PLANNING AND SITE PREPARATION

_________________________________________________________________________________

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR MBR IS IMPORTANT

MBR-

UNCRATING AND PREPARING MBR UNITS FOR INSTALLATION

We recommend a licensed rigger be used to set up this equipment. It has been shipped in two crates:

• CRATE A MAIN COOKING UNIT

• CRATE B ROUND COOK TOP

MBR-

Installation area must be free and clear from combustibles.

The bottom of the main unit has a set of parallel rails designed to be engaged by a pallet jack or a forklift. The main unit with the top mounted weighs approximately 1500-2100 pounds. We do not recommend moving the unit after the top has been mounted. Use a lifting device rated in excess of that amount to lift the load. OSHA standards for equipment handling must be adhered to. Be sure that the fork rails are properly mated with the jack and/or the forks or serious damage and/or injury may result when the unit is lifted.

1 Uncrate the main unit and the top.

MBR-

2 Place the main unit in the position it will occupy. Be sure to locate your unit with the clearances away from combustible construction as indicated on the nameplate of the unit. Remove packing materials. Check gas burners that may have shifted in transit and resecure them if required. Turn all gas valve lever handles to off position. Check to ensure that all burner pipe nipples are aligned and fully inserted into air mixers. Tighten air mixer set screws if necessary.

3 Clearances for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances. All MBRs are only suitable for installation on noncombustible ﬂ oors.

4 Level the body before the cook top is mounted. Leveling of the top is done using directions that follow after the

BR-4

cook top has been placed on the body and the gas connection has been made.

When the unit is in ﬁ nal operating position conﬁ rm that all of the top support lugs are the same height AFF. Each bullet leg must touch the ﬂ oor.

BODY INSTALLATION

_________________________________________________________________________________

1 We recommend the use of a 2” gas line to feed the unit. Minimum line size is 1½”.

Large MBR units will not perform as designed if an insufﬁ ciently sized gas line is attached.

2 The installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:

a The appliance and it’s 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 ½ PSI (3.45 kPa).

This individual shut-off valve is a master valve that shuts off the gas to the entire unit and must be installed to meet code requirements listed above.

b The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa).

3 Local regulations governing gas appliance installations must be complied with.

4 This equipment must be installed underneath a hood to ensure adequate ventilation.

5 MBR-48/84 installation is generally in the center of a cooking area with clear access on all sides.

6 Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant ﬁ bers that will ignite and burn, must not be

exposed near the range. Local safety codes should be complied with in respect to ﬁ re hazard avoidance.

7 Use the Town supplied appliance gas pressure regulator with vent limiting device or an approved ANSI/CGA equivalent. The regulator must be installed in a location where it remains cool and is accessible for pressure adjustment (ANSI Z83.11-1996 sect. 1.15.5). Never mount regulator inside grill body. (Town supplies an RV-61 1¼” NPT.)

a. If this unit is installed in a building with a 2 PSI gas system, a ﬁ rst stage “pounds to inches” line regulator must be installed upstream of the appliance regulator. This regulator is to be supplied by the installing company/contractor.

8 The unit must be kept clear to avoid restriction of air supply for combustion.

9 The unit must be installed in an area or room with sufﬁ cient fresh air supply to ensure proper combustion.

10 There must be adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.

11 This equipment must be installed with adequate clearance for servicing and proper operation.

12 This unit should be operated only with drip pan in place.

TOP INSTALLATION

_________________________________________________________________________________

1 There are leveling screws on the top of the main body. The height of the screws has been adjusted at the fac

tory to ensure proper combustion. Do not change the settings except in order to adjust the leveling of the top.

2 Never place any part of your body between the cook top and the main unit. Never place your hands underneath the top or in the gap between cook top and the main unit.

3 If you have a model with a scrap chute, we recommend mounting the scrap chute after the top is in position.

4 After verifying that the adjusting screws are locked in place, lift the top into position over the main cooking

unit by using an ANSI approved sling (fabric or chain) that engages a minimum of 3 places on the outside

perimeter of the cook top. If your unit has a scrap chute, use a second ANSI sling to engage the central inner

hole of the cook top in three places thereby giving six points of support to the top as it is lifted into place.

5 Lower the top slowly so that the leveling screws are all located underneath the top. This alignment must be done-

MBR-

manually. Line up the top so that it is equal distance on all sides from the scrap shelf. It is recommended that

several persons assist during the set up operation. When the top is in position there will be a gap between the

top and the base of the unit. This is normal. It allows airﬂ ow for proper combustion.

6 Level the cook top. Use two carpenter levels; place them on the top at right angles to each other at opposite

ends of the top. Use the adjustment screws to level the top. When top is level move the levels 90˚ and level again. Move levels as necessary until the entire top is level to the ﬂ oor. The nominal height from the cooking

surface to the scrap ring is 8-9”.

MBR-

7 Remove the slings from the cook top.

MBR-

8 As a ﬁ nal check, measure the height from the top of the cooking surface to the ﬂ oor. The size should measure

37½” (+/- ½”).

9 All units: place the scrap cups into position.

10 Top must be properly seasoned (see page 11).

LIGHTING AND SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

_________________________________________________________________________________

Always use the following lighting and shutdown instructions below when operating your MBR. A 5 minute complete shut off period is required before lighting or relighting an MBR. See diagrams on page 5.

BR-4

1 Before allowing gas to ﬂ ow to the MBR, ensure all MBR gas valves are off by turning each handle clockwise.

Check for leaks using soapy water or another suitable leak detector.

2 Use a gas match to light the burner pilots. See ﬁ gures 1-4, on page 5. Also refer to pages 12-14 for additional

safety pilot valve guidelines from the manufacturer, Robertshaw.

Burner valves should be in off position (ﬁ gure 3). An ignition port is provided for

each pilot burner. Use a ﬂ ashlight to locate each prior to inserting a lighting device. Until one is familiar with lighting the unit, it is recommended one person light the pilots and the second to locate and hold the red button on each safety control.

Starting at scrap bin access door, insert the ignited lighter through the ignition port and light the pilot burner as you push and hold the red button on the safety control (ﬁ gure 2).

On initial startup, allow 5 to 15 minutes for air trapped in the gas lines to bleed

while holding the safety control ignition button. A qualiﬁ ed gas service technician can bleed the line from the pressure test port. It is located on the manifold to the right of the front access door.

The pilot should light. Continue to hold the button for one minute as in

ﬁ gure 2 or until the pilot stays lit. Repeat the above step until all pilots are lit.

With all pilots lit, turn each main burner valve counter clockwise to on position (ﬁ gure 3). Be sure all burners are visable through the ports are lit with a clear, blue

ﬂ ame about 2” long. Each burner has an adjustable air mixer that has been preset at the factory but may need to be adjusted depending on altitude and gas composition.

To adjust air/gas mixture, loosen air shutter locking nut. Turn burner valve to full on

position as in ﬁ gure 3. Adjust air shutter until proper blue ﬂ ame is burning on both rings. Resecure locking nut on air shutter after making adjustments and turn off the burner. All units are equipped with ﬁ xed oriﬁ ces which cannot be adjusted for gas ﬂ ow.

When unit is not in use, turn main burner valves clockwise to off position

(ﬁ gure 3).
