general public in food service locations.

The Ultra-Max™ series gas charbroiler is equipped for the type of gas indicated on the nameplate
mounted on the front panel. All units are shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. The unit can
easily be converted for use with propane gas: see propane gas.

-IMPORTANT­Be sure to remove all paper protection and packing material from unit prior to
lighting.

INSTALL IN NON-COMBUSTIBLE LOCATIONS ONLY! Clearance from non­combustible construction must be 3" minimum from back and sides. For servicing,

The installation of the Appliance must conform to the NATIONAL FUEL GAS
CODE "ANSI Z223.1 - LATEST EDITION" AND ALL LOCAL GAS COMPANY
RULES AND REGULATIONS.

IN CANADA INSTALLATION SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
CURRENT CAN/CGA-B149.1 NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION CODE OR CAN/
CGA-B149.2 PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE AND LOCAL CODES WHERE

NOTICE

When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the casters supplied, a connector
complying with either ANSI Z21.69 or CAN/CGA-6.16 and a quick-disconnect device complying with
either ANSI Z21.41 or CAN1-6.9. It must also be installed with restraining means to guard against

transmission of strain to the connector, as specied in the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

For your protection, we recommend a qualied 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

nal installation.

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.

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.

Caster Kits: Casters can be used with oor stand models or optional equipment stand. For installation, carefully

mark and cut off from the bottom of each leg using a straight cutting saw and de-burr the inside tube wall prior

to installing the caster. Cut leg should measure 19" tube length, not overall length. Casters add about 6-1/4" of

2M-Z20327, Ultra-Max Gas Char-broiler

height to the unit. Be sure to use approved strain relief means for protecting gas line connection. If an appliance
is equipped with casters and is gas connected with a quick connect coupling, all personnel must be aware that
there is a restraint on the appliance and if disconnected for service or cleaning it must be reconnected as originally
installed prior to use.

GENERAL INSTALLATION DATA (continued)

PLACING RADIANTS - RCBB SERIES

After the unit is unpacked and installed, place 1 radiant above each burner. Install each radiant on 2
slots of the rear wall and on 1 pin of the front wall of the liner weld assembly. Refer to the exploded view
in this manual for orientation of the radiants.

PLACING LAVA ROCKS- CBB SERIES

Open the lava rock bags and place rock evenly on the lower internal grates - not the top cooking grates.
Spread the lava rock evenly on the grates approximately 1 layer thick. Do not cover the grates with
more than two layers of lava rock. Do not put more than 5 pounds of rock per foot, or for every two
burners. NOTE: To much rock will deect the heat downward.

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 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. The supply pressure to the regulator is not to

exceed 1/2 PSIG. It is shipped set for 5" water column manifold pressure for use with natural gas.

CAUTION

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.

PROPANE GAS - CONVERSION

This charbroiler is equipped with xed orice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with natural
gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orice hoods, located in the water pan, as follows:

1. Remove grates, radiants and burners.

2. Remove the burner orice hoods (NAT #47) and install the orice hoods (LP #55) supplied.

3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grates.

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.

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.

2M-Z20327, Ultra-Max Gas Char-broiler

Matches, candle ame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for locating

gas 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.

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

3. The pilot lights on this broiler have been pre-set at the factory. Turn the adjustable screw
counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.
