can cause property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing the equipment.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustibles.

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. In addition,

there should be posted, in a prominent location, detailed instructions to be followed in 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.

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.

2M-Z12963: Gas Radiant & Lava Rock Charbroilers TMRC & TMLC

CAUTION

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. 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.

PROPANE GAS

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, 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.

CAUTION

2M-Z12963: Gas Radiant & Lava Rock Charbroilers TMRC & TMLC

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 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. 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.

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 TMLC 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!

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.
