NSTALLATION

Check the installation of the broiler, as follows:

1.   Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.
2.   Check that the gas connection has been made correctly.
3.   With the broiler in the position that it will be operated, check that the broiler is level (both front-to-back and side-to- 

   

      side).

4.   Check that the appropriate minimum clearances are satisfied (see page 4), including adequate clearance for       

    

      combustion air to enter the sides of the broiler.

5.   Check that there is sufficient clearance in front of the broiler to pull out the broiler rack and bottom drip pan.
6.   Check that adequate ventilation (fresh air supply and hood exhaust) is available to the room in which the broiler will      

      operate.
7.   Wipe clean all surfaces.

PERATION

Check the operation of the broiler, as follows:
1.   Turn gas supply on. Immediately check all gas connections for leaks using soapy water.

2.   Light the pilots. Check that the pilot flames are large enough to extend along the flame carrier to the burner surface. 

      If not, adjust the pilots.
3. 

  Infrared:

 Turn on the broiler burners and check for correct flame appearance and height at both the HIGH and LOW

      settings. When the burners ignite, a blue haze-type flame will cover the surface of the ceramics, but will gradually   

       

      disappear within two minutes. When the burner control is set to HIGH, the ceramics should glow red and the flame               

      on the surface of the ceramics should be barely visible, with little or no blue haze. When the burner control is       

     

      set to LOW, the surface of the ceramics should glow very dull red and the flame should have a blue-haze color. The      

      flame should not flutter or “pop.” If necessary, adjust the burners.

      

Radiant

: Turn the burner control to HIGH and visually check that the burners have ignited. Flames from the tube  

     

      burner will spread over the stainless steel radiants. The stainless steel radiants will glow red within 3 minutes.
4.   Check that gas supply is adequate by simultaneously turning on all burners of all appliances connected to the same      

      gas supply to their highest setting, then again checking that the broiler’s pilot and burner flames have correct        

         

      appearance and height.
5.   Turn off all burners and allow the broiler to cool.

1.    Wipe clean all surfaces.
2.    Unless the broiler is to be placed in service immediately, shut off the gas and electricity supplies.
3.    Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the broiler.
