Install the braising pan in a well ventilated room for efficient performance. Remove
any items which might obstruct or restrict the flow of air for combustion and
ventilation. Clear all combustible material from the area directly around the unit.
1. Installation on combustible floors is allowed. Ensure minimum clearance to
combustible and noncombustible construction.
2. Install the unit under a vent hood.
3. Level the unit by adjusting the bullet feet or floor flanges on the legs. Be sure
the tilting mechanism has been turned all the way to the horizontal position.
Check levelness with a spirit level set on the bottom of the pan body. Anchor the
rear legs securely to the floor if floor flanges are ordered or required.
4. Complete piping to the gas service with 3/4” inch IPS pipe or approved
equivalent.
5. For unit on casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies
with the standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 - CSA
6.16. Restrain movement of the unit by attaching a cable or chain to the eyelet
provided at the back of the frame and anchor the cable or chain to the wall or
floor. Make the length and location of the cable such that the unit cannot pull on
the gas connection while the cable is connected or quick-disconnect.
6. The gas connection for a unit on casters must be made with a quick-disconnect
device that complies with ANSI Z21.41 - CSA 6.9.
7. For electronic spark ignition, provide 115VAC, 60 HZ, 1 phase, 5 AMP electrical
service to the field wiring control box at the rear of the electrical console. AN
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED. The unit must be electrically ground 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.
8. Installation must conform with local codes or with the American National
Standard Z223, latest edition, National Fuel Gas Code. The pan should be
installed in an adequately ventilated room with a provision for adequate air
supply to the unit. The best ventilation will use a vent hood and exhaust fan. DO
NOT obstruct the flue or vent duct after installation. In Canada, installation must
conform to CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes for Gas Appliances and Equipment
and/or local codes.
