INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
Immediately after unpacking the steamer, check for possible shipping damage. If the steamer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) and electrical service agree with the specifications on the rating plate located on the left side panel as you face the front of the braising pan. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer immediately.

Location
The equipment must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The tilting braising pan, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction of 3” (76 mm) from sides and 6” (152 mm) from the rear. The tilting braising pan is intended for use on non- combustible floors.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 36” (914 mm) is required.
The tilting braising pan must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room suitable for the amount of combustion gas feeding the braising pan burners.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the tilting braising pan, and wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the tilting braising pan. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross-currents within the room.

Installation Codes and Standards
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1INFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable.
Ventilation must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with ANSI/NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.

Flue Connections
Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the tilting braising pan. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for “Vapour Removal from Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. (120V units only).

Leveling and Anchoring

Set the appliance in place and level left to right and front-to-back using a spirit level.
Mark hole locations on the floor through anchoring holes provided in flanged adjustable feet.
Remove the appliance and drill holes in locations marked on the floor and insert proper anchoring devices (not supplied).
Set unit back in position and re-level left to right and front to back.
Bolt and anchor appliance securely to the floor.
Seal bolts and flanged feet with Silastic or equivalent compound.

Gas Connections

WARNING
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply until after the gas connection has been made.
CAUTION
The pipe thread compound used when installing pipes must be a type that is resistant to the action of liquified petroleum or propane gases.

All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located under the control panel on the left-hand side.
Connect gas supply to the tilting braising pan. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 3/4” iron pipe with an incoming pressure of approximately 7” W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas or 11” W.C. (Water Column) for propane gas.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the tilting braising pan.
Natural gas and propane gas braising pans are equipped with fixed orifices and no adjustment is necessary. The gas burner manifold is set at 3.5” W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas, and 10” W.C. (Water Column) for propane gas.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Check all connections for leaks using soapy water before use.
After the piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
NOTICE
If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and was not so specified on order, contact the service department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing may void the warranty.

OPERATION

NOTICE
If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and was not so specified on order, contact the service department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing may void the warranty.

Before First Use
Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the interior of the tilting braising pan. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s directions. Rinse thoroughly and drain the pan. Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
CONTROLS (figure 1)
Green Ignition Light …………. Will light when the ignition has occurred.
Red Temperature Light …….. Will light when burners are supplying heat to the tilting braising pan.
Thermostat ………………………. When turned ON, will initiate an electronic ignition system. Temperature settings range from 1 to 10. (See COOKING GUIDELINES in this manual for temperature ranges for settings 1-10.)
Tilt Switch ………………………… Push UP to raise tilting braising pan; push DOWN to lower tilting braising pan.

Start-up Procedure

Open manual gas shutoff valve.
Ensure that the braising pan is in the DOWN position.
Turn on the power switch.
Turn the THERMOSTAT dial to the desired setting. The red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will come on. This will turn on the
electronic ignition which will light the burners.
If the green IGNITION LIGHT does not come on after 30 seconds, turn THERMOSTAT OFF and then ON again for restart.
When braising pan has reached set temperature, the red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will go off and the burners will shut off. The burners will cycle on and off thereafter to maintain the set temperature. The red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will be on when the burners are on and off when burners are off.
If gas supply is interrupted during operation, turn THERMOSTAT dial to OFF position and turn gas supply OFF. Wait for 5 minutes, then repeat Steps 1 through 4 to restart.
Turn power switch and THERMOSTAT to OFF when braising pan is not in use.

CAUTION
If you smell gas during the lighting procedure, immediately shut off the gas supply until the leak has been corrected.
WARNING
In the event of main burner ignition failure, a 5 minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing the ignition source.
