SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G350/9 and G350/10 simulated charcoal grills
are part of the Falcon 350 series of equipment. All
individual units comprising the series are of modular
dimensions, enabling suites of units to be installed in
a matching line whether counter-mounted, as are
these appliances, or floor-mounted i.e. ranges and
fryers.
The two models are similar in design, G350/9 unit is
350mm wide and G350/10 is 700mm wide.
G350/10 model has two burners, each individually
controlled by a safety tap: ignition being manual by
means of a taper. The G350/9 unit has a single
burner. The heat inputs are 19.2kW (70,000 Btu/hr)
and 9.6kW (32,750 Btu/hr) respectively.
The cooking surface consists of a number of cast iron
brander bars. (Three on G350/9 and Six on G350/10),
which can be used in any of four positions by
adjusting tilt handles and turning bars over.
During cooking process, excess fat is drained down
grooves in the bars into a removable fat drawer at
bottom of unit. Behind fat drawer is a removable drip
tray which collects lava rock remnants, food particles
etc.

SECTION 2 - LIGHTING and OPERATIONS
SETTING THE LAVA ROCK
Lava rock, sufficient for one filling, is supplied with
each appliance. It is important only to use lava rock
as supplied by Falcon.
DO NOT attempt to use ordinary charcoal etc.
Brander bars are lifted out to expose grates which will
carry the lava rock. Do not tip contents of bag of rock
on to grates. Place a single layer of lava rock over
grates. Spread evenly leaving spaces (as shown in
Figure 3) between pieces and covering entire grate
area. Discard any small chips of rock, as they may
lodge between grates and block heat flow. Excessive
rock will result in much of the gas burned being used
to overheat grates causing them to distort, or burn out
prematurely.
Important Note
Do not tip contents of the bag of rock directly onto
grates. The dust, which accumulates naturally at bag
bottom during shipment, must be discarded as it will
clog burner ports and affect performance.

BRANDER BARS
Brander bars, fitted in a set of three/six, have integral
drain channels (see Figure 4) which run fat released
during cooking into a collecting trough at front and
hence down to removable fat drawer.
Figure 4
The bars can be inverted i.e. they can be used with
rear flange facing down or up. Additionally, front ends
of bars can be positioned at two alternative heights by
manipulating tilt handles (see Figure 5).
