GAS CONNECTIONS (See Fig. 2)
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
Connect a / " (nominal) gas supply to the braising pan. Recommended incoming gas line pressure is 7"

W.C. (Water Column) (48.3 kPa) for natural gas or 11" W.C. (75.8 kPa) 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 manifold is set at 3.7 W.C. (Water Column) (25.5 kPa) for natural gas and 10" W.C. (68.9 kPa) for
propane gas.
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 piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
The electrical control circuit must be connected (see CONTROL CIRCUIT POWER CONNECTION in this
manual).

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed / psig (3.45 kPa), the tilting braising pan and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are / psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the tilting braising pan must be isolated from the gas

supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

VENTILATION

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.
From the termination of the braising pan flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system, an 18"
(46 cm) minimum clearance must be maintained. The flue is not to be directly connected to the ventilation
system.
Local jurisdictions may require a ventilation system to exhaust the steam from this appliance. Clearance
should be provided for the lid to be raised without interference with the hood. A ceiling that is too low may
not allow for an installation of a hood to meet this requirement.
CONTROL CIRCUIT POWER CONNECTION — GAS BRAISING PANS (See Fig. 2)
Appliances equipped with a flexible electric supply cord are provided with a three-
prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do
not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
