HEAVY DUTY GAS CHARBROILER OPERATION MANUAL

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
European Community:
If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be
done by a factory authorized and trained technician who
should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard
against un-authorized tampering by the end user.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning
the valve to the desired flame height is all that is required
to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever
possible, avoid open windows next to the units’ sides
or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-
currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed
to enter the room to compensate for the amount of
air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a
subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting
operation and causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the
heart of the ventilating system for the room or area
in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit
independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves must be checked and lubricated periodically.
This must be done by an authorized service
representative in your area.
Lighting Main Burner:
Since the burner is lit from constantly burning pilot, turn
knobs to “HI” to put the unit in operation; then adjust to
any desired position between “LO” and “HI”.
• To light burner, turn knob to “MAX” then back off to
the desired flame level. The range of adjustment is
virtually infinite between high and off. (At the small
flame, there is a pre-set low).
• When the broiler is first heated, it will smoke until
oil used in manufacturing, preservation and dust
from storage and shipping are burned off. An hour at
“MAX” on all burners is usually sufficient.
• Turn knobs off and let cool.
• For first cooking, set the grates at maximum tilt
position and preheat before broiling. You will have to
experiment with knob settings and grate position for
each particular item.
• Keep the grease/water pan with sufficient water to
cover the entire bottom.
• Clean regularly. Grates may be removed for washing
in the sink. Brush out carbonized particles.
Thoroughly wash the grease/water pan.
Never attempt to move a grill section while cooking.
An unexpected flare could cause severe injury. Turn
off the unit, let it cool and use potholders and/or
gloves to reposition or remove. The space between
the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO
NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
CAUTION
Main burner air supply:
For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas
volume and primary air supply must be maintained
which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air
supply results in a yellow streaming flame. Primary air
supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the
burner.
Loosen the screws on the front of the burner, and adjust
the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips of the
burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening
the screws.
