OPERATION
Grid Rack Seasoning Instructions
To insure long life and service, it is imperative that the
cooking surface be carefully broken in or seasoned in the
following manner:
1. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water and a mild detergent or soap
solution. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Apply a thin coat of olive oil or other high grade salt free
cooking oil to the cooking surface. Wipe away excess.
3. Turn all valves to a low setting and allow grid racks to
heat slowly for thirty (30) minutes. Allow oil to remain on
cooking surface three (3) to four (4) minutes, then wipe off.
Installation of Briquettes and Steel Rods
Briquettes
To ensure the best performance, the briquettes must be
positioned correctly. Place the briquettes on the media
grid approximately 1/2” apart. This small space is essential
for consistent cooking.
For best even heat cooking results, it is recommended that
the correct amount of briquettes be installed on a broiler.
The quantities are listed in the following table.

INSTALLATION Continued
Steel Rods
Broilers supplied with eighteen (18) steel rods are 18”, 24”, 30”
and 36” models. Thirty six (36) steel rods are supplied with
the 48”. The 18” model uses 15” rods, the 24” and 48” models
use rods that measure 21” long, the 30” model use a 26” rod,
and the 36” models use a 31” rod.
Ventilation
A good ventilation system is important for satisfactory
performance and it is recommended to install the broiler
under a power vented canopy.
Local and/or National Codes dictate the need of ventilation
system to be used with this type of equipment. The following
information is provided to give examples of available
ventilation system concepts.
Two basic types of power ventilations are in use today. One
type is the overhead hood or canopy and the other is the
under shelf exhaust system. The latter offers simplicity of
installation and minimum cleaning expense. Both require
flame-proof filters for easy grease removal.
The ventilator must be connected to a duct of suitable size
with an exhaust blower capable of removing a minimum of
325 CFM’S of air per square foot of broiler surface.
4. Reset valves to desired operating temperature and apply
a second coat of oil and leave for two (2) or three (3)
minutes after grid rack reaches temperature. Then wipe
off surplus.
Your broiler is now ready to use.
NOTE: Unless products contain sufficient fat, grid racks must
be seasoned before each use. Re-season after thorough
cleaning of the cooking surface.
Lighting Instructions
1. One pilot services two (2) burners and is located between
these burners.
2. Remove the grid rack above the pilots and possible one
or two of the briquettes in the area of the pilot.
