agrees within the limits of this warranty, to make all
repairs at no charge. This warranty does not apply to
damages resulting from accident, misuse, abuse or
alteration.

SAFETY INFORMATION TERMS: The following terms are used to identify hazards, safety precautions or special

notations and have standard meanings throughout this manual. When you see the safety alert symbol and one of the
safety information terms as shown below, be aware of the hazard potential.

INSTALLATION

Wiring: All units are shipped wired for single phase

current. If 3-phase current is needed, wiring instruc­tions are displayed on wiring cover directly under the
large grease hopper. USE COPPER WIRE ONLY (75o
C min.) FOR POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS.
Ventilation: Do not install broiler closer than 9" to back
or side walls. LEGS SHIPPED WITH THE UNIT MUST
BE INSTALLED. Minimum leg height, with no block­age around the bottom of the broiler, must be main­tained for proper ventilation. FAILURE TO INSTALL

OR REMOVAL OF THE LEGS IS A VIOLATION OF
THE APPROVAL SEALS AND VOIDS THE MANU­FACTURER'S WARRANTY.

 Remove the leg channels packed in the broiler. The
leg channels are two long pieces of U-shaped steel
designed to prevent
warping of the broil­er frame when the
broiler is moved by
sliding on its legs.
 Prop the broiler
up and line up the
holes in one of the
leg channels over
the holes for the
weld nuts on the
front end of the
broiler.
 Screw two of the legs provided into the weld nuts to
attach the legs and hold the leg channel in place.
 Repeat procedure for the rear legs.

OPERATION

All units will reach proper broiling temperature with a switch
setting of 5 to 51/2. This setting will yield between 500o and
550o. The unit will reach broiling temperature in approximate­ly 6 to 10 minutes. Any attempt to broil for long periods of
time with the controls above 6 may cause meat to burn.

NOTE: Always clean the unit starting at the top and working down. Be sure that the grease
hopper and grease pan are in place before you proceed with any cleaning procedure in
order to prevent any scrapings or grease from dropping into the base and onto electrical
wiring and terminal blocks.

 With normal use of the broiler, deposits build up on the top and bottom of the grate. In
order to assure safe operation, these deposits must be cleaned periodically during the day
from both the top and underside of the grill or grate casting.

a. To clear the top of the casting, scrape each groove with the tip of the scraper provided

until the surfaces are clear.

b. To clear the underside of the casting, insert the scraper head through the slots of the

grill and turn the scraper handle parallel to the grooves. Pulling upward, scrape
deposits from the grill underside. Repeat for each groove.

c. Empty grease pan periodically to avoid messy overflow.

DAILY AS REQUIRED

 When broiling is finished for the day clean as follows:

a. Clean deposits from the top and bottom of the grate as explained above.
b. Empty the hopper, clean and reinsert hopper.
c. Turn unit to "HI" and leave on for approximately45 minutes. This will char the

remaining grease on the grill casting.

d. Turn off controls. When grill is cool, scrape the underside again and wire brush the

surface to complete cleaning of the grill.

e. Remove and clean the side splash guards and rear trough. Wash the front and rear

wells and wipe along the sides.

f. Wipe the casting with a dry clean cloth -- do not use water or detergent on the

castings.

g. Empty and clean the grease pan.

AVOID ERROR IN PARTS SELECTION. When ordering, use complete Ember-Glo part
number and description. Furnish model number, bill of material number and date code or
serial number from specification plate.
