INSTALLATION

INFRARED CHEESE MELTER

STEP 5: CHECK THE INSTALLATION

Check the installation of the cheese melter, as follows:

1.Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.

2.Check that the gas connection has been made correctly.

3.With the cheese melter in the position that it will be operated, check that the cheese melter is level (both front-to- back and side-to-side).

4.Check that the appropriate minimum clearances are satisfied (see page 4), including adequate clearance for combustion air to enter the rear of the cheese melter.

5.Check that there is sufficient clearance in front of the cheese melter to pull out the cheese melter rack and bottom drip pan.

6.Check that adequate ventilation (fresh air supply and hood exhaust) is available to the room in which the cheese melter will operate.

7.Wipe clean all surfaces.

STEP 6: CHECK CHEESE MELTER OPERATION

Check the operation of the cheese melter, as follows:

1.Turn gas supply on. Immediately check all gas connections for leaks using soapy water.

2.Light the pilots (see page 9). Check that the pilot flames are large enough to extend along the flame carrier to the burner surface. If not, adjust the pilots (see page 20).

3.Turn on the cheese melter burners and check for correct flame appearance and height at both the HIGH and LOW settings. When the burners ignite, a blue haze-type flame will cover the surface of the ceramics, but will gradually disappear within two minutes. When the burner control is set to HIGH, the ceramics should glow red and the flame on the surface of the ceramics should be barely visible, with little or no blue haze. When the burner control is set to LOW, the surface of the ceramics should glow very dull red and the flame should have a blue- haze color. The flame should not flutter or “pop.” If necessary, adjust the burners (see page 20).

4.Check that gas supply is adequate by simultaneously turning on all burners of all appliances connected to the same gas supply to their highest setting, then again checking that the cheese melter's pilot and burner flames have correct appearance and height.

5.Turn off all burners and allow the cheese melter to cool.

STEP 7: SHUT-DOWN AND WIPE-CLEAN CHEESE MELTER

Complete the installation by leaving the cheese melter ready for customer use:

1.Wipe clean all surfaces.

2.Unless the cheese melter is to be placed in service immediately, turn off the gas supply.

3.Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the cheese melter.
