This appliance, its pressure regulator and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG. This
appliance and its pressure regulator must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 PSIG. For your protection, we recommend
a qualified installing agency install this appliance. They
should be familiar with gas installations and your local
gas requirements. In any case, your gas company
should be called to approve the final installation. In
addition, there should be posted, in a prominent
location, detailed instructions to be followed in the
event the operator smells gas. Obtain the instructions
from the local gas supplier.

GAS PIPING

Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to
provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the full gas
input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected
to existing piping, it shall be checked to determine if it
has adequate capacity. Joint compound (pipe dope)
shall be used sparingly and only on the male threads of
the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to
the action of L.P. gases. WARNING: Any loose dirt or
metal particles which are allowed to enter the gas lines
on this appliance will damage the valve and affect its
operation. When installing this appliance, all pipe and
fittings must be free from all internal loose dirt.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each
charbroiler. It should be connected to the inlet pipe at
the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected
to it. It is shipped set for 6" water column manifold
pressure for use with natural gas. Allow 6" clearance
from back of unit to wall for servicing and installation.

CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE

The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory
to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until
the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Soap and water solution or other material acceptable
for the purpose, shall be used in locating gas leakage.
Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition
shall not be used for this purpose. Check entire piping
system for leaks.

PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The charbroiler is equipped with standing pilots and
should be lit immediately after the gas is turned on.

1. Turn off main valve to unit and wait 5 minutes to
clear gas.

2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves.

3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.

4. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.

5. To turn burners off, turn knobs off.

SHUTTING DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn the burner valve knobs to the off position to
turn burners off.

PILOT LIGHT REGULATION

The pilot lights on this broiler have been turned off at
the factory. Adjust pilot light flames as small as possible,
but high enough to light burner immediately when
burner valve is turned on high.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream
from the manifold and within six feet of the charbroiler.

PROPANE GAS

This charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods
and is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
To convert to propane gas, install the burner orifice
hoods supplied behind the front panel as follows:

1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.

2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the
orifice hoods supplied.

3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.

4. Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column.
A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be
removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove
the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the pressure
regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The
letters "LP" should now be visible on the plug. The
regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water
column. Attach the conversion label, supplied
with the unit, close to the nameplate.

BURNER OPERATION

To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI"
position. Each burner is controlled by an individual
high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of broiling
temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner
valve knob to any position between high and low.

BURNER ADJUSTMENT

1. Turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.

2. Slowly decrease openings of air shutters to give a
soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly
increase openings to a point where the yellow tips
disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

EXHAUST CANOPY

Open hearth broilers inherently create a good deal of
heat and smoke and should be installed under an
efficient exhaust hood with flame proof filters. A
vertical distance of not less than 48" shall be provided
between the top of the appliance and filters or any
other combustible material.

4

AIR SUPPLY

Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LIGHTING

When broiler is first lit, it will smoke until the
preservation oils and impurities are burned off.

ADJUSTING HEAT PATTERN

It is possible through this arrangement to have a high
heat or searing section, while having a low heat finishing
or holding section. For the searing operation, set the
valves for the section at a position of "HI" or close to
it. For holding or finishing, set the valves closer to the
"LOW" position on the dial. You select the heat
pattern you like, and set the valves accordingly.

BROILING

Turn valves on and pre-heat unit on "HI" before
attempting to broil. You will have to experiment with
the grill settings and the valve settings for your particular
meat products. We recommend that you set the grate
at the full tilt position to start with. This position allows
the grease to run down the grate into the grease tray,
reducing flare ups. Check water pans frequently and
add a sufficient amount of water when necessary. Hot
water vapors rising from the water pans and through
the combustion chamber helps reduce flare ups.
Exercise care when using your broiler.

TILTING THE GRATE

Raise or lower the grate to the next step by lifting the
grate at the back of the charbroiler where the grate
rests. Use potholders or gloves to reposition.

CAUTION

CHARBROILERS ARE HOT! NEVER ATTEMPT
TO CHANGE THE GRILL POSITION WHILE
MEAT PRODUCTS ARE COOKING. FLARE-UPS
CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY. TURN OFF THE
CHARBROILER AND ALLOW IT TO COOL.

CLEANING

Clean regularly. Remove grate section to sink for
washing. Brush out carboned particles. Remove and
wash water pan. Wipe exterior surfaces with detergent
and a cloth. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used on
caked areas.

WATER PAN

The water pan is located at the bottom of the unit and
is easily removed from the front of the unit. Water
should be added to the water pan and replaced as
necessary. The water pan helps prevent flare ups and
catches grease.

AIR INTAKES IN BOTTOM

Air for combustion enters from the bottom of the
unit. Do not obstruct this area.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Contact the factory or one of its representatives or a
local service company for service or maintenance if
required.

DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 5 POUNDS LAVA
ROCK PER EACH BURNER.
