ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:
ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH, THE
OPERATION OF COMMERCIAL GAS COOKING EQUIPMENT. HOWEVER, TO ASSURE
YOUR CONFIDENCE, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR
RELIABLE SERVICE, DEPENDABLE ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCES, AND FOR
GENUINE FACTORY PARTS.

WARNING:
DISCONNECT POWER FROM APPLIANCE EQUIPPED WITH CONVECTION-TYPE OVEN
HAVING A RADIANT BROILER MOUNTED TO APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING OR
SERVICING, IF APPLICABLE.

In case of problems in operation at initial installation, check type of gas and manifold pressure and compare with
information listed on the serial plate, located on interior bottom, at center towards front under grease pan.

PILOTS:

1. Locate pilot valve on bottom of unit near the front edge. It is inside the unit and can be seen through a small hole.

2. Turn slotted screw on valve until pilot achieves ignition of both burners. If pilots are turned to high, soot will

begin to form on ceramics above pilot flames. Pilot flames should be approximately 3/4" in length.

BURNERS:

1. To adjust burner air shutters, first observe burner flames:

A. If flames are lifting off the burner ports, air shutter must be closed.
B. If flames have large yellow tips or are sooting ceramic tiles, air shutter must be opened.

2. Turn off burners and allow to cool.

3. Remove ceramic tiles around burner requiring adjustment.

4. Remove burner.

5. Loosen air shutter screw and adjust air shutter as per Step 1 above.

6. Tighten screw.

7. Re-install burner.

8. Replace ceramic tiles.

9. Light burner and observe flame.

10. Repeat this procedure, as necessary, to obtain a stable blue flame with a slight yellow tip.

ORIFICE ALIGNMENT ON INFRA-RED BROILERS

MODELS: 170, 171, 270, 171-40

Please insert in the BR - Broiler and Cheese Melter Section of your master
Southbend Service Manual.

In the past it was concluded that it was not required to use an orifice

elbow "nut" in the installation of the orifices on Infra-Red Broilers. This
conclusion was made in error. Without the nut in place there is not enough thread
surface on the elbow to maintain good orifice alignment.

Symptoms are poor combustion or blue haze on the burner, it would not be
possible to properly adjust the unit with the air and/or low setting adjustments on
valve.

BULLETIN

To correct this situation order and install:
Orifice Elbow Nut - Part Number 58-00002 - List Price $.50
