GAS CONNECTIONS

Installation Personnel: Check all connections and fittings on valves and tubing supplied as a part of this unit to make sure they
did not come loose during shipment. A manual gas valve should be provided upstream within 6 feet of the appliance for
shutting the gas off during servicing. A ground joint union should be provided between the house plumbing and the gas inlet
to the appliance. A gas pressure regulator has been provided as a part of this appliance. It is factory pre-set for natural gas
and is field adjustable for liquid propane gas. All plumbing should be clean and free of burrs and metal chips. All pipe
connections should be made using a pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gases. A drip TEE must be used to
collect any moisture or dirt in the gas. Upon completing the installation of this appliance, all the gas connections must be
checked for gas leaks. Use a solution of liquid dishwashing soap and water to check for leaks.

This installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA-54, National Gas and Propane Installation Code, and CSA-B149.1 as applicable.

The appliance 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). The appliance 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).

Provisions for proper air supply must be taken into account when installing the unit. Care should be taken so as not to
obstruct the area in front, under or in rear of the unit. DO NOT PLACE BACK OF THE UNIT CLOSER THAN 6˝ (153mm) TO A
WALL OR OTHER SURFACES. The appliance shall be located with respect to other equipment so it will have adequate
clearances for servicing and proper operation.

This unit is supplied with four (4) adjustable feet, which must be installed prior to operation. Four (4) threaded openings
are provided on bottom of the unit to accept the threaded portion of the feet. Screw in the feet and tighten them securely.
During operation, check the feet every sixty (60) days to assure that they are tight. Failure to use the feet will void warranty
and could cause unsafe conditions.

Note: Appliance must be installed under a ventilation hood.

START UP

During initial operation, the broiler will smoke until unit preservation oils and impurities are burned off.

OPERATION

Turn valves on high to preheat unit before attempting to broil. Adjust valve to desired heat setting. You will have to
experiment with grate location and valve setting for your meat product needs. It is recommended that the grates be put in a
sloped position to start with. This will allow the grease to run down the grate into grease tray reducing the chance of flare-ups.
Water pans must be checked frequently and water added as required. Hot water vapors rising from the water pans and
through the combustion chamber reduce flare-ups.

CAUTION...CAUTION...CAUTION!
CHARBROILERS ARE HOT!! NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE LOCATION OR REMOVE GRATES WHILE PRODUCTS ARE
COOKING. FLARE-UPS CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY. TURN OFF CHARBROILER AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE OR REPOSITION GRATES.

GRATE LOCATION

Grate may be raised or lowered by adjusting location of grate hooks on back splash. Grate may be turned over for different
grid pattern. Use gloves or potholder to reposition grates.

BURNER ADJUSTMENT

Turn burner valve to high position. Decrease openings of air shutters to give soft blue flame having yellow tips, and then
slowly increase openings to a point when the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Sections of broiler may be set at different temperatures. It is possible to have a high heat or searing section while having a low
heat finishing or holding section. For searing operation, set valves for section on or close to high setting. For holding or
finishing, set valves at lower setting. By experimenting with different settings, you will determine which one will suit your
specific needs.
