To User

RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

Upon receipt of this broiler, inspect it thoroughly for any damage which may have occurred
during shipment. If damage is observed, contact the delivery agency immediately.

Warning!

1. Preparation For Installation: Safe and satisfactory operation of the broiler depends, to a great extent,

upon it’s proper installation. It should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code

Z223.1, these instructions, and applicable State and Local Codes.

Installation must be made by a licensed plumber.

A gas pressure regulator is supplied with your broiler. The regulator must be installed before
connecting broiler to gas supply line. Please note: air vent can plug with grease, thereby shutting gas

supply off. Install regulator in a drip-free area.

The broiler and it’s 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).

The broiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it’s 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).

For radiant-type broilers, radiant tabs drop into holes in the firebox. For lava rock-type broilers, lava
rock grates rest on front and rear support surface of the firebox. Disburse lava rock evenly in one layer
ONLY throughout the firebox area, leaving air spaces. For both types, top grates are notched to secure
grate to lip of firebox gutter.

2. Clearances And Ventilation: This broiler is designed for installation in non-combustible locations with 0

inch clearance from sides and back.

Keep equipment area free and clear from combustibles.

The area in front of, and above the broiler must be clear to avoid obstruction of flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Means must be provided for adequate air supply and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber.

Adequate clearances must be provided in front and sides of the broiler for servicing and proper
operation.

It is important that the broiler be installed under an exhaust hood which is adequate to remove the
products of combustion and cooking vapors. Sufficient make-up air must also be provided to the
space where the broiler is located to replace that removed through the exhaust hood.

3. Gas Piping: Make sure the gas pressure regulator supplied with the broiler is installed correctly.

Connect outlet side of regulator to broiler. The regulator is set at 4 inches w.c. on natural gas and 11
inches w.c. on propane gas. A 1/8” pressure tap is provided on the gas manifold at the front of the
broiler for checking the gas pressure. Please note: air vent on regulator can plug with grease,

thereby shutting gas supply off. Install regulator in drip-free area.

Connect broiler to the gas supply line. Under no circumstances should the gas supply line be smaller
than the inlet pipe on the broiler. A gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas supply line upstream
of the broiler for complete shutdown and service. Use pipe sealant on all pipe joints. Sealant must be
resistant to the action of L.P. gasses.

For proper performance, the broiler must be level. If legs are provided, adjust feet at bottom of legs to
level broiler. If legs are not provided, seal the base of the broiler to the countertop with silicone.

If the broiler is supplied with casters, the installation must be made with a connector that complies with
the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI Z21.69, and a quick-disconnect device
that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41.
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the broiler without depending on the
connector and the quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the broiler movement.
Restraining device should be connected to legs or back of body.

IMPORTANT: Check all gas connections for leaks, using a soap and water solution.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME FOR CHECKING PURPOSES

4. Lighting And Relighting Of Broiler:

A. Turn all burner valves and pilot valves to “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes.

B. Turn on pilot valves and light pilots. Adjust flame height to approximately 1/2”.

C. Turn on burner valves to operate your broiler.

D. For complete shutdown, turn off all valves and the gas shutoff valve located upstream of the broiler.

E. To relight, repeat above procedures.

5. Care And Maintenance:

Contact factory, factory representative, or a local service company to perform maintenance and
repairs. Please Note: Contact factory before any warranty repairs are made.

A. To clean top grate, use warm water, a mild cleanser and wire brush.

B. At least once per day, clean and empty grease pan.

C. Periodically, but not less than once every 3 months, clean burner orifices using warm water and wire

brush. Make sure equipment is cold before removing burners and orifices.
