INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Radiants:
Mount the “V” shaped radiants over the burners with
each end mounted on special supports on the front and
rear of the chamber. A radiant should be mounted over
each burner assembly.
GS Ceramic Briquettes Option:
The radiants supplied for the GS option are flattened to
allow for the installation of an expanded metal grate. The
grate is installed directly on top of the flattened radiant
burner shield. Ceramic briquettes are installed on the
grate as shown:
Figure 1: Typical Ceramic Briquette Installation
Top Grates:
Place a grate over each of the radiants. For normal
operation, the pointed side of the grate is facing up. For
use with foods that require extra support, the flat side
may be used.
On XX Models, grates can be placed on three levels;
two positions are built into the rear of the unit; the third
position requires a special adapter. On CH models, three
positions are already built into the rear of the unit.
Lighting:
Each burner on the base charbroiler has a standing pilot
burner that must be lit before the burners can be lit. To
light the pilot burners:
(a) Turn all broiler valves to the off position.
(b) Remove each top grate and radiant.
(c) Open main gas SHUT-OFF valve (supplied by
customer).
(d) Allow air to bleed from the gas line through the
pilot burners.
(e) Light the pilot burners using a lit taper.
(f) Turn the burner control valves “ON” to light the
burners.
(g) If any burner fails to light, turn the burner valves
to “OFF”, wait five minutes and repeat the above
procedure.
(h) After all burners have been ignited properly, turn
each burner valve “OFF” and allow the unit to cool.
NOTE: Make sure that the pilot burners stay lit.
(i) Replace radiants and top grates.
(j) Each burner may now be adjusted to the desired
flame size by turning the individual burner valve
handle.
(k) To shut down the unit, turn all valves “OFF”
Wait five minutes before attempting to re-light.
The pilot burners will stay lit until the gas supply
to the unit is turned “OFF”.
NOTICE
Griddle Plate:
Griddle plates should not cover more than 50% of the
BROILING area. Each Griddle Plate fits on top of two
grates (one 4 1/2” and one 6”). It is not necessary to
remove the top grates and radiants before installing the
griddle plate.
