INSTALLATION

GENERAL:

The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1-1984, and with the National Electrical Code ANSI NFPA 70-1984. These models are design certified for operation on natural or propane gases. The serial plate is located just inside the cabinet door, at the left front of the cabinet bottom.

For orifice sizes and pressure regulator settings, refer to the chart under "SPECIFICATIONS."

An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines restrict the volume of gas necessary for satisfactory performance. A pressure regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to maintain a 4" W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas, and a 10" W.C. manifold pressure for propane gas. However, to maintain these conditions,

INSTALLATION

the pressure on the supply line when all units are operating simultaneously should not drop below 7" W.C. for natural

gas or 11" W.C. for propane gas.

All pipe joints should be tested for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating the unit. The test pressure

should not exceed 14" W.C.

All equipment 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 14" W.C. In addition, to eliminate the indication of false leaks in the supply piping, all cooking equipment must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than 14"

W.C. A 1/8" pressure tap is located on the combination gas control inside the cabinet.

The unit must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed. Provisions for an adequate air supply must also be provided. Do NOT obstruct the front of the unit, as combustion air

enters through this area.

CAUTION:

THIS 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).

THIS 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 PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 1/2

PSIG (3.45 kPa).

EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:

Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance and be located 6' 6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance, or may extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory

performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the "OFF" position. Minimum clearances from combustible construction:

No additional clearance from the sides and back is required for service as the unit is serviceable from the

front.

INSTALLATION

LEGS OR OPTIONAL CASTERS:

1. Braising pans are shipped completely assembled with the exception of the legs.

2. A set of 6" legs is packed in the drain container. A threaded receptacle is fastened to the base frame at each corner. Each leg has a similar mating thread.

3. Raise unit sufficiently to allow legs to be screwed into the receptacles. For safety, "shore up" and support the raised section with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.

4. The legs can be adjusted to overcome an uneven floor. Use a spirit level in the pan to level unit.

5. Bring the unit to its upright position gently. Never drop or allow the unit to fall.

6. Install the lower base panel on the unit. Keyholes for mounting the panel are provided.

WARNING:

FOR AN APPLIANCE EQUIPPED WITH CASTERS, THE INSTALLATION SHALL BE MADE WITH A CONNECTOR THAT COMPLIES WITH THE STANDARD FOR CONNECTORS FOR MOVABLE GAS APPLIANCES, ANSI Z21.69-1979, AND ADDENDA Z21.69a-1983, AND A QUICK-DISCONNECT DEVICE THAT COMPLIES WITH THE STANDARD FOR QUICK-DISCONNECT DEVICES FOR USE WITH GAS FUEL, ANSI Z21.41-1978, AND ADDENDA Z21.41a-1981 AND Z21.41b-1983. ADEQUATE MEANS MUST BE PROVIDED TO LIMIT THE MOVEMENT OF THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT DEPENDING ON THE CONNECTOR AND THE QUICK-DISCONNECT DEVICE OR ITS ASSOCIATED PIPING TO LIMIT THE

APPLIANCE MOVEMENT.

INSTALLATION

WARNING:

IF DISCONNECTION OF THIS RESTRAINT IS NECESSARY TO MOVE THE APPLIANCE FOR CLEANING,

ETC., RECONNECT IT WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS MOVED TO ITS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED POSITION.

WATER SUPPLY OPTION:

When a water supply with a flexible hose and spray head is furnished as an optional feature, the water line is brought through an opening in the rear, into the lower compartment, where it is connected to the faucet. A rubber hose and its fittings, suitable for conditions in a commercial kitchen are recommended, particularly for units which

are moved for cleaning.

GAS CONNECTION:

1. All braising pans are factory equipped with pressure regulator which is set for the type of gas denoted on the

serial plate.

The gas connection is made on the lower left at the rear of the unit. The connection can be made in one of two

ways:

Rear Connection:

1. Make connection directly to the 3/4" NPT (male) pipe protruding from the lower left of the unit at rear.

Bottom Connection:

1. Cap the 3/4" NPT (male) pipe protruding from the unit on the lower left at the rear.

2. Remove the plug from the tee at the left rear corner on the bottom of the unit. The tee is recessed

approximately 3" into the hole which passes through the bottom of the unit. A 3-1/4" box-type socket

with an extension will be required.

3. Insert a 3/4" supply pipe with a 3/4" NPT thread through the hole in the bottom of the unit. Screw the pipe securely into the tee.

When tightening the supply pipe be sure to hold the mating pipe extending from the unit securely with a wrench. This

will prevent any damage or distortion to the internal piping and controls of the unit. On all threaded connections, the pipe compound must be approved for use with natural and LP gas.

Check all connections thoroughly for gas leaks before lighting the pilot. Use soapy water only; NEVER use a flame.

No electrical connections are required.

INSTALLATION

LIGHTING:

Open compartment door.

Manual gas valve must be "OPEN."

2. The screws and the right angle shield assemblies at the rear of the burner compartment are for shipping

purposes only and must be removed prior to initially lighting the unit.

Turn thermostat to "OFF."

Pilot can be ignited with a match or taper through a hole between the mixer tubes of the first and second

burners from the left, or by raising the pan.

INSTALLATION

Turn the knob on the Unitrol to the pilot position. Depress knob by pushing down.

b. While holding knob depressed, ignite pilot and hold knob depressed for about 30 seconds. If pilot does

not stay ignited when knob is depressed, procedure must be repeated and knob held in longer.

Adjustment of pilot flame may be required.

When pilot stays ignited, put pan in horizontal position.

Turn knob on Unitrol to "ON."

e. Turn thermostat to desired temperature. Pilot will ignite carry-over burner and main burner's ignition

will follow.

f. Main burner will remain "ON" until thermostat is satisfied and it interrupts millivolt circuit. Burners are

either full ON or OFF.

Raising the pan more than 10 inches also causes the mercury tilt switch to interrupt the circuit,

causing the burners to be OFF.

SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE:

Stand-by: Turn dial on the Unitrol control to the Pilot position. At this setting, only the pilot burner will remain

ignited.

Complete shut-down: Turn dial to the pilot position, then depress and continue turn to the "OFF" position. For

continued shut-down or for service work, the main manual valve can be closed.

RELIGHTING:

Shut off all gas.

Wait 5 minutes.

Repeat "LIGHTING" instructions in Section "A."

CAUTION:

IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY

SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
