IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO INSTALL GAS EQUIPMENT, WHO SHOULD PERFORM THE INITIAL FIELD START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS OF THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THIS MANUAL. POST IN A PROMINENT LOCATION THE INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE EVENT THE SMELL OF GAS IS DETECTED.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF MEDIUM DUTY GAS CHARBROILERS GENERAL Gas Countertop Charbroilers are designed for commercial use only and feature fast, efficient gas heat. Each burner is controlled by an adjustable gas valve. Cast radiants are located directly above each burner to maintain uniform t emperature. Radiants are easily removed for cleaning when cool.
LOCATION The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. DO NOT install the charbroiler adjacent to fryers unless following the provisions detailed by local codes and/or the applicable sections of ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition) and NFPA #96 (latest edition) in the United States of America or CAN/CSA 149.1 (latest edition) and CAN/CSA149.2 (latest edition) in Canada.
BURNERS, RADIANTS, AND TOP GRATES The top grates are shipped flat (top-side down) from the factory. For broiling, the top grates can be left in the flat position or reversed so they slope forward for grease run-off. Remove the cast iron grates and radiants.
GAS CONNECTION All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases. Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or any foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit. Codes require that a gas shut-off valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the charbroiler.
The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7 -9” W.C. for natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the charbroiler be connected to supply pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C. PROPANE GAS CONVERSION This charbroiler is shipped from the factory equipped with fixed burner orifices for natural gas operation.
OPERATION The charbroiler and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the charbroiler. CONTROLS Fig. 5 CONTROL KNOBS Each burner is independently controlled by an infinite heat control valve. Once the pilots are lit, turning the control knob to the ON position will light each burner. The burners will be in the full ON position when the control knobs are turned all the way to the left.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the slotted hex -head pilot adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the flame, and counterclockwise to increase the flame. See Fig. 7. Fig. 7 TO COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN THE BURNERS AND PILOT LIGHTS For complete shutdown: Turn the main gas shut-off valve OFF. (Make sure all individual burner valves are off before relighting.) PREHEATING THE CHARBROILER Allow the charbroiler to preheat for 30 minutes.
CLEANING Scrape top grates during broiling with a wire brush to keep the grates clean. Do not allow debris to accumulate on the grates. Top grates may be immersed in strong commercial cleaning compound overnight. In the morning, rinse with hot water to remove any residues of cleaning compound. Thoroughly dry and apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.
TROUBLESHOOTING Uneven heating, sides burning A. Burner valves improperly adjusted B. Fluctuating gas pressure C. Improperly adjusted burner Too much top heat A. Burner valves adjusted too high B. Faulty ventilation C. Overrated gas pressure D. Improperly adjusted burner Uneven heat side to side A.
