INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(c) Drop the rear end of the burner over the burner
support pin on the back of the unit.
Radiants:
Mount the “V” shaped radiants over the burners with each
end mounted on special supports on the front and rear of
the chamber. A radiant should be mounted over each burner
assembly.
GS Ceramic Briquettes Option:
The radiants supplied for the GS option are flattened to
allow for the installation of an expanded metal grate. The
grate is installed directly on top of the flattened radiant
burner shield. Ceramic briquettes are installed on the grate
as shown:
Figure 1: Typical Ceramic Briquette Installation
Top Grates:
Place a grate over each of the radiants. For normal
operation, the pointed side of the grate is facing up.
For use with foods that require extra support, the flat
side may be used.
On CH models, three positions are already built into
the rear of the unit.
Lighting:
Each burner on the base charbroiler has a standing
pilot burner that must be lit before the burners can be
lit. To light the pilot burners:
(a) Turn all broiler valves to the off position.
(b) Remove each top grate and radiant.
(c) Open main gas SHUT-OFF valve (supplied by
customer).
(d) Allow air to bleed from the gas line through the
pilot burners.
(e) Light the pilot burners using a lit taper.
(f) Turn the burner control valves “ON” to light the
burners.
(g) If any burner fails to light, turn the burner valves
to “OFF”, wait five minutes and repeat the above
procedure.
(h) After all burners have been ignited properly, turn
each burner valve “OFF” and allow the unit to
cool. NOTE: Make sure that the pilot burners stay
lit.
(i) Replace radiants and top grates.
(j) Each burner may now be adjusted to the desired
flame size by turning the individual burner valve
handle.
(k) To shut down the unit, turn all valves “OFF”
Wait five minutes before attempting to re-light.
The pilot burners will stay lit until the gas
supply to the unit is turned “OFF”.
NOTICE
Griddle Plate:
Griddle plates should not cover more than 50% of the
BROILING area. Each Griddle Plate fits on top of two
grates (one 4 1/2” and one 6”). It is not necessary to
remove the top grates and radiants before installing
the griddle plate.
