OPERATION Continued
Energy Conservation
Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high temperature
settings during idle periods. Lower settings will keep
cheesemelter warm and ready for next use period. Reset
burner valve knob as required for heavy load periods.
Shut Down Instructions
Turn main burner valve knobs to the "OFF" position. If the
unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time, close
the manual in-line service valve (manual in-line service valve
is not factory supplied).
FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object on top of
the cheesemelter. The top of the cheesemelter will exceed
1000° F. It could cause severe burns and/or fi re and also
will obstruct ventilation.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING if gas odors are detected, the gas supply must
be turned "OFF" at the main shut-off valve and the local gas
company or authorized service agency contacted for service.
A program of proper cleaning techniques will aid in
continued trouble free operation of this or any quality
equipment.
Daily
The rack and rack guides should be wiped daily while still
warm, using a heavy cloth or other grease absorbing material
to remove grease and burnt food before they burn into the
grid. Remove burnt materials, such as carbonized grease
or food, with a stiff wire brush. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF
STEEL WOOL. Small particles may be left on the rack surface
and get into food products. The rack should be washed
thoroughly using a wire brush and a hot, mild detergent or
soap solution. Rinse with clear, warm water.
Monthly
Lubricate valves and bearings as required. Due to the usual
location of the cheesemelter that is mounted above a range
with open tops, the heat from the open top will cause the
lubrication grease inside the valves to dry out. When you
notice that the valve is becoming harder to turn it is then
time to have them greased. We suggest an Authorized
Service Agent who is familiar with the appliance and working
with natural and propane gas, to perform this type of work.

Main Burner Adjustments
All cheesemelters are provided with fi xed burner orifi ces
to provide 15,000 BTU/HR at the "MAX" setting on Natural
Gas supplied at 6.0" WC (15 mbar) pressure or propane gas
supplied at 10.0" WC (25 mbar) pressure.
Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the burner
rods no longer glow and the fl ame travels back and forth on
the face of the ceramics.
This adjustment has been factory pre-set, however, with
changing pressures this adjustment and pilot adjustment
may need to be re-done after installation.
This is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not
warrantable.
NOTE : Burner adjustments should only be done by an
authorized service technician.
Exterior Cleaning
Establish a regular schedule. Any spills should be wiped off
immediately.
1. Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light weight non-metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water. If it is necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the
grain in the metal to prevent scratching. Use a water
based stainless steel cleaner (such as Drackett Twinkle), if
you want a high shine.
