INFRARED CHEESE MELTER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 1186533 REV 1 (02/06) PAGE 15 OF 28
STEP 2C: ATTACH COUNTERTOP LEGS
1. Install each leg by screwing them into the threaded holes in the bottom of the base.
2. Stand the Cheese Melter on its legs and position to minimum clearances specified on serial tag.

STEP 3: CONNECT GAS SUPPLY
If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified when ordered,
contact the appropriate authorized Blodgett Range Service Representative or the Blodgett Range Service
Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
The Cheese Melter is design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases. The Cheese Melter is shipped
configured and adjusted for the type of gas specified by the purchaser, which is indicated on the serial plate (see
Figure 1 on page 4). Connect the Cheese Melter ONLY to the type of gas for which it is configured and adjusted.
The Infrared Cheese Melter mounts on the flue riser of a range, and either will have a 3/8" rear gas connection (with a
3/8" male NPT connector) extending through the rear of the flue riser (see Figure 2 on page 6), or will have the
optional internal-piping to the front-manifold of the range.
For wall-mount and countertop models, the gas connection (3/8 NPT) extends directly out the rear of the Cheese
Melter (near the bottom-right-rear corner), or (using an elbow) out the top of the Cheese Melter near the top-right-rear
corner.
Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas, 11" W.C. for propane. An internal pressure regulator and shutoff
valve are provided. If using a flexible-hose gas connection, the I.D. of the hose must not be smaller than the
connector on the Cheese Melter, and must comply with ANSI Z21.69. Provide an adequate means of restraint to
prevent undue strain on the gas connection.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator must be installed to the outdoors in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low-pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems
and affect burner-operating characteristics. A 1/8" pressure tap is located on the manifold to measure the manifold
pressure. The supply line to the Cheese Melter should be no smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe on the
Cheese Melter to which it is connected.
