INSTALLATION

The MONTAGUE gas broilers are produced with the best possible materials and workmanship.
PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT TROUBLE-FREE
OPERATION.

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

OVEN/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 servic-

ing 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-NFPA54– latest addenda, Section 3.3.175.

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
and local authorities having jurisdiction. Reference: National Electric Code, N.F.P.A. No. 70
– latest addenda.

READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THE OVEN 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-NFPA54-LATEST ADDENDA OR THE NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE
INSTALLATION CODE CSA B149.1 AS APPLICABLE, 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).

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

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

VENTILATING HOOD

The broiler 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 No. 96-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‖.

Clearances

Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle and at the side and back to allow the doors to
open sufficiently to permit the removal of the racks and for serviceability. Adequate clearance for
air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided.

CAUTION!

DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE

BROILER(S). KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR FROM

COMBUSTIBLES.

INSTALLATION

Setting in Place

1. Uncrate unit and put into place. For easier and lighter handling of the broiler, remove cast iron
top grids, grid frame, drip tray, grease container, and debris screen.

2. Wire ties securing burners are for shipping purposes only and must be removed when
installing the appliance. This will permit the burners to be readily removed during future
servicing. Remove all other packing material from burner box.

3. FOR FLOOR MODELS, a set of 6‖ legs is packed in the top section of the broiler (unless unit
is specifically ordered without legs). A threaded receptacle is located on each corner (and in
the middle of units larger than 36‖) of the base of the unit. Each leg has a similar mating
thread. Raise unit sufficiently to allow legs to be screwed into the threaded receptacles. Level
unit by adjusting legs. AN UNLEVELED UNIT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT PERFORMANCE.

4. COUNTER UNITS must be installed on a level table or stand, and Modular units must be
leveled by adjusting the legs.

Battery Arrangements

1. Place the first unit in the exact position it will occupy in the battery.

2. Using a carpenter’s level, level the unit from front to rear and side to side. Adjust as follows:

FLOOR INSTALLATION ON LEGS: Adjust by turning foot on adjustable legs.

CURB INSTALLATION: Place shim under the low side. This operation is important since

variations in floors and curbs are common. Unless units are level, difficulty will be
encountered in aligning the gas supply manifold and the units will not butt together tightly.

3. Remove the upper valve panel from unit.

4. Move the next unit into position.

5. Engage union nut on manifold with make fitting on next unit and draw up union nut hand tight.
Be sure appliances butt together both front and rear. If manifolds do not align, then ranges are
not level. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to loosen manifold bolts and adjust.

6. Continue leveling and connecting gas supply manifolds together until all appliances in the
battery are connected.

7. Tighten manifold union gas tight. Use back up wrench to prevent manifold from rotating.

FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PILOTS AND GAS VALVES.

C CHECK ENTIRE SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKS.
