2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the tilting braising
pan is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within
15 days of delivery.
Before installing, 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 or Blodgett.
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 Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable.
1. 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
