Southbend Infra-Red Broilers are unique in design. They incorporate our exclusive Schwank ceramic tile burners, which
generate infra-red rays that provide better quality products in about one half the broiling time, with less gas input than ordinary
broilers. Very little energy is wasted in heating secondary surfaces, as is necessary in conventional-type broilers.

Since the surface of these tiles becomes red hot in less than one-half minute, the unit is ready to start broiling with a very short
preheat time, thereby saving time, labor and energy.

These glowing surfaces emit intense infra-red rays which are transmitted directly onto the product, thereby yielding better
tasting broiled food in less time.

Use of 100% clean primary air, which is constantly conveyed to these burners, insures efficient combustion and maintains full
production capacity and maximum recovery, even in the severest conditions of grease vapors and smoke atmospheres, which
are created during any broiling process.

The Southbend Infra-Red Broilers provide such speed and recovery that broiling techniques may require some modification in
order to take full advantage of its productive capabilities.

CAUTION: POST IN PROMINENT LOCATION INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE
