DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shutoff valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
CAUTION
If the broiler pilots should go out the flow of gas to the broiler burners is NOT interrupted. Consequently, it is the
responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of the burners immediately EVERY TIME the broiler is turned on.
Should ignition fail after 10 seconds, turn off burners, wait 5 minutes, and then try again.
NOTICE
Lang infrared broilers cook food in about half the time of conventional broilers, so adjust cooking times.
Lang infrared broilers are unique in design. They incorporate our exclusive ceramic tile burners, which generate
infrared rays that provide better quality products in about one-half the usual broiling time, and with less gas input than
ordinary broilers. Very little energy is wasted in heating secondary surfaces, which is necessary for conventional-type
broilers.
Since the surface of the ceramic tiles becomes red hot in less than one-half minute, the broiler is ready to start broiling
with a very short preheat time, thereby saving time, labor and energy. These glowing surfaces emit intense infrared
rays, which are transmitted directly onto the product, thereby yielding better tasting broiled food in less time.
The broiler design supplies 100% clean primary air to the burners, ensuring efficient combustion and maintaining full
production capacity and maximum recovery, even in the most severe conditions of grease vapors and smoke
atmospheres, which are created during any broiling process.
Lang infrared broilers provide such rapid speed and recovery that broiling techniques may require some
modification in order to take full advantage of their productive capabilities.
The location of the broiler controls and other components are shown in Figure 3 below.

Broiler Operation
Keep the bottom drip pan in place when broiling. Without it in place, excessive air is
pulled past the burners, reducing temperature and cooking efficiency.
