GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to
provide a supply of gas sufcient 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 ttings 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.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the
purpose, shall be used in locating gas leakage. Matches,
candle ame 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 ames 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 xed orice hoods and is
shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. To convert
to propane gas, install the burner orice hoods supplied
behind the front panel as follows:
1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orice hoods and install the orice
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.
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 innite 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 ame having luminous tips, then slowly increase
openings to a point where the yellow tips disappear
and a hard blue ame is obtained.

EXHAUST CANOPY
Open hearth broilers inherently create a good deal of heat
and smoke and should be installed under an efcient exhaust
hood with ame proof lters. A vertical distance of not less
than 48" shall be provided between the top of the appliance
and lters or any other combustible material.
AIR SUPPLY
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING
When broiler is rst 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 are ups. Check
water pans frequently and add a sufcient amount of water
when necessary. Hot water vapors rising from the water
pans and through the combustion chamber helps reduce
are 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 nishing 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 nishing, 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 are 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. FLAREUPS CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY. TURN
OFF THE CHARBROILER AND ALLOW IT TO
COOL.
