NOTICE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

General:

The instructions in this manual apply to all XX series and
CH series Broilers.

The XX series may include the following options:

Ceramic briquettes designated by a GS Suffix on the
model number.

Installation:

(a) In USA, INSTALLATION of this broiler must

conform with the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes.

(b) In CANADA, INSTALLATION must conform with

the latest edition of the National Gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable
and/or local codes.

(c) In MASSACHUSETTS, All gas products must be

installed by a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber
or gas fitter. Ventilation hoods must be installed in
accordance with NFPA-96, current edition, with
interlocks as described in that standard.

For units using propane gas, supply lines less than
1/2” inside diameter should not be used, even for a
small unit.

On the XX and CH series, the gas connection is located
on the right rear of the unit.

Be sure to cap whichever side is not connected.

A shut-off valve in a readily accessible location
must be mounted on the gas supply line before
the unit.

When making gas pipe connections, pipe joint
compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gases should be used.

The broiler and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

Acceptable Clearances:

Due to intense heat generated by radiation, these
broilers should be installed in non-combustible locations
only including above the grate level.

Minimum Clearance From Non-Combustible
Construction.

Series Right Left Back

XX 0” 0” 0”
CH 0” 0” 0”

Gas Connection:

The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed
at the gas inlet of each broiler. Each regulator is
adjusted to yield a manifold pressure of 5 in. water
column for natural gas or 10 in. water column for
propane gas. No pressure regulator is required for
propane gas in Canada.

Recommended minimum gas supply lines are listed below

All XX Models CH-4 thru CH-8 CH-10 thru CH-16

3/4” 1” 1 1/2”

The broiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.45 kPa).

Burners:

Check to see that AIR MIXER CAPS on the front of
all burners are tightened and adjusted, allowing half
the opening to show. Install the burners and deflector
shields first following the steps below.

(a) Install all burners with deflector shield assemblies

attached.

(B) Place the front of the burner into the valve

assembly by fitting the center hole of the mixer
cap over the brass orifice.

(c) Drop the rear end of the burner over the burner

support pin on the back of the unit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Radiants:

Mount the “V” shaped radiants over the burners with
each end mounted on special supports on the front and
rear of the chamber. A radiant should be mounted over
each burner assembly.

GS Ceramic Briquettes Option:

The radiants supplied for the GS option are flattened to
allow for the installation of an expanded metal grate. The
grate is installed directly on top of the flattened radiant
burner shield. Ceramic briquettes are installed on the
grate as shown:

Lighting:

Each burner on the base charbroiler has a standing pilot
burner that must be lit before the burners can be lit. To
light the pilot burners:

(a) Turn all broiler valves to the off position.

(b) Remove each top grate and radiant.

(c) Open main gas SHUT-OFF valve (supplied by

customer).

(d) Allow air to bleed from the gas line through the

pilot burners.

(e) Light the pilot burners using a lit taper.

(f) Turn the burner control valves “ON” to light the

burners.

(g) If any burner fails to light, turn the burner valves

to “OFF”, wait five minutes and repeat the above
procedure.

(h) After all burners have been ignited properly, turn

each burner valve “OFF” and allow the unit to cool.
NOTE: Make sure that the pilot burners stay lit.

Figure 1: Typical Ceramic Briquette Installation

Top Grates:

Place a grate over each of the radiants. For normal
operation, the pointed side of the grate is facing up. For
use with foods that require extra support, the flat side
may be used.

On XX Models, grates can be placed on three levels;
two positions are built into the rear of the unit; the third
position requires a special adapter. On CH models, three
positions are already built into the rear of the unit.

(i) Replace radiants and top grates.

(j) Each burner may now be adjusted to the desired

flame size by turning the individual burner valve
handle.

(k) To shut down the unit, turn all valves “OFF”

Wait five minutes before attempting to re-light.

The pilot burners will stay lit until the gas supply
to the unit is turned “OFF”.

Griddle Plate:

Griddle plates should not cover more than 50% of the
BROILING area. Each Griddle Plate fits on top of two
grates (one 4 1/2” and one 6”). It is not necessary to
remove the top grates and radiants before installing the
griddle plate.

XX & CH CHARBROILER OPERATION MANUAL

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Additional Installation Instructions

(a) Keep the area around the broiler free and clear of

combustible materials.

(b) The provision of an adequate air supply to your

broiler is essential. Provide for sufficient outside
air to enter the broiling area and assure that this
airflow is not obstructed.

(c) Air enters the burner area from the front and

bottom of your broiler. Assure that these areas are
kept open and unobstructed.

(d) Servicing is accomplished through the front and

top of the broiler. Assure that these areas are kept
unobstructed for proper servicing and operation.

Installation With Casters

(a) Install the casters with the wheel brakes on the

front of the appliance.

(b) Installation should be made with a connector that

complies with the latest edition of the Standard
for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI
Z21.69 in the USA (CAN/CGA-6.16 in Canada),
and a quick disconnect device that complies
with the latest edition of the Standard for Quick
Disconnect Devices for use with gas fuel, ANSI
Z21.41 in USA (CAN 1-6.7 in Canada) and
adequate means must be provided to limit the
movement of the appliance without depending
upon the connector and any quick disconnect
device or its associated piping to limit the
appliance movement.

Optional Smoker Base

Installation

(a) Remove the grease pans from their rails completely

and set aside.

(b) Unscrew to remove the legs from the broiler.

Discard.

(c) Set the broiler into the base unit. The frame will

fit into the lip around the top of each side and the
back.

(d) Install the #10 self-threading sheet metal screws

around the base into the broiler frame to hold
in place. Each screw requires a 5/32 hole to be
drilled into the broiler frame.

(e) Get the grease pan(s) previously set aside. Insert

a log holder into each pan. Slide the pan into the
bottom of the base.

(c) The restraint should be attached to the legs on

which the casters are mounted.

(d) If disconnection of the restraint is necessary,

the restraint should be reconnected after the
appliance has been returned to its originally
installed position.
