INSTALLATION

The installation of this appliance should conform to
the national electric code and local electric codes and
ordinances and the local electric company rules and
regulations.

For your protection, we recommend that a qualified
electrician install this appliance. The electrician should
be familiar with electrical installations and your local
electrical requirements. The external wiring should
be in conduit or an approved type of flexible cable
suitable for operation at 90° C and of suitable size to
carry the load. The supply circuit should be properly
fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting as
required by local electrical code. The body of the
appliance should be grounded (Do not ground to a
gas supply pipe).

1. Level the char-broiler by adjusting the feet, which
have provision for 1 inch of adjustment. This
adjustment also allows a perfect alignment to be
achieved with other designer series units.

2. Grease - Tight locking strips are available to join
this appliance to other Designer Series units to
form a solid bank of cooking equipment. Please
specify models when ordering locking strips.

3. The terminal block can be accessed by removing
polished cover plate from back of broiler.

4. Fill water pan on broiler prior to use. Water

5. The charbroiler is constructed of high quality,
modular grates that are also readily removable for
cleaning, and are designed to have a dedicated
heating element which is controlled by a heat
control switch and an "ON/OFF" switch.

6. Seasoning - Set the heat control switch to low
position and preheat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Using a cloth, spread a thin film of cooking oil or fat
over the entire broiling grill surface. Allow the film
to remain on broiling grill for about 5 minutes.
Wipe surface clean and apply another film of
cooking oil. Wipe surface clean again. The broiling
grill is now ready for use.

on grill) 345° F on low setting to 570° F on high.

attractive by regularly wiping with a clean soft
