    Installation Guide III. Installation Requirements Only qualified and/or authorized persons must carry out the installation, gas conversion, and servicing/repair of this equipment. Components having adjustments protected by the manufacturer are not to be adjusted by the installation person. They must only be adjusted by an authorized Service Engineer. This equipment must be installed in an area with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to health.
  • Page 7 Do not put the equipment in an area where the equipment’s flue may be obstructed. Also, do not directly connect the equipment’s flue to any ventilation equipment or system. Any gas burning appliance requires adequate clearance and ventilation for optimum and trouble- free operation.
  • Page 8 Install the Flue Remove the Flue from the packaging, then remove all protective film from the flue. Install the flue at the back of the unit by pushing it down. Flue Install the cast radiants (for units with cast radiants) Remove the cast radiants from the packaging.
  • Page 9 Install the Lava Rock Kit (for units with Lava Rock Kit) Remove the lava rocks and support racks from the packaging. Then, position the support racks over the burner tubes. The support racks should rest firmly on the front and back support flange. See image below. Support Rack Place the lava rocks over the support rack as shown in the photo below.

  • Page 11 Gas Connection Only qualified and/or authorized persons must carry out the gas connection, testing and commissioning of this equipment. After installing all the necessary parts, position the equipment in its final operating position. Before connecting the gas supply line to the equipment, check the following: Check gas type that will be supplied to the equipment.
  • Page 12 Remove the plug from the Manifold Pressure Test Point and install a portable manometer. Check for gas leak on the connection. Turn ON the isolation gas valve, and open one burner and set at “High Flame” for Check the pressure reading in the manometer. The manometer pressure reading should be according to the pressure of the gas type indicated in the rating label and on the Gas Specification Table on page 5 of this manual.

  • Page 14 Lighting the Pilot Burners The burners of this Gas Char-Grill are fitted with individual standing pilots which allows the main burners to be turned ON or OFF without the need to manually re-light the burner each time that it is turned OFF, as the burner will automatically light itself by the pilot burner. Flame Failure Protection is incorporated for each burner by way of a thermo-electric system which will shut off the gas supply to that burner in the event that the pilot burner flame goes out, so that un-burnt gas is not expelled to the surrounding area.
  • Page 15 Main burner air supply: For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. The primary air supply is controlled by an air shutter on the front of the burner. Loosen the lock screw on the front of the burner and adjust the air shutter to just eliminate the yellow tips of the burner flame.
  • Page 16 Start-up operation or operation from cold start Turn the burners on about 5 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired temperature setting 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.
  • Page 17: Cleaning Instructions

    Cleaning Instructions CAUTION! Always turn the unit OFF, and follow the lock-out/tag-out procedure before performing cleaning and maintenance operation. Allow the unit to cool down first, before starting any cleaning and maintenance operation. INITIAL CLEANING: Prior to operating your new Char-Grill, perform the Cast Grates “Burn-OFF”, when the Char- Grill is first heated, it will smoke until oil used in manufacturing, preservation and dust from storage and shipping are burned off.
  • Page 18 WEEKLY CLEANING: Remove the grease pan, empty and wash it with mild detergent and warm water, applied by sponge or soft cloth. Then, dry it with a soft dry cloth. To remove normal dirt, clean the flue and exterior body of the equipment with mild detergent and warm water, applied by sponge or soft cloth.

  • Page 23: Vii. Troubleshooting Guide

    VII. Troubleshooting Guide GENERAL INFORMATION ON TROUBLESHOOTING: Burning speed: The velocity at which flame travels through an air-gas mixture. Burning speeds vary with types of gases, and the amount of air mixed with the gas. This air to gas ratio is very important in that it is directly related to flame stability.
  • Page 24 Burner problems LIFTING FLAMES: How to recognize: When lifting flames occur, part of the flame lifts from the burner port. Lifting flames rise from the ports to burn some distance above the port. In some cases, these flames will drop back to the port and lift again intermittently.
  • Page 25 How to correct: Yellow tipping is caused by a lack of enough primary air. This condition may be due simply to an incorrect air shutter adjustment. If this is the case, open air shutters to get rid of the yellow tips.
  • Page 26 established. When the appliance heats up it should operate in a normal manner. GAS ODOR AT PRIMARY AIR OPENINGS: Under normal burner operation, a negative pressure (vacuum) should exist inside the primary air openings of a burner, drawing in air. If all gas fed to the burner by the orifice does not flow to the burner head, some gas may spill from the primary air openings.
