CERAMIC BRICKS
Standard broilers for use with natural gas are equipped with fixed orifices and a pressure regulator with
a preset outlet pressure of 6" W.C. (water column). Standard broilers for use with propane gas are
equipped with fixed orifices and a pressure regulator with a preset outlet pressure of 10" W.C.
Once the regulator is installed, connect to a
3
/
4
" gas line.
WARNING:
PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed
1
/
2
psig (3.45 kPa), the broiler/range and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When testing pressures are
1
/
2
psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the broiler/range must be isolated from the gas
supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
CERAMIC BRICKS
Remove the grid, drip pan, and the drip pan insert in the broiler. Place ceramic bricks, with projections
down, along the length of the burners. The notches on the burners will properly position the bricks (Fig. 9).
The four wider bricks are placed resting evenly between the center of the two broiler burners. Mount
the remaining eight side bricks, four to the right outer side and four to the left outer side of the burner,
with the brick (L) section resting on the burner ledge.
Fig. 9
Turn on the gas valve and allow any air in the line to be exhausted. When the gas begins to flow, turn
the gas valve off and wait five minutes before lighting the pilots with a match or taper. The burner flame
should be sharp when the broiler is cold, with a blue cone or flame about
3
/
4
" long on natural gas and
1
/
2
" long on propane. The flame will soften out and curl around the ceramic as the broiler gets hot. The
length of the flame is determined by the adjustment of the gas nozzles and the sharpness of the flame
is determined by the air shutter adjustment.
Replace the grid, drip pan, and the drip pan insert in the broiler.
