MESQUITE BROILERS

MODELS JMB & JMBR

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The Mesquite Broiler you have purchased derives its name from the fuel it uses – Mesquite.
Mesquite is found in certain areas of Mexico, and besides being a long burning fuel, it also helps
to provide a delicious flavor to the product.

This food processing appliance does not need gas or electricity to broil with. However, to speed
up the firing of the Mesquite to the ready stage, Jade Range has provided a separate “Starter
Lighter” assembly. As shown in Figure 1, the Starter Lighter assembly consists of the following
items:

 Quick disconnect
 Shut-off valve
 Flex hose (connector)
 Starter Lighter

NOTE: Instructions must be posted in a prominent location.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.

WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause damage, injury or death.
Read the installation, operating and maintenance
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing
this equipment.

company immediately may result in their refusal of your claim.

 After checking for damage, examine the markings on the equipment to ensure that type of

plumbed into the gas supply line, at an accessible and convenient position to the appliance,
as shown in Figure 2.
