Positioning and Setup
1. Wall Mounting
The U.S. Range infra-red cheese melter may be mounted to
a non-combustible wall with an optional wall mounting kit.
Local authorities should be contacted to ensure compliance
with all local codes.
Note: Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of
the cheese melter.
1). Position, level and mark the location of the assembled
wall mount kit.
2). Drill holes in the wall (locating studs if necessary) to
accept suitable fastening devices.
3). Drill holes in the angle iron bars of the wall mounting kit
to match those drilled in the wall.
4). Install wall mounting kit to wall.
5). Install and secure cheese melter with #10 sheet metal
screws supplied.
2. Counter Mounting
The U.S. Range Infrared Cheese Melter may be installed on a
counter or as part of a cooking island, but is permissible only
on a non-combustible counter surface.
Air Supply and Ventilation
The area around the appliance must be kept clear to avoid
any obstruction to the ow of combustion and ventilation
air, as well as, for ease of maintenance and service.
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty
cooking appliance to exhaust combustion waste products
to the outside of the building. This is doubly important for
open grate broilers, since the design promotes grease and fat
dripping through onto hot radiants sending smoke back up
onto the product as seasoning. This smoke then continues
either up to the ceiling or to an exhaust hood. Filters and drip
troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult
local codes before constructing and installing a hood.
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air
conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in the
room and/or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere
with pilot or burner performance and be hard to diagnose.
Air movement should be checked during installation; if pilot/
burner outage problems persist make-up air openings or
baes may have to be provided in the room.
Gas Supply
1. Installation of the equipment should be made by a
licensed plumber.
2. A gas shut-o valve must be installed in the gas supply
line ahead or the appliance for safety and for ease of
future service.
3. A gas pressure regulator must be installed at the
appliance prior to connecting the equipment to the gas
line. Failure to install a regulator will void the equipment
warranty.
NOTE: The gas supply (service) line must be the same size
or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. U.S. Range
Cheese Melters use a 3/4” NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints
must be resistive to LP gas.
Statutory Regulations
Safe and satisfactory operation of your equipment depends,
to a great extent, on its proper installation. Installation must
conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes with
the National Fuel code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable, including:
Part # 1382697 Rev. 1 (10/18/11)Page 6
INSTALLATION Continued
1. The appliance and its individual shuto 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 psi (3.45 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shuto
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psi (3.45 kPa).
Manual Shut-O Valve
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas
service line ahead of the appliance and regulator in the gas
stream and in a position where it can be reached quickly in
the event of an emergency.
Pressure Regulator
All heavy-duty, commercial cooking equipment must have
a pressure regulator in the incoming service line for safe and
ecient operation, since service pressure may uctuate with
local demand. The manual shut-o valve is normally supplied
by the installer, but pressure regulators are shipped from
Garland with every Cheese Melter.
Regulators are pre-set at the factory for 5” W.C. (natural gas)
or 10” WC (propane) according to the customer’s ordering
instructions.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line
pressure, as these regulators can withstand a maximum
pressure of 1/2 psi (14” W.C.). If the Line pressure is beyond
this limit, a step-down regulator will be required. Doublecheck the arrow forged onto the bottom of the regulator
body which shows gas ow directions; it should point
downstream to the appliance. The red air-vent cap is part of
the regulator and should not be removed unless local codes
require external venting.
Regulators can be adjusted in the eld, but it is
recommended that they not be tampered with unless that
part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure
uctuations are found to exist and can be solved no other
way. Any adjustments to regulators must be made by
qualied service personnel with proper test equipment.
WARNING Do not connect the regulator inside the
unit’s body or directly on top of the cheese melter, as
temperatures are high enough in these areas to destroy
the regulator. Failure to install a pressure regulator will
void the equipment warranty!
and clear any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign
matter before installing in a service line. Those particles will
clog orices when gas pressure is applied.
WARNING All connections must be sealed with a joint
compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be
tested with a soapy solution before lighting any pilots!
Flexible Couplings & Connectors.
If the unit is to be installed with exible couplings and/or
quick-disconnect ttings, 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 /CSA 6.16, and a quick-disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 / CSA 6.9, and
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 and the location(s) where the
restraining means may be attached to the appliance shall be
specied.
Further, if the unit is to be installed on a non-combustible
surface that is equipped with casters, means must be
provided to limit the movement of the unit on this surface.
Manual Pilot Valve
All burners are equipped with constant-burning pilots. These
should be manually lighted immediately after the gas is
turned on and the system is checked for leaks. An adjustment
screw for each pilot is located on the gas manifold and can
be accessed through openings in the valve panel between
the valve knobs.
Testing and Adjustments
Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy solution
before lighting any pilots. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting open ame beside a new
connection is not only dangerous, but will often miss small
leaks that a soapy solution would nd.
All U.S. Range appliances are adjusted and tested before
leaving the factory, eectively matching them to sea
level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure
proper operation may be necessary on installation to meet
local conditions, low gas pressure, dierences in altitude;
variations in gas characteristics, to correct possible problems
caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and
are to be performed only by qualied service personnel.
Rigid Connections
Double-check any installer-supplied intake pipes visually
Part # 1382697 Rev. 1 (10/18/11) Page 7
These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer,
installer and/or dealer and are not covered by the U.S. Range
warranty.
INITIAL OPERATION
Initial Pilot Light
Initial pilot light is in the following sequence:
1. Turn the manual shut-o valve on the incoming service
line “OFF”.
2. Turn all burner valves “OFF”.
3. Close all pilot adjusting screws (clockwise turn all the
way in).
4. Wait for any accumulated gas to disperse.
5. Open the manual shut-o valve.
6. Apply a lighted match or taper to a pilot burner and open
that pilot’s adjustment screw gradually until the pilot
lights.
7. Adjust the pilot ame for the desired characteristics.
8. Turn “ON” that main burner and watch to make sure it
lights from the pilot, then turn the burner “OFF”.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 to light all remaining pilots.
If only one pilot has gone out, it is not necessary to follow
the entire procedure outlined above. Merely apply a lighted
match or taper to the pilot until it lights, then adjust the pilot
valve. If the pilot will not light, close the adjustment valve
completely, do not use that burner, and call for service.
NOTE: It may be necessary to re-light the pilots several
times until the new lines are purged of any trapped air and
constant gas ow is attained
Final Preparation
New units are wiped clean with solvent at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc., remaining
from the manufacturing process. They should be washed
with hot, soapy water to remove any solvent or oil residue or
installation dust or debris before using for food preparation.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: If gas odors are detected, the gas supply must
be turned “OFF’ at the main shut-o valve and the local
gas company or authorized service agency contacted for
service.
General Cleaning
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is
no exception. Your U.S. Range Cheese Melter must be kept
clean during the working day and thoroughly cleaned at the
end of each day.
Periodic
Your U.S. Range Cheese Melter should be checked and
adjusted periodically by qualied service personnel as part of
a regular kitchen maintenance program.
Cleaning Stainless Steel
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with
hot, soapy water during the day, and with a liquid cleaner
designed for this material at the end of each day. Do not
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it
is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted
materials, soak the encrusted area with wet cloths to loosen
the material, then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use
a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tools to scrape
stainless steel. Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
