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 INSTALLAION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. INSTALLATION OR
SERVICE BY OTHER THAN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
BR/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, 1988, Sec. 1.4.
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,
1988.
READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THE OVEN MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOAL CODES, OR IN
THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI
Z223.1-1988, 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.
Ventilating Hood
The broiler must be installed under a properly designed 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.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
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. 96-1987, 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, check with the exhaust fan turned ―OFF‖.
Clearances
Adequate clearances must be provided in the aisle in front of the broiler for safe operation, removal of racks, drip tray, and grease container, and for serviceability. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided.
CLEARANCES
UF, UFS, UFSM & UFSC MODELS: NONCOMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
BACK: 0”
LEFT & RIGHT SIDE: 0”
FOR USE IN NONCOMBUSTIBLE LOCATIONS ONLY
CAUTION!
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE
BROILER(S). KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR FROM
COMBUSTIBLES.
Setting in Place
1. Uncrate unit and put into place. For easier and lighter handling of broiler, remove coals, 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
I installing the appliance. This will permit the burners to be readily removed during future servicing.
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.

INSTALLATION
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
a 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 male 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.
Gas Hook Up
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the flow of gas
required for satisfactory performance. A steady supply pressure between 7‖ and 8‖ WC for natural
gas and 11‖ and 12‖ WC for propane gas is required. With all units operating simultaneously, the
manifold pressure on all units should not show any appreciable drop. Fluctuation of more than 25%
on natural gas and 10% on propane gas will create pilot problems and affect burner operating characteristics. Contact your gas company for correct supply line sizes.
The unit should be connected only to the type of gas for which it is equipped. Check type of gas on
rating plate.
1. 1-1/4‖ FRONT MANIFOLD:
The gas manifold of this appliance or of the battery which it is a part must be connected to a gas
a appliance pressure regulator adjusted for the manifold pressure marked on the rating plate.
IMPORTANT
THE UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH FIXED ORIFICES FOR THE TYPE OF GAS MARKED ON THE
RATING PLATE. THE ORIFICES ARE SIZED FOR THE FOLLOWING MANIFOLD PRESSURE:
NATURAL GAS ..…………. 4.0” WC PROPANE GAS ……………….10.0” WC
