A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the charbroiler.

CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE

The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.

If your charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas, and you wish to convert to propane gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orifice hoods, included with the unit, as follows:

1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods supplied.

3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.

4. Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on the plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water column. Attach the conversion label, supplied with the unit, close to the nameplate.

CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS

If your charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with propane gas, and you wish to convert to natural gas. Follow these steps, install the burner orifice hoods, located in the grease drawer, as follows:

1. Remove grill, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods and install the orifice hoods (not supplied).

3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grill.

4. Set manifold pressure to (6) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "NAT" should now be visible on the plug. The regulator is now set for 6" (15.24 cm) water column.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

Check entire piping system for leaks. Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the purpose shall be used in locating gas leakage.

Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for this purpose.

PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The unit is equipped with standing pilots, and should be lit immediately after the gas is turned on.

1. Turn off main valve to unit.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots. The best access to the pilot is obtained from the bottom with the grease drawer removed.
4. Adjust pilot light flames as small as possible, but high enough to light burner immediately when burner valve is turned on high.
5. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.
6. To turn burners off, turn knobs off.

SHUTTING DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the burner valve knobs to the off position to turn burners off.

BURNER IGNITION AND ADJUSTMENT

1. To ignite burners turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.
2. Slowly decrease openings of air shutters on burners to give a soft blue flame having luminous tips, then slowly increase openings to a point where the yellow tips disappear and a hard blue flame is obtained.

PLACING LAVA ROCK ON GRATES (FOR 60--CBD SERIES)

Open the lava rock bags and place rock evenly on grates. Do not cover the grates with more than two layers of lava rock. DO NOT PUT MORE THAN 5 LBS. OF ROCK PER BURNER!

PLACING RADIANTS (FOR 61--RCBD SERIES)

After the unit is unpacked and installed, place 2 radiants above each burner. Install each radiant engaging the notches on the top assembly. Refer to the exploded view in this manual for orientation of the radiants.

BURNER OPERATION

Each burner is controlled by an individual high-low, on-off valve. An infinite number of broiling temperatures may be obtained by turning the burner valve knob to any position between high and low. It is possible through this arrangement to have a high heat or searing section, while having a low heat finishing or holding section. For the searing operation, set the valves for the section at a position of "HI" or close to it. For holding or finishing, set the valves closer to the "LOW" position on the dial. You select the heat pattern you like, and set the valves accordingly.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WATER PAN / DRIP TRAY

The water pan is located at the bottom of the unit, and is easily removed from the front of the unit. Water should be added to the water pan and replaced as necessary. The water pan helps prevent flare ups and catches grease.

LIGHTING

When broiler is first lit, it will smoke for approximately 20-30 minutes until the preservation oils and impurities are burned off.

SEASONING THE COOKING GRATES

Set the heat control switch to the low position and preheat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Using a cloth, spread a thin film of cooking oil over the top of the grate surface. Allow the film to remain on the grate for about 5 minutes. Wipe the surface clean and apply another film of cooking oil. Wipe the surface clean again. The broiler is now ready for use. The oil may tend to smoke - this is normal.

BROILING

Turn valves on and pre-heat unit on "HI" before attempting to broil. You will have to experiment with

the grill settings and the valve settings for your particular food products. We recommend that you set the grate at the full tilt position to start. This position allows the grease to run down the grate into the grease tray, reducing flare ups. Check water pans frequently and add a sufficient amount of water when necessary. Hot water vapors rising from the water pans and through the combustion chamber helps reduce flare ups. Exercise care when using your broiler.

TILTING THE GRATE

Raise or lower the grate to the next step by lifting the grate at the back of the charbroiler where the grate rests. Use potholders or gloves to reposition.

Lava Rock Only One Layer of Lava Rock Water Pan / Drip Tray Fill with water before operating to prevent flare-ups and catches grease. IL2827

CHARBROILERS ARE HOT! NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE GRATE POSITION WHILE FOOD PRODUCTS ARE COOKING. FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY. TURN OFF THE CHARBROILER AND ALLOW IT TO COOL.

CLEANING

Clean regularly. Remove grate section to sink for washing. Brush out carboned particles. Remove and wash water pan. Wipe exterior surfaces with detergent and a cloth. A non-abrasive cleaner can be used on caked areas.

AIR INTAKES IN BOTTOM

Air for combustion enters from the bottom of the unit.

Do not obstruct this area.

Deteriorated lava rocks, food and debris build-up, and excessive lava rock will cause heat build-up in the char-broiler, which will damage the burners and grates.

Follow these cleaning and care instructions:

1. Place no more than 5 pounds (1 bag) of lava rock per 1' foot section.
2. Remove the cooking grate daily and clean off any build up debris from the top of the lava rock.
3. Lava rock breaks down over time and will need to be replaced. It is recommended to replace the lava rock every three to six months.
4. Keep the water pan filled with water during use to avoid flare-up and easier cleaning.
