INSTALLATION

National Code Requirements

e importance of the proper installation of Commercial
Gas Cooking Equipment cannot be over stressed. Proper
performance of the equipment is dependent, in great
part, on the compliance of the installation with the
manufacturer’s specifications. Installation must conform
to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel code, ANSI Z., Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/GCA-B. or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B., as applicable.

Gas Connections

Before assembly and connection, check gas supply.

A. e type of gas for which the unit is equipped is

stamped on the data plate located on the lower front
frame, simply remove the drip pan for easy access.
Connect a unit stamped “NAT” only to natural
gas; connect those stamped “PRO” only to propane
gas.

B. If it is a new installation, have gas authorities

check meter size and piping to assure that the unit
is supplied with sufficient amount of gas pressure
required to operate the unit.

C. If it is additional equipment or replacement have

a qualified gas technician check the gas pressure
to make certain that existing gas facilities (meter
piping, etc.) will deliver the BTU’s of gas required
at the unit with no more than ½” water column
pressure drop. When checking pressure, be certain
that other equipment on the same gas line is on at
full rate.

NOTE: When checking pressure, be sure that all
other equipment on the same gas line is on. A pressure
regulator is supplied with Garland Infra-Red Broilers.
Regulator is preset at deliver gas at pressure shown on
the rating plate.

D. e appliance and its individual shut off (supplied

by others) must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at pressures in excess of ½” psi (3.45 kPa).

E. e appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual shut
off valve (supplied by others) during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.45 kPa).

F. Gas supply connection is made in back lower left

hand corner of unit. A readily accessible approved
type of hand valve should be installed on each
supply line. Test for leaks – DO NOT USE ANY

OPEN FLAME.

G. A pressure tap plug is supplied with the units and it

is installed on the manifold. e drip pan must be
removed to use the pressure tap. e gas pressure
must be checked when the unit is installed, to insure
that the unit gas pressure is the same as specified on
the rating plate. If necessary, pressure adjustments
must be made at the pressure regulator, supplied on
each Infra-Red Broiler.

NOTE: the pressure regulator is located at the top rear
of the salamander.

H. If it is completely new installation, have gas lines,

meter size piping and piping installed and checked
by a qualified gas technician.

I. Make certain that the new piping, joints and

connections have been made in a clean manner and
have been purged, so that the piping compound,
chips, etc, will not clog pilots, valves and/or
controls. Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to

INSTALLATION Continued

Wall Mounted Salamanders, Cheese Melters
or Counter Mounted Salamander or
Cheese Melters

1. Clearance from combustible construction must be
six inches (6’) minimum at rear and six inches (6”)
minimum at sides.

Each gas appliance shall be located with respect to

building construction and other equipment so as
to permit access to the appliance. Such access and
clearance my be necessary for service and cleaning.

2. All models ending with suffix “C” must be fastened
to the counter top.

3. All models ending with suffix “W” are mounted to
a vertical surface using the mounting kit as shown
below. e salamanders are shipped with the wall
mounting kit already attached to the appliance.

4. Provisions for gas connections, bottom or rear,
should be taken into consideration at time of
installation.

Ventilation and Air Supply

Proper ventilation is highly important for good operation.
e ideal method of ventilation a Salamander Broiler is
the use of a properly designed canopy hood which should
extend six inches (”) beyond all sides of the appliance
and six () feet six () inches from the floor.

A strong exhaust fan will create a vacuum in the room,
for an exhaust system to work properly, replacement air
must enter the room in which the vent is located. the
amount of air which is exhausted must equal the amount
entering, (make-up air).

All gas burners and pilots need sufficient air to operate
and large objects should not be placed in front or on top
of the broiler which would obstruct the air flow through
the front of the broiler.

FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object
on top of the salamander broiler or cheese melters. e
top of the broiler will exceed º F. It could cause
severe burns or fire and obstruct ventilation

Clearances:

From Combustible material ” sides and rear. A clearance
of .” to non combustible construction as sides & rear
is acceptable, for the Salamander, e Cheese melter is
not suitable for installation on a combustible floor.

Part # 1382669 (07/05) Page 11

OPERATION

Pilot Lighting Instructions

1. e in-line service shut-off valve should be in the
“ON” position.

2. With a lighted taper you can now light in the pilots
which are located at the rear of the main burner.

3. Pilot flame should be approximately 7/8” long for
proper ignition of the burners. e pilot adjustment
valve can be located by sliding the drip tray forward.
Adjustment valves are located on the manifold pipe
which runs horizontal across the back of the unit,
behind the drip tray, one is at the left rear and the
other at the right rear.

