PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Before lighting and operating your Autobroil™, make a quick check of critical items as follows:
1. Remove both side panels and check to see that all parts are in place and that none are damaged.
2. Start conveyor chain and check for proper operation. The conveyor chain should run free and not be catching on
anything.
4
3. The speed of the conveyor chain should be modulated from low to high, and back again without the
chain stopping.
4. Before first use, and after any special cleaning, it is necessary to "season" the broiler chain. This is
done by bringing chain to operating temperature and then (with burner still lit) applying liquid
shortening from a saturated cloth over the full width of the broiler chain while the chain makes 5 or 6
complete revolutions.
5. Check that gas pressure at appliance is correct (see Performance Criteria on Page 6).
6. Check that grease pan is in place under unit (Figure 1).
7. Check that all parts are installed on the unit (see Figure 10).
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
1. Turn exhaust system on.
2. Make sure filters are in place in the hood.
3. Turn conveyor chain on and set speed at approximate mid-point.
4. Remove left side cover.
5. Turn gas control switch on top of Honeywell valve to "ON".
6. The broiler heat switch on the control panel will now cycle the burners on and off. Set broiler temperature controller on left side of control cabinet to (204°C) 400°F (see Item 3 of setting temperature
controller on Page 7).
7. Turn on heat switch. Ignition is electronic (does not require manual lighting of pilot).
8. If pilot flame or burners fail to light turn heat switch off and wait five minutes before attempting to
relight.
SHUT-OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn heat switch off.
2. Wait 30 minutes.
3. Turn conveyor switch off.
4. Turn ventilator off.
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
1. The manifold pressure for each burner and appliance inlet pressure and gas amount is listed below:
Type of Gas - Natural or Propane
Pressure at the Appliance - 6.0-10.0 IWC for Natural
- 11.0 IWC for Propane
5
Manifold Pressure - Low 4.0 IWC; High 5.0 IWC for Natural
- Low 7.0 IWC; High 10.3 IWC for Propane
Total Gas Amount ** - 61,000 BTUH @ 100% High Fire
Manifold pressure is measured by a pressure gauge on the outlet side of the Honeywell gas valve. With
the unit on for at least twenty minutes and the broiler temperature controller set at (204°C) 400°F (see
Item 3 on Page 7), the pressure should be at 4.0 IWC (7.0 IWC for propane). With the broiler
temperature controller set for (427°C) 800°F the high fire pressure is 5.0 !WC (10.3 IWC for propane).
High pressure is adjusted using the regulator in the top of the gas safety valve. Low fire is adjusted
using the gas pressure regulator. See Figure 5 for gas system layout.
2. The burners in the appliance are a special infrared type. All of the air for combustion must be injected
through the Venturis. This makes orifice design and alignment very critical. The orifice design, in
combination with the correct natural or propane gas pressure will result in adequate air aspiration and
mixing. There are no air shutters. No air adjustment is needed. The proper orifice part numbers are
found in Section VII - Replacement Parts.
CAUTION: DO NOT STACK BOXES OR IN ANY WAY BLOCK AREA IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF
VENTURIS OR IN ANY OTHER WAY OBSTRUCT FLOW OF COMBUSTION AIR.
3. Pilot burner flame is fixed and is not adjustable.
4. All burners will be bright orange when burning properly. If a dull red is observed after 30 minutes of
warm-up with a blue flame above the burner face, the orifice is not aligned properly. "Popping," or
burning back at the orifice of the burner, is a result of the burner screen being loose or a faulty gasket
under the burner screen. LP machines may exhibit a light "popping" sound when the unit is turned off;
this is normal.
NOTE: IF BURNER SCREEN IS TORN OR HAS A HOLE, OR IF A GASKET IS LEAKING, THE
BURNER MUST BE REPAIRED. See Figure 4.

SETTING TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER FOR PROPER HIGH/LOW OPERATION-WEEKLY
1. Follow the procedure in Step 3 on Page 7 in order to set temperature control for (204°C) 400°F. After doing this,
turn on the broiler.
2. Allow the broiler burners and conveyor chain to warm up for 60 minutes (with the chain at approximately the
correct speed).
3. Observe the temperature displayed: push "SET" and release to view the "SET POINT." To change set point push
"SET" and, within three seconds, use the arrows to select a new set point. When setting the High/Low for proper
operation, make the set point THE SAME as the observed temperature made after the sixty minute warming.
Broiler High/Low control is now set. The setting should be between (274°C) 525°F and (343°C) 650°F. If not at
least (274°C) 525°F, the high and low gas pressures, as discussed on Page 6 under Performance Criteria, may
require adjustment or the hood exhaust may be excessive. The broiler will work but will cook slower.
4. Place one meat patty on the broiler chain. Based on the appearance of the broiled patty, reset the Digital Speed
Control for the desired broiling quality. (Note: this single patty should be cooked to the maximum degree of the
Minimum/Maximum doneness tolerance.)
NOTE: THE HIGHER THE NUMERICAL VALUE SET ON THE DIGITAL SPEED CONTROL, THE FASTER
THE CONVEYOR CHAIN WILL RUN.
SETTING HOLDING TEMPERATURE-WEEKLY
1. The temperature controller on the front of the unit has been preset at (90°C) 195°F. Push and release the "SET"
button to observe the set point. If this setting has been inadvertently changed, it is necessary to reset the proper
value. This may be done using the arrows on the control within three seconds of pushing and releasing the "SET"
button. Afterwards the actual temperature is displayed.

