DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances.
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of a burner ignition failure a five minute
purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.

NOTICE
Southbend Infrared broilers cook food in about half the time of conventional broilers, so adjust cooking times
accordingly.
Southbend
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.
Southbend
radiant
broilers offer durable stainless steel radiants with anti corrosive steel tube burners. Flame from the
burners are distributed over radiant plates providing a penetrating heat suitable for broiling or finishing delicate dishes
The location of the broiler controls and other components are shown in Figure 3 on the following page.