To adjust the pilot light, turn the brass screw

counter-clock-wise to increase the pilot flame, and
clock-wise to decrease the pilot flame.

NOTE: No more than /” pilot flame length should
be required. Too high a setting will cause the fame to
lift off or will create excessive carboning. Do not adjust
the pilot flame lower than /” long because this can
cause delayed ignition at the burner. e delayed ignition
could cause the burner tiles to crack; in that case the
burner would have to be replaced.

Main Burner Operation

Turn main burner knob to the “MAX” position
immediately check ignition.

Burn off Period

Many parts used in the manufacturing of commercial
equipment have a thin, protective coating of machine
oil. is oil should be burned off before the equipment
is used for food preparation.

After all start-up and safety checks have been completed,
turn burner valve to the “MAX” position. Smoke (a
bluish haze) will be produced. is process can take
several hours and can be completed over a few days

Energy Conservation

Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high
temperature settings during idle periods. Lower settings
will keep broiler warm and ready for next use period.
Reset burner valve knob as required for heavy load
periods

Shut Down Instructions

Turn main burner valve knobs to the “OFF” position.
If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, close the manual in-line service valve off, (manual
in-line service valve is not factory supplied).

FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object on
top of the salamander broiler or cheese melters. e top
of the broiler will exceed º F. It could cause severe
burns and/or fire and also will obstruct ventilation.

CAUTION Should ignition fail after five seconds, turn
valve off and wait five minutes before trying again.
Pilot gas is not interrupted automatically. It is the
responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of
burners immediately after the burner valve has been
turned on.

When ignition has been accomplished, a blue flame will
cover the surface of the ceramics for - seconds. e
haze will disappear and the burner rod will glow red.
After the burners have operated for several minutes turn
the valve to “MIN.” e burner rods will no longer glow
red and the flame travels back and forth on the face of
the burner ceramics.

Main Burner Adjustments

All Salamanders are provided with a fixed burner orifices
to provide , BTU/HR at the “MAX” setting on
propane gas supplied at .” W/C. All Cheese Melters
are provided with a fixed burner orifices to provide
, BTU/HR at the “MAX” setting on natural gas
supplied at a .” W/C pressure and , BTU/HR
at the “MAX” setting on propane gas supplied at .”
W/C.

e “MIN” setting is adjustable and should be set as
follows:

1. Set the burner valve knob to “MIN” setting and
remove the knob.

OPERATION Continued

2. Insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the valve stem
to engage the slot inside the stem. Turn clockwise
to decrease the rate and counter-clockwise to
increase.

Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the
burner rods no longer glow and the flame travels back
and forth on the face of the ceramics.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

A program of proper cleaning techniques will aid in
continued trouble free operation of this or any quality
equipment

Daily

Grid racks should be wiped daily while still warm,
using a heavy cloth or other grease absorbing material
to remove grease and burnt food before they burn into
the grid. Remove burnt materials, such as carbonized
grease or food, with a stiff wire brush. DO NOT USE
ANY TYPE OF STEEL WOOL. Small particles may
be left on the grid surface and get into food products.
Grid racks should be washed thoroughly using a wire
brush and a hot, mild detergent or soap solution. Rinse
with clear, warm water.

Monthly

is adjustment has been factory pre-set, however, with
changing pressures this adjustment and pilot adjustment
may need to be re-done after installation.

is is not considered a manufacturing defect and is
not warrantable.

Exterior Cleaning

Establish a regular schedule. Any spills should be wiped
off immediately.

1. Wipe exposed, clean-able surface when cool with
a mild detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue
spots may be removed with a light weight non­metallic scouring pad. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.

2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild
detergent, a soft cloth and hot water. If it is necessary
to use a non-metallic scouring pad, always rub in
the direction of the grain in the metal to prevent
scratching. Use a water based stainless steel cleaner
(such as Drackett Twinkle), if you want a high
shine.

Lubricate valves and bearings as required. Due to the
usual location of the broiler that is mounted above a
range with open tops, the heat from the open top will
cause the lubrication grease inside the valves to dry out.
When you notice that the valve is becoming harder to
turn it is then time to have them greased. We suggest
an Authorized Service Agent who is familiar with the
appliance and working with natural and propane gas,
to perform this type of work.
