General
The Quick-Therm Salamander is equipped with two main
functions, COOK or HOLD. The COOK function uses the
intensity of all three heating elements or any desired
combination of the heating elements. The HOLD function
activates only the two outer heating elements to maintain the
cooking temperature reached during the cooking cycle.
Use the following information and procedures to operate the
Quick-Therm Salamander.
Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.
Do not operate unit without drip tray and cooking grate
installed. Damage to unit could occur.
Control Panel
The following are descriptions of the controls used to operate
the Quick-Therm Salamander. All controls are located on the
control panel at the front of the unit.
Power On/Off (I/O) Knob
The Power Off/On (O/I) knob controls the main power to the
unit. Turning the knob to the “I” position supplies power to the
unit. Turning the knob to the “O” position turns off the unit.
Element ON/OFF Keys
The Element ON/OFF keys control the operation of each of the
three heating elements. Pressing an Element ON/OFF key
toggles the corresponding element between ON and OFF. An
icon at the top of the key identifies which element the key
operates. Each key has an indicator light that illuminates when
the corresponding element is activated.
COOK/HOLD Key
The COOK/HOLD key determines the function of the
salamander. Pressing the COOK/HOLD key toggles the
salamander between the COOK function and the HOLD
function. Each function has an indicator light that illuminates
when the corresponding function is active.
WARNING
NOTICE
START/STOP Key
The START/STOP key controls the cycle of the COOK and
HOLD functions. Pressing the START/STOP key will either start
or stop a COOK or HOLD cycle. Each operating mode has an
indicator light that illuminates when the corresponding mode is
active.
Timer/Temperature Knob
The function of the Timer/Temperature knob is determined by
which function is selected by the COOK/HOLD key. When the
COOK function is active, the Timer/Temperature Knob is used
to set the timer for the desired cook time. When the HOLD
function is active, the Timer/Temperature Knob is used to select
the desired holding temperature from one of eight (8) preset
temperature levels. Turning the Timer/Temperature Knob
clockwise increases the timer setting or selects a higher
temperature setting. Turning the Timer/Temperature Knob
counterclockwise decreases the timer setting or selects a lower
temperature setting.
Digital Display
The digital display shows the timer settings or temperature
settings, depending on the function selected by the
COOK/HOLD key. When a COOK or HOLD cycle is activated by
the START/STOP key, the settings will flash in the digital display.
Operating the Salamander
COOK Function
During the COOK function, the center heating element
modulates automatically at regular intervals to assure heat is
evenly dispersed over the cooking surface. The intensity of the
temperature can be adjusted by raising or lowering the upper
housing or using only one or two heating elements instead of all
three. The intensity of the heat that penetrates the food
diminishes as the distance between the food and the heating
elements increases. Use the following procedure to operate the
salamander in the COOK function.
1. Move the upper housing to the desired cooking height.
BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.
2. Turn the Power On/Off knob to the “I” position. The digital
display will flash showing the last setting.
