FOR YOUR SAFETY

DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS

IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

APPLIANCE. KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA

CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLES.

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.

This charbroiler is supplied with 4 feet which
must be screwed into the body. Level unit by
adjusting the (4) feet which have an adjustment of
1-3/4" for accurate and perfect line-up with other
units. CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL
WITHOUT ATTACHING FEET - DO NOT
REMOVE FEET.

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
fro 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.

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.

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.

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

3

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.

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.

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.
