COMMENT

The char-broiler is INFINITE SWITCH CONTRO LLED. Power is
applied to the heating elements based on the control knob position and
the amount of energy used.

Light will glow when the infinite switch is in any position other that OFF.
The char-broiler element assembly may be raised for cleaning, or to

add water to the drip pan. It is held the “up” position by a support rod
which automatically engages as the element is raised.

The grate is designed to protect the individual elements from food
contact and spatula abrasion, resulting in prolonged element life and
reduced carbonization. The grate is easily removed for cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Always remove the grate before lifting the element
assembly.

Hold element assembly in up position. Engages automatically when the
element assembly is raised.

IMPORTANT: Remember to dis-engage the support rod before
lowering element assembly

The heavy-duty removable drip pan is located under the element

IMPORTANT: DO NOT pour water over elements to refill drip pan.

during broiler operation. Maintain 2 inches of water in the drip pan at all
times during operation of the broiler. The drip pan is easily removed for
cleaning.

phase information, and agency approvals.

The broiler is equipped with WELLSLOKS, uniquely designed turnout
tabs, which help secure the broiler to the countertop. (See Installation
