LIGHTING THE PILOT
The manifold units are equipped with standing pilots and each should be lit immediately after the gas
is supplied to the equipment.
1. Before attempting to light the pilots, turn off the main gas valve to the equipment and wait 5 minutes to clear
the gas.
2. Turn off all gas control knobs.
3. Turn on control valve and light all pilots.
4. The pilot burner must be lit from the top. Hold an ignition source and light the pilot. When the flame is
stable, remove ignition source.
5. Turn off the main gas valve to shut down the equipment.
There is one pilot for each burner. The charbroiler is equipped with standing, unmonitored pilots. Gas will flow
from the pilots as soon as the main gas supply to the unit is turned on. Standing pilots should be adjusted to
provide a slight yellow tip on the flame. Air shutters on the main burners must be individually adjusted to provide a
blue flame. All traces of yellow should be adjusted out of the burner flame.
The charbroiler is a free vented appliance. All products of combustion and the heat generated by the burners
pass through the grates. When meat is placed on the grates, this blocks the venting and causes a temperature
build-up.
PILOT FLAME HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
• The pilot flame on the equipment has been factory adjusted. When adjustment is necessary, adjust the pilot
flames as small as possible but high enough to light the burner immediately when the burner valve is turned to
the highest setting. Access to the pilot flame adjustment screw is obtained through the holes in the front panel
BURNER ADJUSTMENT:
• Remove the front panel to gain access. Turn burner valve knob to highest setting. Slowly decrease the air
shutters to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips. Then slowly increase opening to a point where the
yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.
PREHEATING THE CHARBROILER
Allow the charbroiler to preheat for 30 minutes. Rub grates with cooking oil before using
After 30 minutes of burn-in, equipment is ready for use.
