the event the operator smells gas. Obtain the instructions from the local gas supplier.

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.

CAUTION

EXHAUST CANOPY

Open hearth broilers inherently create a good deal of heat and smoke and should be installed under

an efcient 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. Exhaust

installation must conform to local codes.

AIR SUPPLY

Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided.

LEVELING UNIT

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.

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 sufcient 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 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 foreign material, debris, or metal particles 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, andd 10" water column manifold pressure for use
with propane gas. Allow 6" clearance from back of unit to wall for servicing and installation.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

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

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.

CONVERT TO PROPANE GAS

If your charbroiler is equipped with xed orice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas, and you wish to convert to propane gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orice

hoods, included with the unit, as follows:

1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.

2. Remove the burner orice hoods and install the orice 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.

CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS

If your charbroiler is equipped with xed orice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with
propane gas, and you wish to convert to natural gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orice

hoods, located in the grease drawer, as follows:

1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.

2. Remove the burner orice hoods and install the orice hoods (not supplied).

3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.

4. Set manifold pressure to (6) 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 "NAT" should now be visible on the
plug. The regulator is now set for 6" (15.24 cm) water column.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Check entire piping system for 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.

PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

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

1. Turn off main valve to unit.

2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.

3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots. The best access to the pilot is obtained from the bottom with

the grease drawer removed.

4. Adjust pilot light ames as small as possible, but high enough to light burner immediately when burner

valve is turned on high.

5. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.

6. To turn burners off, turn knobs off.

CAUTION

SHUTTING DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

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

BURNER IGNITION AND ADJUSTMENT

1. To ignite burners turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.

2. Slowly decrease openings of air shutters on burners 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.

PLACING LAVA ROCK ON GRATES (FOR 60--CBD SERIES)

Open the lava rock bags and place rock evenly on grates. Do not cover the grates with more than two
layers of lava rock. DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 5 LBS. OF ROCK PER BURNER!

PLACING RADIANTS (FOR 61--RCBD SERIES)

After the unit is unpacked and installed, place 2 radiants above each burner. Install each radiant engaging
the notches on the top assembly. Refer to the exploded view in this manual for orientation of the radiants.

BURNER OPERATION

Each burner is controlled by an individual high-low, on-off valve. An innite number of broiling

temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve knob to any position between high and low.
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.