IV. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Do not touch the broiler section immediately after appliance shut-down. The temperature inside enclosures
is in excess of (260°C) 500°F, which eliminates the need to clean any parts inside the enclosures for
sanitary purposes. Any grease that may build up on the exterior of the enclosures should be cleaned off
with a damp cloth and a minimum amount of detergent. Never use a large amount of water on the
enclosure or allow burner faces to get wet as this could cause premature burner or gasket failure.
Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should oven cleaner be used on this appliance. IT WILL EAT HOLES IN
THE ALUMINUM GAS VALVES AND GAS LINES, CAUSTIC FUMES CAUSE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENT DAMAGE, AND WILL CAUSE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS IF USED TO CLEAN THIS
BROILER.
CAUTION: KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLES.
1. Allow broiler burners and chain to operate for 30 minutes after cooking last patty to burn off excess grease on
broiler components. Then turn the unit off and allow to cool. (This applies every time a meat chain is turned off regardless of what time of day meat chain is shut down - and regardless of how few patties were broiled in the
last 30 minutes, last hour, etc.) This will clean some parts of the cooking chamber. Failure to perform this
procedure daily will result in poor cooking times.
2. Remove all exterior panels except those which are attached with screws. Be careful not to touch any hot internal
broiler components.
3. Remove burners from right side of unit and shake all debris off burners after they cool. DO NOTWASH BURNER AS IT WILL DESTROY GASKET. Brush surface of burner mesh with soft brush.
4. Remove lower burner shields as shown in Figure 8. Brush or scrape residue.
WARNING: THE BURNER AND REVERBERATING SCREENS (LOCATED UNDER THE TOP BURNERS),
ARE MADE FROM INCONEL METAL MESH. THIS MATERIAL DETERIORATES WITH USE.
INSPECT THESE SCREENS DAILY AND REPLACE IF SCREEN IS SEVERELY CORRODED.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN METAL PARTICLES BEING SERVED TO YOUR
CUSTOMERS.
5. Remove the following items and wash with hot soapy water.
Slide InsertFigure 3
*Wire RackFigure 3
*Grease Pan
Conveyor WiperFigure 2
* NOTE: these items may be removed during the 30 minute period.
Figure 3
Figure 1
6. With the conveyor switch ON and heat switch OFF, wire brush the broiler conveyor and, as it cools, wipe
with damp cloth.
7. Scrape deposits from the axles with the axle scraping tool, furnished with each machine as shown in Figure 6.
8. The slide surface (Figure 3) is covered with a teflon sheet. Daily cleaning is necessary. To clean:
Remove slide assembly, then remove teflon sheet by loosening (DO NOT REMOVE) thumb screws on slide (see
Figure 3). Gently wash and rinse sheet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Don't scrub sheet with
coarse materials. All washing should be done on a flush smooth surface, taking care not to fold, crease, or cut the
teflon sheet. DO NOT USE A DEGREASER ON THE TEFLON SHEET. THE TEFLON SHEETS' USEFUL LIFE
WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED IF A DEGREASER IS USED.
9. Remove grease and meat residue from any part of remaining broiler structure where visible. Use a damp cloth
with detergent and a putty knife for best results.
10. After cleaning all removable parts as noted, allow to dry and reassemble.
MONTHLY CLEANING PROCEDURES
1. Turn off gas control knob and disconnect electricity.
2. Remove upper burners, lower burners and screens (only used on natural gas units). These parts are illustrated in
Figure 2.
3. Spread conveyor links open with screwdriver or chain pliers (part #500033). Lift front axle up to make slack in the
conveyor belt, unhook conveyor chain and remove to gain access to lower cooking chamber for cleaning side
walls.
9
4. Remove and clean lower burner shields as shown in Figure 8. This can best be accomplished with a
scraper.
5 Blow out all four (4) burners through the venturi opening. CAUTION: Do not drop burners or get
wet as this may break gasket or add to premature burner failure.
6. Reassemble conveyor chain. Make certain it is not on backward (Figure 6) and CLOSE open links to
match other links.
7. Using a damp cloth, wipe the inside of each burner venturi.
8. Reinstall burner screens, lower burner shields, and burners.
1. Remove conveyor and soak in hot soapy water overnight. The chain is removed by lifting axle up to
produce slack and separating as described in Item 3 above. When replacing chain, make certain the
conveyor is installed per Figure 6. PLACING CHAIN ON BACKWARD WILL CAUSE SEVERE
BINDING PROBLEMS. CLOSE open links to match other links.
2. Lubricate the roller (drive) chain with a few drops of any grade motor or machine oil.
3. Remove and inspect all motor brushes and replace if less than 1/4" is left.
4. Do not remove internal gas lines for cleaning.
5. Clean gas orifices:
• Orifices are passageways directing gas flow into burner. Uneven gas
flow or air to gas ratio is caused by dirty or damaged orifices.
• Orifices are made of brass. Use special care in cleaning—don't gouge
or make gas holes bigger.
• To reach orifices, remove burners.
• Use a pipe cleaner dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean orifices. Swab
until clean; free of carbon build-up. Do not use drill bit; this damages
orifice.
6. INVENTORY THE SPARE PARTS KIT AND ORDER MISSING PARTS AS NEEDED. KEEP A
COMPLETE SET OF PARTS ON HAND AT ALL TIMES.
