GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as
to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the
full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is
to be connected to existing piping, it shall be
checked to determine if it has adequate capacity.
Joint compound (pipe dope) shall be used
sparingly and only on the male threads of the pipe
joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the
action of L.P. gases. WARNING: Any loose dirt
or metal particles which are allowed to enter the
gas lines on this appliance will damage the valve
and affect its operation. When installing this
appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from
all internal loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with
each charbroiler. It should be connected to the
inlet pipe at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is
then connected to it. It is shipped set for 6" water
column manifold pressure for use with natural
gas. Allow 6" clearance from back of unit to wall
fro servicing and installation.
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.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed
upstream from the manifold and within six feet of
the charbroiler.
PROPANE GAS
This charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice
hoods and is shipped from the factory for use
with natural gas. To convert to propane gas,
install the burner orifice hoods supplied behind
the front panel 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.
CHECKING FOR GAS 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. Check entire piping system for leaks.
PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The charbroiler is equipped with standing pilots,
and should be lit immediately after the gas is
turned on.
1. Turn off main valve to unit and wait 5 minutes
to clear gas.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves.
3. Turn on main valve and light all pilots.
4. Turn burner knobs to desired setting.
5. To turn burners off, turn knobs off.
SHUTTING DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the burner valve knobs to the off position
to turn burners off.
PILOT LIGHT REGULATION
The pilot lights on this broiler have been turned
off at the factory. Adjust pilot light flames as small
as possible, but high enough to light burner
immediately when burner valve is turned on high.
BURNER OPERATION
To ignite burners, turn burner valve knob to "HI"
position. 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.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn burner valve knob to "HI" position.
2. Slowly decrease openings of air shutters 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.
