MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
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.
A program of proper cleaning techniques will aid in
continued trouble free operation of this or any quality
equipment.
Daily
The broiling rack should be wiped daily while still warm,
using a heavy cloth or other grease absorbing material to
remove grease and burnt food before they burn into the
grid. Remove burnt materials, such as carbonized grease
or food, with a stiff wire brush. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF
STEEL WOOL. Small particles may be left on the rack surface
and get into food products. The rack should be washed
thoroughly using a wire brush and a hot, mild detergent or
soap solution. Rinse with clear, warm water.
Monthly
Lubricate valves and bearings as required. Due to the
usual location of the broiler that is mounted above a range
with open tops, the heat from the open top will cause the
lubrication grease inside the valves to dry out. When you
notice that the valve is becoming harder to turn it is then
time to have them greased. We suggest an Authorized
Service Agent who is familiar with the appliance and working
with natural and propane gas, to perform this type of work.
Exterior Cleaning
Establish a regular schedule. Any spills should be wiped off
immediately.
1. Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light weight non-metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water. If it is necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the
grain in the metal to prevent scratching. Use a water
based stainless steel cleaner (such as Drackett Twinkle), if
you want a high shine.
OPERATION Continued
Energy Conservation
Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high temperature
settings during idle periods. Lower settings will keep broiler
warm and ready for next use period. Reset burner valve knob
as required for heavy load periods.
Shut Down Instructions
Turn main burner valve knobs to the “OFF” position. If the
unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time, close
the manual in-line service valve (manual in-line service valve
is not factory supplied).
FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object on top of
the salamander broiler. The top of the broiler will exceed
1000° F. It could cause severe burns and/or fi re and also
will obstruct ventilation.
Main Burner Adjustments
All salamanders are provided with fi xed burner orifi ces to
provide 20,000 BTU/HR at the “MAX” setting on Natural
Gas supplied at 6.0” WC (15 Mbar) pressure or propane gas
supplied at 10.0” WC (25 Mbars) pressure.
The “MIN” setting is adjustable and should be set as follows:
1. Set the burner valve knob to “MIN” setting and remove
the knob.
2. Insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the valve stem
to engage the slot inside the stem. Turn clockwise to
decrease the rate and counter-clockwise to increase.
Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the burner
rods no longer glow and the fl ame travels back and forth on
the face of the ceramics.
This adjustment has been factory pre-set, however, with
changing pressures this adjustment and pilot adjustment
may need to be re-done after installation.
This is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not
warrantable.
NOTE : Burner adjustments should only be done by an
authorized service technician.
