GAS CONNECTIONS
Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
Location of the gas inlet is at the top right rear corner of the top panel. Codes require that
a gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas line ahead of the Cheesemelter.
Use a ¾” NPT gas supply line for the cheesemelter inlet. All flexible and semi-rigid gas
supply lines must comply with the applicable ANSI standard. To ensure maximum
operating efficiency this appliance must be connected with a gas supply line of solid pipe
or a commercial type Flexible Connector with the net inside diameter (I.D.) as large as or
larger than the gas pipe inlet on this appliance.
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.
Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
After checking for leaks all lines receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
Maximum line pressure for natural and propane gas is 14" W .C. Minimum line pressure is
7" W .C. for natural gas and 11" W .C. for propane gas.
Special Hi-Shelf Mounting
If the Cheesemelter is to be mounted over a Gas
Range, a reinforced hi-shelf designed to support the
weight of the cheesemelter is required.
1. Remove the knockouts on the bottom of the unit to
expose the threaded attachment points.
2. Place and align Cheesemelter on top of shelf
brackets; place the back of the unit flush with the
rear of the shelf.
3. Align holes in the shelf(may be necessary to drill
holes) with the threaded attachment points on the
bottom of the cheesemelter.
4. Secure che
esemelter into place with four 3/8”-16
bolts(not included) . Thread the bolts through the
shelf and into the threaded attachment points on the
bottom of the cheesemelter.
