INTRODUCTION

U.S. Range manufactures the “Regal” Infra Red Cheese Melter
in widths ranging from two feet to ten feet, designed for
either wall mounting or counter installation.

All units are shipped completely assembled, with the wall
mounting bracket, (when applicable) packed on the inside
bottom. Gas regulators are packed and shipped inside the
body of the unit. All units are inspected at the factory prior to
shipment.

Like any ne, precision built piece of equipment, your
appliance should be given regular care and maintenance.
Periodic inspections by your dealer or a qualied service
agency are recommended.

Uncrating

After uncrating, immediately check the equipment for visible
signs of shipping damage.

If such damage has occurred, do not refuse shipment, but
contact the shipper and le the appropriate freight claims.

Rating Plate

The rating plate is attached to the cheese melter frame
behind the valve cover, and it visible through the air intake
above the cheese melter cavity.

When corresponding with the factory or your local
authorized factory service center regarding service problems
or replacement parts, be sure to refer to the particular unit
by the correct model number (including the prex and sux
letters and numbers) and the warranty serial number. The
rating plate axed to the unit contains this information.

Other information on this plate is the BTU/hr input to the
burners, outlet gas pressure in inches WC, and whether
oriced for natural or propane gas.

WARNING All U.S. Range Cheese Melters must be connected
only to the type of gas identied on the rating plate!
Installation must be in accordance with ANSI 283.11 (latest
edition) of the American national Standards Institute, Inc.

INSTALLATION

Clearances

The appliance area must be kept free and clear of all
combustibles.

These units are design-certied for the following
installations:

1. Intended for other than household use.

2. For use in non combustible locations only.

3. For use with 4” (minimum) legs.

Type of Construction

Minimum Clearance

Combustible Non-Combustible

Rear 3” (76mm) Rear 0”

Sides 6” (152mm) Sides 0”

Positioning and Setup

1. Wall Mounting

This is the usual method; the U.S. Range Infrared Cheese
Melter was designed for this application. The wall mounting
bracket is 16 gauge steel and is furnished without mounting
holes. Position the bracket on the non-combustible wall
where the unit is to be placed, then mark on the bracket the
location of the wall studs. Drill for a 3/16” or stronger shank
wood screw or lag bolt, and mount the bracket to the wall,
working to level with a carpenter’s spirit level. Set the bracket
left or right to maintain the necessary side clearances to
any combustible sidewalls while centering it on the cheese
melter.

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.

INSTALLATION Continued

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 baes 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:

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
ecient 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 U.S.
Range with every Cheese Melter.

Regulators are pre-set at the factory for 5” WC (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” WC). 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
qualied 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!
