Pilot Lighting Instructions
1. The in-line service shut-off valve should be in the
"ON" position.
2. With a lighted taper you can now light in the pilots
which are located at the rear of the main burner.
3. Pilot flame should be approximately 7/8" long for
proper ignition of the burners. The pilot adjustment
valve can be located by sliding the drip tray forward.
Adjustment valves are located on the manifold pipe
which runs horizontal across the back of the unit,
behind the drip tray, one is at the left rear and the
other at the right rear.
To adjust the pilot light, turn the brass screw
counter-clock-wise to increase the pilot flame, and
clock-wise to decrease the pilot flame.
NOTE: No more than 7/8" pilot flame length should
be required. Too high a setting will cause the fame to
lift off or will create excessive carboning. Do not adjust
the pilot flame lower than 7/8" long because this can
cause delayed ignition at the burner. The delayed ignition
could cause the burner tiles to crack; in that case the
burner would have to be replaced.
Main Burner Operation
Turn main burner knob to the "MAX" position
immediately check ignition.
CAUTION Should ignition fail after five seconds, turn
valve off and wait five minutes before trying again.
Pilot gas is not interrupted automatically. It is the
responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of
burners immediately after the burner valve has been
turned on.
When ignition has been accomplished, a blue flame will
cover the surface of the ceramics for 10-15 seconds. The
haze will disappear and the burner rod will glow red.
After the burners have operated for several minutes turn
the valve to "MIN." The burner rods will no longer glow
red and the flame travels back and forth on the face of
the burner ceramics.

OPERATION
Burn off Period
Many parts used in the manufacturing of commercial
equipment have a thin, protective coating of machine
oil. This oil should be burned off before the equipment
is used for food preparation.
After all start-up and safety checks have been completed,
turn burner valve to the "MAX" position. Smoke (a
bluish haze) will be produced. This process can take
several hours and can be completed over a few days
Energy Conservation
Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high
temperature settings during idle periods. Lower settings
will keep broiler warm and ready for next use period.
Reset burner valve knob as required for heavy load
periods
Shut Down Instructions
Turn main burner valve knobs to the "OFF" position.
If the unit is to be shut down for an extended period of
time, close the manual in-line service valve off, (manual
in-line service valve is not factory supplied).
FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object on
top of the salamander broiler or cheese melters. The top
of the broiler will exceed 1000º F. It could cause severe
burns and/or fire and also will obstruct ventilation.
Main Burner Adjustments
All Salamanders are provided with a fixed burner orifices
to provide 20,000 BTU/HR at the "MAX" setting on
propane gas supplied at 10.0" W/C. All Cheese Melters
are provided with a fixed burner orifices to provide
15,000 BTU/HR at the "MAX" setting on natural gas
supplied at a 6.0" W/C pressure and 15,000 BTU/HR
at the "MAX" setting on propane gas supplied at 10.0"
W/C.
The "MIN" setting is adjustable and should be set as
follows:
1. Set the burner valve knob to "MIN" setting and
remove the knob.
