Operation of Charbroiler Section
Each 12"-wide or 16"-wide section has one control knob,
which can be turned to OFF, HIGH, or LOW. Each 6"-wide
burner top-grate can be turned over to provide either wide
branding marks or narrower branding marks with channels to
carry away drippings (and so reduce flare up). The back-to-
front slope of each top-grate is adjusted by positioning the
back end of the top-grate on either the lower or the higher
grate-support rail. The radiants (just above the burners) can
be reversed front-and-back to provide higher heat toward the
back than the front, or vice versa. “Lava rock” briquettes can
be placed on grates located above the radiants.
To start cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to HIGH.
Visually check that the burner ignites.
The gas does NOT
automatically shut off if the burner does not ignite!
If the
burner does not ignite, check and/or light the pilots (see
procedure at right). When the burner is hot, the burner flame
should appear blue and steady (some slight yellowing of the
flame tips may occur when using propane gas).
When done cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to
OFF. (The pilot should remain lit).
Each 12"-wide or 16"-wide section has two burners, each of
which has a pilot located near the front of the burner. To light
the pilots, do the following:
1. Check that the burner control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Lift up a grate in order to expose the two pilots. They are
accessible through a slot near the front end of the radiant
plate.
3. Check that each pilot is in the correct position.
4. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not
already on).
5. Light the pilots with a match or a pilot-lighting device. The
pilot flames should be blue and steady.
