CH CHARBROILER OPERATION MANUAL

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The following should be checked:
1.
The building’s main pressure regulator.
2. The size of the broiler’s gas supply line (if it is
a new installation).
3. The broiler’s pressure regulator.
4. The orifice size of each burner.
One Burner Fails to Light:
NOTE: Always make sure that grates, radiants and
burners are cold before handling.
(a) Check to see that the on/off valve to that
burner is on.
(b) Check to see if the pilot flame is lit. Each
burner has its own pilot, which is located
on the manifold along the front of the
charbroiler (see Fig. 2).
If the pilot is not lit, attempt to light it using a long
taper. If it fails to light, turn off all the burners,
allow to cool and then remove the top grate
and the radiant over the burner. With a thin
wire or pin, check that the hole is clear at the
top of the pilot tube. Attempt to relight using
a taper.
(c) If the pilot burner is lit, close all the burner
valves, allow to cool and then remove the
top grate and the radiant over the burner,
and check that the pilot flame is located
over the first few holes in the burner. The
pilot tube can be bent slightly to reposition
the flame.
(d) If the pilot is lit, positioned correctly, and has
a proper flame, close all the burner valves ,
allow to cool and then remove the top grate
and radiant over the burner.
Remove the burner by lifting the rear of the
burner off the support pin, slide it towards
the rear of the broiler, enough to clear the
burner orifice (fig. 3 or 4).
Using a thin wire or pin, check to see that
the orifice is clear, taking care not to enlarge
the hole. Replace the burner, radiant and
grate and attempt to light it again.
If the burner will not light, the burner valve
could be defective. Contact your dealer, the
factory or a local service company.

PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Burners & pilots will not turn on
Main gas supply to broiler is not turned on. Turn on main gas supply.
Burners produce excessive carbon depos-
its
Incorrect gas type.
Supply correct type gas.
Incorrect gas supply pressure.
Call local gas supplier.
Incorrect orifices.
Call Bakers Pride authorized service center.
Primary air not adjusted properly.
Adjust air shutter.
Pilot will not remain lit
Pilot flame adjusted incorrectly.
Adjust pilot flame.
Draft condition.
Remove draft.
Improper ventilation system.
Call an HVAC specialist.
Excessive flare-up
Overload of fatty meat.
Add water to grease pan.
Broiler doesn’t seem hot enough
Orifices may be dirty/clogged.
When unit cools, check & clean orifices.
Low gas pressure.
Increase gas pressure to 5" W.C. (Nat) or
10” W.C. (L.P.)
Top grates may be dirty/clogged.
When unit cools, check & clean top grates.
If the ventilation is too strong it will suck
heat from the cooking/broiling surface.
Call an HVAC specialist.
Grates &/or radiants &/or burners &/or gas
valves warp
Usually improper cleaning methods ie;
users cover grate top w/sheet pans & crank
up heat to burn-off debris
Do not “Burn-Off” top grates. This causes
the firebox area to overheat excessively.
*Never Cover top grates.
