Operating Instructions:

Operating the Charbroiler - Pilot Lighting Instructions

Before operating the charbroiler, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the charbroiler. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.

The pilot light on the appliance have been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.

1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.

2. The main gas valve should be “CLOSED/OFF” for five (5) minutes prior to lighting pilots to clear any existing gas.

(Main gas valve is supplied by others.)

3. Turn “ON/OPEN” the main gas valve to the unit.

4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilots. When the flame is established, remove the ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot.

The pilot can be reached through the holes on the front of the unit or through the top grate. Remove the radiant before attempting to light.

5. Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs “OFF”. From the opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will increase the flame height and repeat step 4.

If the pilot or burner fails to ignite when gas is turned “ON”, turn “OFF” and wait five (5) minutes prior to retrying to lighting pilots to clear any existing gas.

If the pilot flame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot flame should be as small as possible but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the knobs are turned to “ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments. Use a screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the flame height to your desired level.

Shutdown:

Turn the unit off by rotating the gas control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.

The pilot light will remain lit.

To extinguish the pilot light completely, verify the gas control knob is “OFF” and turn OFF/Close the main gas line connection to the unit.

To reignite the pilot light, repeat the above steps.

Igniting the Burner

To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off to the desired flame level. The range of adjustment is virtually infinite between “ON” and “OFF”.

The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.

All burners are lit from a constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired flame height is all that is required to put the unit in service.

Do not permit fans or air conditioning vents to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.

It is also necessary that sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and causing undesirable working conditions.

A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in which the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.

NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This must be done by an authorized service technician.

Operating Instructions:

Operating the Charbroiler

Prior to operating your new charbroiler, thoroughly wash the exterior with a mild detergent or soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, since this might damage the cabinet finish. If the stainless steel surfaces become discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finished grain.

Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before broiling for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired flame height or temperature. Each valve will control the gas flow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.

NOTE: When the charbroiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil used in manufacturing, preservation and dust from storage and shipping are burned off. An hour at “max.” on all burners is usually sufficient.

Radiant Charbroiler

1. Place the angled radiants in their position as shown in Fig. 8.1

2. Make sure that the radiants are setting properly into the slots on the front and rear supports. Radiants should be centered over straight section of the burners.

Reversible Grates:

The reverse side of the grate is a flat surface

Broiling Grates

Place the top broiling grates with the grid bars angled toward the front as shown in Fig. 8.2. Or, place the grid bars flat, not angled for broiling.

NOTE: When broiling grates are placed angled toward the front, the grooves on top will guide the excess fat drippings into the grease trough.

The broiling grates are heavy duty cast iron which will oxidize if emerged in water. Lightly oil grates if not being used regularly

Cleaning Instructions:

• DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids.

• DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the charbroiler, excluding the catch tray.

• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and ammo-

nia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.

IF CLEANING THE BURNER OF THE CHARBROILER, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. AFTER CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO THE OPEN POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO RELIGHT THE CHARBROILER’S PILOT LIGHTS.
