The SCB series Char Broiler is a commercial gas cooker intended for the cooking of
meat, seafood, pita bread and stockpot heating. The SCB features ‘flame arrestor’
broiling grates that control fat flare-up and ensure uniform broiling temperatures. The
specially designed cast iron grates have an angled grease trough to ensure all food
waste and fat runs off to enable the equipment to operate at its optimum
performance. The grates are removable to allow the radiants to be quickly and easily
cleaned. The broiling grates are reversible so they can be either flat or angled
depending on the food product being cooked. Steel baffles positioned under each
burner reflect heat up to the radiants and ensure the grease drawer and drip pan
area remains at a relatively lower temperature. The finned heat radiants situated
under the grates control cross draughts within the SCB Char Broiler to maintain a
constant cooking temperature for maximum efficiency and optimum cooking results.
The piezo ignition system enables the appliance to be lit without removing the grates
and radiants. The piezo igniter lights the pilot burner. One piezo igniter is used for
two pilot burners.

The SCB Char Broiler is supplied with adjustable stainless steel legs for bench
mounting

5.0 OPERATING THE SCB SUPER CHAR BROILER.

5.1 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS –PIEZO IGNITION.

It is not necessary to remove the grates and radiants when using the piezo ignition
system. However in certain instances the grates and radiants may be removed.

WARNING! Before attempting to remove the grate and radiants ensure
they are at an acceptable temperature to touch and handle. This will
normally take approximately 3 hours after turning off the main burner.

1. Ensure the gas supply to the SCB is turned
‘on’.

2. Push in and turn the
control knob approximately 30
degrees anti-clockwise to the
ignition point indicated by the

star (*) symbol as shown in
photograph 3.

IGNITION POSITION PILOT
GRATES AND RADIANTS.
PHOTOGRAPH 2.

3. Push and hold the control knob in for approximately 5 seconds to release gas
from the pilot burner jet and then press the piezo igniter. Normally only 2 or 3
‘clicks’ are required to ignite each pilot burner.
Hold the control knob in for 10 to 15 seconds
before releasing. This allows the flame failure
control system to heat up to its normal
operating temperature. If the pilot burner does
not remain illuminated wait three minutes and

try again. This ignition position (*) allows the
pilot light to burn continuously. In a cold kitchen
the heat up time may be longer, up to
20 seconds.

4. If the grates and radiants have
been removed replace them but only
with the pilot jet illuminated. Place the
radiant on the backrest first and then
lower the front.

5. To ignite the main burner, turn the
