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 10"
water column manifold pressure for use with
propane 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.
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.
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.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed
upstream from the manifold and within six feet of
the charbroiler.
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.

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.
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.
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.
DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 5 LB. LAVA
ROCK PER EACH BURNER
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.
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.
CAUTION
CHARBROILERS ARE HOT! NEVER
ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE GRILL
POSITION WHILE MEAT PRODUCTS
ARE COOKING. FLARE UPS CAN
OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY. TURN OFF
CHARBROILER, AND ALLOW THE
CHARBROILER TO COOL.
