INITIAL OPERATION
Initial Pilot Light
WARNING Keep appliances free and clear from
combustibles at all times. When lighting pilots and
checking for burner performance, do not keep your face
close to the burners. The burner may light with a “pop”
and could flash back and cause facial burns.
Initial pilot light is in the following sequence:
1. Turn the manual shut-off valve on the incoming
service line “OFF”.
2. Turn all burner valves “OFF”.
3. Close all pilot adjusting screws (clockwise turn all
the way in).
4. Wait for any accumulated gas to disperse.
5. Open the manual shut-off valve.
6. Apply a lighted match or taper to a pilot burner and
open that pilot’s adjustment screw gradually until
the pilot lights.
7. Adjust the pilot flame for the desired
characteristics.
8. Turn “ON” that main burner and watch to make
sure it lights from the pilot, then turn the burner
“OFF”.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 to light all remaining
pilots.
If only one pilot has gone out, it is not necessary to
follow the entire procedure outlined above. Merely apply
a lighted match or taper to the pilot until it lights, then
adjust the pilot valve. If the pilot will not light, close the
adjustment valve completely, do not use that burner, and
call for service.
NOTE: It may be necessary to re-light the pilots several
times until the new lines are purged of any trapped air
and constant gas flow is attained
Final Preparation
New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory
to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, bacteria,
remaining from the manufacturing process.
They should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water
to remove film residues and any installation dust or debris
before being used for food preparation. The top grates
should be removed and washed before use.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING If gas odors are detected, the gas supply
must be turned “OFF’ at the main shut-off valve and
the local gas company or authorized service agency
contacted for service.
General Cleaning
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer
when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking
equipment is no exception. Your U.S. Range “Regal”
Char-Broiler must be kept clean during the working day
and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day.
Daily
1. Remove the broiler grates. Wire brush them clean
or any encrusted materials and wash in hot, soapy
water. A common cleaning practice is to turn grates
up side-down to burn off encrusted material. Do
not do this with the “Regal”Char-Broiler! The flame
from the burner is shielded by a cast iron radiant
with the result that heat not flame reaches the grate.
It is likely that cooked-on matter will cook in even
deeper rather than burn off.
