OPERATION
IV.
After the burners have operated properly on HIGH for several minutes, turn the valve to LO. The surface of the
ceramics on the burner should become a very dull red, with a slight blue haze. The burners should NOT flutter
or "POP" under these conditions. For regulation of the LO setting, refer to this item under ADJUSTMENTS.
V. UNIT WITH WARMING OVEN ABOVE THE BROILING SECTION:
As an option, an electric element can be installed in this oven at the factory.
To check element, turn switch above warming oven door to ON. Element should become dull red in a few
minutes.
DAILY OPERATION: (Broiling Section)
Put the broiler into operation by the following procedure:
1. The pilots should have remained ignited from the installation initial checkout, howe ver, it is good practice to
always check if they are burning before proceeding.
2. Press the blower switch to ON.
3. Turn the broiler burner valve on the section desired for use to HIGH.
CAUTION:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE BROILER BURNERS SHOULD BE VISUALLY OBSERVED
FOR PROPER IGNITION
EACH
TIME UNIT IS PLACED IN OPERATION. THIS SAFETY
CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE OBSERVED FOR ALL OVER-FIRED BROILERS. SHOULD
IGNITION FAIL AFTER 5 SECONDS, TURN BROILER VALVE OFF AND WAITS MINUTES
BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.
4. When the burners ignite, a blue flame will cover the surface of the ceramics for 10-15 seconds. This haze will
disappear and within 30 seconds the ceramics will glow red. The flame on the surface of the ceramics should be
barely visible, with practically no blue haze.
5. Put the broiler rack at its highest position and allow the burners to operate for five minutes.
6. The broiler is now ready for use. For best results, follow techniques
under COOKING HINTS.
NOTE: The front 3" of the broiler rack may be used as a holding area.
This holding area is marked by a 1/8" dia. rod as shown — see
Fig. 9.
TO CONSERVE GAS ENERGY:
The "LO" setting can be used to
advantage during slack periods between broiling operations; when
turned back to "HI," the ceramics will change to a bright red within
seconds and be ready for fast broiling. During this down period, bring
the broiling rack to its highest position. This method will keep it hot and
the rack will be "ready" to sear and "mark" the steaks without additional
preheating.
Each broiler section is controlled by two valves.
A. On "A" suffix units, the right valve controls the three burners on the right and the left valve the three on the
left.
B. On "D" suffix units, the right valve controls the two burners on the right and the left valve the extreme left
burner only.
Use only as many burners as required to conserve energy.
