Operating Instructions
Operating the Charbroiler
Prior to operating your new charbroiler, thoroughly wash the exterior with a mild detergent or soap solution. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, since this might damage the cabinet finish. If the stainless steel surfaces become
discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finished grain.
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame
height or temperature. Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set
temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher
temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the
loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.
NOTE: When the charbroiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil (used in manufacturing) and dust (from storage
and shipping) are burned off. An hour at maximum for all burners is usually sufficient.
Radiant Charbroiler
1. Place the angled radiants in their position as shown in 8-1
2. Make sure that the radiants are setting properly into the slots on the front and rear supports. Radiants should be
centered over straight sections of the burners.
Rock Charbroiler
1. Place the racks that hold the rocks into position over
the burners.
2. Place the char rocks on the rack. Do not pile or stack
the char rocks.
3. Please use following amount of char rocks per model:
Set rocks as seen in photo.
GCB15G-RK: 24 pcs
GCB24G-RK: 48 pcs
GCB36G-RK: 72 pcs
GCB48G-RK: 96 pcs
COOKING GRATES
Place the top cooking grates with the grid bars angled
toward the front as shown in Fig. 8-2. Or, place the grid
bars flat, not angled, for cooking.
NOTE: When cooking grates are placed angled toward the
front, the grooves on top will guide the excess fat drippings
into the grease trough.
The cooking grates, cast iron radiants, and char rock grids
are heavy duty cast iron which will oxidize if emerged in
water. Lightly oil grates when not being used regularly.
