INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the Cheese Melter is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Before installing, verify that the gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the rating
plate located on the front.
LOCATION
The area around the appliance must be kept free and clear from combustibles. The area in front of and
above the Cheese Melter must be clear to avoid any obstruction to the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Means must be provided for adequate air supply and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber.
Adequate clearance must be provided in front and at the sides of the appliance for servicing and proper
operation.
The Cheese Melter can be installed in combustible or noncombustible locations. Clearance from
combustible construction must be a minimum of 6 inches from the sides and 0 inches from the back.
There are no minimum clearances from noncombustible construction.
The Cheese Melter can be installed on a noncombustible counter, with or without 4" legs, or mounted
on a combustible or noncombustible wall: Leg kits and wall mounting brackets are available from your
Vulcan-Authorized Service Office for your model Cheese Melter. If installing the Cheese Melter on a
combustible counter, the 4" legs are required.
