OPERATION
WARNING:
THE CHEESEMELTER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN
OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE CHEESEMELTER.
CONTROLS
Burner Valve
— the burner valve regulates the flow of gas throughout the
Cheesemelter. Gas flow is increased by turning the valve
counterclockwise. After preheating, the maximum output is not
required. Turn the valve clockwise until the desired
performance is achieved.
Sliding Shelves (Rack)
—
there are three rack positions. Place the shelf on the
rack needed for Cheesemelting. For deeper, longer heat, use
lower positions. For thinner foods, or faster cooking, use top
shelves.
Grease Pan (Drip Tray)
—
the grease pan collects grease and waste. Do not allow
the grease pan to overflow. Empty the grease pan when three-
quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.
Pilot Adjustment Valve
—
regulates the flow of gas to the pilot burner.
LIGHTING, RELIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn gas shutoff valve and burner valve to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes.
2. Turn gas shutoff valve ON. Light the pilot adjacent to the main burner. Adjust the pilot
valve screw until the pilot flame has a slight yellow tip.
3. After the pilot has been established, turn the burner valve to the ON position. The
burner flames may be adjusted, using the air shutters located behind the louvered
panel in the front of the broiler below the burner valve.
4. If the burners fail to light, turn off all valves, wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 1-3.
5. To shut down, turn the burner valves to the OFF position.
PREHEATING
Place the rack in its highest position. Turn the burner valve knob completely
counterclockwise and preheat for 15 minutes.
RECIPE AND RACK ADJUSTMENT
Positioning the Cheesemelter rack is an important factor in the desired product end
results. Position the rack farther away from the burners for thick casseroles and for
melting cheese or butter to avoid drying the product. Position the rack closer to the
burners for bacon, toast and quick heating, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
