INSTALLATION

The MONTAGUE cheesemelters are produced with the best possible materials and work­manship. PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT TROUBLE­FREE OPERATION.
The gas fired cheesemelter is manufactured for use with the type of gas indicated on the
nameplate.

THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE FOR THE USE OF

QUALIFIED INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. INSTALLATION OR

SERVICE BY OTHER THAN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE

BROILER/INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.

Qualified installation personnel are individuals, a firm, corporation, or company which either in
person or through a representative are engaged in, and are responsible for:

A. The installation or replacement of gas piping or the connection, installation, repair or servicing of

equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required, and has
complied with all requirements of state or local authorities having jurisdiction. Reference:
National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1, Latest Addenda.

B. The installation of electrical wiring from the electric meter, main control box, or service outlet to

the electric appliance. Qualified installation personnel must be experienced in such work, be fa­miliar with all precautions required and have complied with all requirements of state or local au­thorities having jurisdiction. Reference: National Electric Code, N.F.P.A. No. 70, Latest
Addenda.

READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THE CHEESEMELETER (S) MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOCAL
CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS
CODE, ANSI Z223.1, LATEST ADDENDA, INCLUDING:

1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa).

2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa).

INSTALLATION

PROVISIONS MUST BE MADE FOR ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY TO THE UNIT.

VENTILATING HOOD

The cheesemelter(s) must be installed under a properly designed ventilating hood. The hood
should extend at least 6‖ beyond all sides of the unit. The hood should be connected to an
adequate mechanical exhaust system.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilation hoods may be obtained from the
―Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden
Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment‖, NFPA—Latest Addenda, available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

It is also necessary that the sufficient room air ingress be allowed to compensate for the amount
of air removed by the ventilation system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will
occur which may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish the pilot flame. In case of
unsatisfactory oven performance, re-check performance with the exhaust fan turned ―OFF‖.
