salamander and produce a poor quality product. To use this salamander correctly please read the
following sections carefully:-
Lighting the Main Burners.
Racking System.
Cooking Recommendations.
Description of Controls

few minutes for elements to heat up.
Blue Seal salamanders provide two independently controlled heat zones.
High speed grilling is provided by two infrared gas burners in the ceiling of grilling compartment.
The left and right hand gas control knobs operate left side and right side burners respectively,
independently of each other.
Each burner is provided with piezo ignition and flame failure protection for main burner.

Operation
Lighting Main Burners
1. Check gas supply is turned On.
2. Depress gas control knob and rotate anti-clockwise to HIGH position.
3. With gas control knob depressed, press piezo ignition button to ignite main burner.
4. Once lit, main burner will be burning at full rate. For a lower heat, depress gas control knob and
turn fully anti-clockwise to LOW position.
5. For intermediate heat, position control knob between 'HIGH' and 'LOW' positions.
6. Repeat Items 2 to 5 to light second main burner.
Turning 'Off' Main Burners
1. Depress gas control knob and rotate clockwise to OFF position.
2. Main burner will extinguish.
Racking System
The Rack System fitted to Salamander is self-supporting when withdrawn, to allow easy loading of food.
Installation of rack is dependent on cooking function required.

Cooking Recommendations
Do not leave Salamander unattended when in use, as it does cook fast.
Caution
1. The G91B Salamander has been designed to give a good evenness of heat across rack area, so
toasting, cheese melting and grilling should be relatively even wherever food is placed.
2. The HIGH position is recommended for most grilling, cheese melting functions and LOW position for
a reduced heat.
3. For cooking food through rather than just surface browning, rack position three and four from the
top is recommended.
4. With Branding Plate fitted, appliance is able to aid the chef in its ability to produce "medium rare"
steaks in front and "well done" steaks at rear - achieved with the sloped Branding Plate rack
position. (Shelf 2 and 3 from top.).
5. Heating the Branding Plate under burners before cooking commences, also allows "sealed in
flavoured goodness" to be achieved.
IMPORTANT:
Should any abnormal operation like;
- ignition problems,
- abnormal burner flame,
- burner control problems,
- partial or full loss of burner flame in normal operation, be noticed, appliance requires
IMMEDIATE service by a qualified service person and should not be used until a service is
carried out.

Cleaning and Maintenance
General
Always turn ‘Off’ gas supply before cleaning.
This appliance is not water proof.
Do not use water jet spray to clean interior or exterior of this appliance.
Caution
To achieve the best results, cleaning must be thorough, and all controls and mechanical parts
checked and adjusted periodically by a competent serviceman. If any small faults occur, have them
attended to promptly.
Don't wait until they cause a complete breakdown.
Racking
For ease of cleaning of this unit and the racking system and to achieve the best results, it is
recommended that racking is removed completely from unit and cleaned independently. This will
allow for a more thorough cleaning of Salamander.
To remove racking system, carry out the following instructions.
1. Remove Trough Tray from underside of salamander unit.
2. Remove Branding Plate from rack (if fitted).
3. Slide rack out of side racks and remove from unit.
4. Remove left and right hand side racks from unit by removing single securing screw from each
of side racks.
5. Withdraw left and right hand side racks from unit.
6. Refit Racking in reverse order once cleaning has been completed.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean with detergent. Baked on deposits or discolouration may require a good quality stainless steel
cleaner or stainless steel wool. Always apply cleaner when Salamander is cool and rub in direction of
"grain".
Vitreous Enamel Surfaces
Do not use wire brushes, steel wool or other abrasive material. Clean enamelled surfaces regularly
with a good quality domestic oven cleaner. Remove rack and side racks from Salamander - this
allows easy cleaning of flat enamelled side walls. Leave tray in to collect all residue.
Trough Tray
Empty and clean daily.
