SPECIFICATIONS

INFRARED CHEESE MELTER

Sectional range (field mount), wall mount, or countertop cheese melters will be supplied with the appropriate regulator and will require field piping. Restaurant range mounted cheese melters will connect to the existing regulator on the restaurant range oven base.

A model that mounts on the flue riser of a range will have a 3/8" rear gas connection (with a 3/8" male NPT connector) extending through the rear of the flue riser (see Figure 2 on page 7).

Wall-mount and countertop models will have a 3/8" rear gas connection (with a 3/8" male NPT connector). The gas connection can extend directly out the rear of the cheese melter (near the bottom right-rear corner).

Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas, 11" W.C. for propane. If using a flexible-hose gas connection, the I.D. of the hose must not be smaller than the connector on the cheese melter, and must comply with ANSI Z21.69. Provide an adequate means of restraint to prevent undue strain on the gas connection.

If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator must be installed to the outdoors in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, 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.

An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance. A 1/8" pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure the manifold pressure.

Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the cheese melter.

All pipe joints and connections must be tested thoroughly for gas leaks. Use only soapy water for testing on all gases. NEVER use an open flame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after the range has been put into operation. Test pressure should not exceed 14" W.C. (3.47 kPa).
