Operating the Charbroiler-pilot lighting instructions

Before operating Charbroiler, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust
the feet to level the Charbroiler. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot lights on the appliance have been set at factory. Each burner has a pilot
light.

1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.

2. The main gas valve should be “CLOSED/OFF” for five minutes prior to

lighting pilots to clear any exiting gas. (Main gas valve is supplied by
others.)

3. Turn “ON/OPEN” the main gas valve to the unit.

4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. When the flame is

established, remove the ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner
as each burner has its own individual pilot. The pilot can be reached
through the holes in the front of the unit.

5. Adjust the pilot valve， make sure the pilot flame at 1/2 inch height.

6. Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the

Knobs “OFF”, from the opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and

turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will increase the flame
height and repeat step4.
The pilot flame should be as small as possible but large enough to
guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the knobs are turned to

“ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments.

Use a screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the flame height to your
desired level.

Igniting the burner

To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off to the desired
flame level. The range of adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and ”OFF”

The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLCOCK
THIS SPACE.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired
flame height is all that is required to put the unit in service.

Operating Instructions

DUKERS GAS CHARBROILER

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open

windows next to the unit’s sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air

cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to
compensate for the amount of air, removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a
subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and causing
undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system
for the room of area in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit
independent of changing draft conditions.
NOTE: it may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply
to each burner. This must be done by a authorized technician.

Shutdown the burner

To turn “OFF” the appliance completely, turn the gas control knob completely
clockwise to “O” position, the pilot burner will extinguish.

OPERATION THE CHARBROILER

Prior to operating your new charbroiler, thoroughly wash the exterior with a mild
detergent or soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, since this might damage
the cabinet finish. If the stainless steel surfaces become discolored, scrub by rubbing
only in the direction of the finished grain.
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the
knobs to the desired flame height or temperature. Each valve will control the gas
flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set temperature. If
different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at
progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside
burners, A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the unit will produce
the most consistent product results.
NOTE: When the charbroiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil used in
manufacturing, preservation dust from storage and shipping are burned off. An hour
at "max, "on all burners is usually sufficient

Radiant Charbroiler

1. Place the angled radiants in their position as shown in 8-1

2. Make sure that the radiants are setting properly into the slots on the front

And rear supports Radiants should be centered over straight section of the
burners.

COOKING GRATES

Place the top cooking grates with the the grid bars angled toward the front as shown
in Fig.8-2. Or, place the grid bars flat, not angled for cooking.
NOTE: When cooking grates are placed angled toward the front, the grooves on top

DUKERS GAS CHARBROILER

will guide the excess fat drippings into the grease trough.
The cooking grates are heavy duty cast iron which will oxidize if emerged in water.
Lightly oil grates if not being used regularly.

DUKERS GAS CHARBROILER

CAUTION

DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids;
DO NOT hose down immerse or pressures wash any part of the Charbroiler, excluding
the catch tray.
NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing
chlorine, iodine and ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the
stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.
