CAUTION

GAS PIPING

Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be

checked to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases.

WARNING: Any loose foreign material, debris, or metal particles allowed to enter the gas lines on this appliance will damage the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance,

all pipe and fittings must be free from all internal loose dirt.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each charbroiler. It should be connected to the inlet pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6" water column manifold pressure for use with natural gas. Allow 6" clearance from back of unit to wall for servicing and installation.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the charbroiler.

CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE

The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.

PROPANE GAS

This charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orifice hoods, included with the unit, as follows:

1.Remove grill, radiants and burners.

2.Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods supplied.

3.Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.

4.Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on the plug.

6.To turn burners off, turn knobs off.

SHUTTING DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the burner valve knobs to the off position to turn burners off.

BURNER IGNITION AND ADJUSTMENT

1.To ignite burners turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.

2.Slowly decrease openings of air shutters on burners to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly increase openings to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

PLACING LAVA ROCK ON GRATES (FOR TMLC SERIES)

Open the lava rock bags and place rock evenly on grates. Do not cover the grates with more than two layers of lava rock. DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 5 LBS. OF ROCK PER BURNER!

BURNER OPERATION

Each burner is controlled by an individual high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of broiling temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve knob to any position between high and low. It is possible through this arrangement to have a high heat or searing section, while having a low heat finishing or holding section. For the searing operation, set the valves for the section at a position of "HI" or close to it. For holding or finishing, set the valves closer to the "LOW" position on the dial.

You select the heat pattern you like, and set the valves accordingly.
