2. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface.
Wipe away the excess.
3. Turn all the valves to a low setting and allow the grids to
heat slowly for 30 minutes. Allow the oil to remain on the
cooking surface for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, then
wipe off.
4. Reset valves to your desired operating temperature and
apply a second coat of oil.
Allow the broiler to reach the set temperature, wait an
additional 2 to 3 minutes, then wipe away the excess oil.
The broiler is now ready for use.
NOTE: Unless your products contain a sufficient amount of
fat, the grid racks may require re-seasoning before use to
prevent sticking. Grid racks must be re-seasoned after every
cleaning.
Lighting Instructions
Model (H,S)280 – (18,24,30,36)B
1. One pilot serves two burners and is located between
those burners.
2. Push red spark buttons several times to ignite pilot
burners.
3. Ensure pilots are lit by viewing through pilot view hole on
front of unit.
Model ST280 – (18,24,30,36)B
1. Push in the valve knob and turn counter-clockwise to the
ignition position.
2. While holding the knob fully in, depress the ignitor
button and visually confirm that the pilot lights. If the
pilot does not light, repeatedly press the ignitor button
until ignition is achieved.
3. After the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob in for
at least 20 seconds, then release it. If the pilot goes out,
wait five, (5), minutes, then repeat the procedure.
4. When the pilot is established, push in the valve knob
again and turn it counter-clockwise to the full flame
position, igniting the main burner.
5. For low flame or simmer, push in the valve knob and turn
it to the low flame position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Continued
6. To turn the burner off, push in and turn the valve knob to
the circular “OFF” symbol.
Shut down
1. Turn all gas valves off.
2. If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, turn the in-line service valve to the “OFF” position,
(this valve is not factory supplied).
Range-Match Fryers
Before Operating the Fryer
1. Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested, and the
thermostat calibrated with oil in the fry tank; therefore it
is necessary to clean the fry tank before filling with frying
compound. Use detergent or other cleaning agents with
hot water. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
2. Never operate the pilot or burner with an empty fry tank.
It will only take a few minutes to ruin the tank and void
the warranty.
3. If the fryer is equipped with a cold-rolled steel fry tank,
and is not to be filled immediately after cleaning, coat
the entire tank surface with shortening or cooking oil to
prevent rusting.
Fryer Burner
The burner used in Starfire Range-Match Series Fryers
is a patented design which requires no primary air; so
adjustment of primary air is not possible. When the proper
gas is supplied at the proper pressure, and the ceramic
targets are properly adjusted, combustion will begin about
even with the bottom of the ceramics. The characteristic
sound is a low roar, similar to a blow-torch.
NEVER throttle down the incoming gas in an effort to make
the flame burn directly on the orifice.
Lighting Instructions
1. Before lighting the pilot, fill the fry tank with frying
compound.
2. Turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position. Depress and
turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Wait five
(5) minutes.
3. Turn the control knob to the “PILOT” position.
4. Push the control knob in and press the piezo ignitor.
Continue to hold the control knob in for about 60
seconds after the pilot is lit.
