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.
