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.
