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).

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.

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).
