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

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 LP 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 THE
CHARBROILER AND ALLOW THE
CHARBROILER TO COOL.
