INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF GAS COUNTERTOP CHARBROILERS GENERAL Gas Infrared Charbroilers are designed for commercial use only and feature fast, efficient gas heat. Each burner is controlled by an adjustable gas valve. Emitter panels are located directly above each burner to maintain uniform temperature and provide infrared cooking. Emitter panels and stainless steel cooking grids are easily removed for cleaning when cool. A crumb tray is provided to collect fat run-off and d

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 open burners or fryers. Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases through and above the br

KEY COMPONENTS The charbroiler Cooking Grid and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or Emitter Panel servicing the charbroiler. Burner Cooking Grids – The cooking grids should always be in place and properly seated on the emitter panels during operation. Wash grids thoroughly with Crumb Tray soap and water solution and rinse before first use. Crumb tray – The crumb tray is the removable pan that catches any debris that falls from

LEVELING It is important that the charbroiler is level front to back and left to right. Areas of uneven heat distribution will occur on an unleveled unit. The charbroiler is equipped with adjustable legs. Turn the feet at the bottom of the legs to adjust to level. The unit should be rechecked for level anytime it has been moved. VENTILATION HOOD The broiler should be installed under a suitable ventilation hood. For safe operation and proper ventilation, keep the space between the ch

Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION Gas regulator pressure is preset at 4” Water Column (W.C.) for natural gas, and 10” W.C. for propane gas. Minor adjustments may be required based on site specific gas pressure. Install the regulator as close to the broiler on the gas supply line as possible. Make sure that the arrow on the underside of the regulator is orien

CLEANING The charbroiler and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the charbroiler. Scrape cooking grids during broiling with a stainless steel scraper or stainless steel wire brush to keep the grates clean. Do not allow debris to accumulate on the grates. (Fig. 9) Top grates may be immersed in cleaning compound overnight. In the morning, rinse with hot water to remove any residues of cleaning compound. Stainless

Never cover surface of unit with pans or other objects in attempt to “burn off” or clean debris from unit. This will cause a buildup of heat that can potentially damage and warp components of the charbroiler. Do not cover surfaces with aluminum foil as this may block or disrupt the designed air flow pattern and affect performance. MAINTENANCE The charbroiler and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the charbroiler. VENT SYSTEM At
