Bring the broiler leads down through the wire chase located on the rear of the range, and connect the
terminal as required to the electrical supply. It may be necessary to remove the ¼-20 screw that retains
the wire panel to the broiler in order to properly feed the wires through the rear. Refer to the wiring

ASSEMBLY

Salamander Broiler Mounted on a Wall (Fig. 1).

The separate wall mounting bracket accessory (WALLMNT-CHRBKR) will be needed to
wall mount the unit.

1. Follow the combustible/noncombustible clearance guidelines that are listed in the
“Installat i on” section in this manual.

2. Make sure brackets are level and properly spaced so that bracket holes will align
with the threaded holes on the bottom of the unit to be mounted. The short leg of the
bracket with the holes that are nearest the elbow bend is to be placed against the
wall. (Fig. 2)

3. Secure brackets to wall by means of lag screws or bolts. (Fig. 2)

4. Mount the brackets only in the upside-do wn “L” position as shown. (Fig. 2)

5. Make sure the lag bolts or screws engage wall studs. Ensure that the wall
construction is of the type that will support the salamander weight.

6. Pl ac e the salamander into po s it io n on the br ack et s, making s u r e that the un it’s
bottom threaded attachment points are aligned with the holes in the brackets.(Fig. 3)

7. Se c ur e uni t into position with 3/8” bolts at th e bottom of t he unit.
Thread the bolts through the holes in the brackets and into the threaded attachment
points on the bottom of the unit. (Fig. 3)

OPERATION

WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING,

CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BROILER.

Controls (Fig. 5 & Fig. 6)

Angled Handle — Elevates or lowers the broiling grid to different positions. Grasp the

handle and pull towards broiler cavity. This releases the mechanism
and allows the lifting handle to move into the desired position.

Drip Tray — Collects grease and waste which is diverted by the tilt of the drip

shield. DO NOT allow the drip tray to overflow. Empty the drip tray
when three-quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.

Rack Handle — Glides the grid forward for easy loading and unloading. To operate,

pull straight out.

Infinite Load Switches — Two switches independently control the left and right heating elements in 208,

240, 220/380 and 240/415 volt models. Provides a variable range of on time
from 22% to 100%.

3-Heat, 4-Position Switch — Controls both elements on 480 volt models. Provides approximately 100% of

total available power (6 KW) at HI position, 50% at MED position, 25% at LO
position, and 0% at OFF position. The left side element is slightly longer than the
right side element and has a higher KW rating than the right side (3.150 vs.

2.850 KW).

OPERATING THE BROILER

To place 208/240 volt broilers into operation, turn the infinite switch knob to the desired setting.
To place 480 volt broilers into operation, turn the 3-heat, 4-position switch knob to the desired setting.
Wait 5 minutes for the broiler to preheat, than follow normal cooking procedures.

GRID ADJUSTMENT

Position the grid farther away from the burners for thick meats and for melting cheese or butter to avoid
drying the product. Position the grid closer to the burners for bacon, toast and quick heating. Watch
carefully to avoid burning.

LOADING AND
UNLOADING

Pull rack out far enough to load product. Push rack back in place for cooking. Pull rack out for
unloading.

POWER OUTAGE

If a power outage occurs, the broiler will automatically shut down. When power is restored, the broiler
will automatically start heating.
