combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper
operation. A minimum front clearance of 36" (914 mm) is required.

The tilting braising pan must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation
air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion
chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room
suitable for the amount of combustion gas feeding the braising pan burners.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the tilting braising pan, and wherever possible,
avoid open windows next to the tilting braising pan. Avoid wall-type fans which create
air cross currents within the room.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.

1. The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
(120V units only).

WARNING: Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply until after the gas
connection has been made.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS (Continued)

2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable.

ANSI/NFPA 96 - (latest edition), “Standard for Ventilation and Fire Protection of

Commercial Cooking Operations,” available from the National Fire Protection

Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, USA, 02269.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the tilting

braising pan. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the
building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

LEVELLING AND ANCHORING
