Accessories available as optional:

All units:

4-4" adjustable legs (stainless steel)

1-splash guard with grate tilt (stainless steel)

CAUTION:

Examine the gas specification label attached to the right side of the unit to be certain that the type of gas for which unit is equipped is the same as the supply available.

MOUNTING OF LEGS:

To install legs, tilt unit to one side and screw in two side legs. Tilt unit to other side and screw in remaining two legs.

INSTALLATION:

This installation must conform with local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z22.1 (latest edition), or the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CGS-B149.2 as applicable. This unit is design certified for installation in non-combustible locations only.

CAUTION:

The unit should not be operated without first installing the legs, and they should NOT BE REMOVED under any circumstances. Select a location and level unit by turning the leg adjustment screws.

To achieve the most satisfactory operational conditions, the char broiler should be placed under an adequate hood or canopy. The char broiler comes equipped with a separate ¾” NPT Pressure Regulator (4" W.C. for

Natural Gas and 10"W.C. for Propane Gas). The regulator supplied must be installed directly to the manifold pipe protruding from the rear of the unit. Insure that the regulator is installed so that the direction of gas flow matches the direction of the arrow on the regulator body A manual gas shut off valve should be installed between the gas supply line and the regulator inlet. The size of the supply pipe to the char broiler is very important for peak performance. Check with your local gas company as to the proper pipe size. Use a pipe compound resistant to L.P. gases on all threaded joints. Check for gas leaks with soap solution before attempting to light the char broiler.

Remove the plastic ties from the burners and inspect the burners to see that they are properly seated in the slots at the rear, and properly located on the burner orifices. The char broiler is now ready for lighting.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are to be followed for installation only. For normal operation, follow the simple instructions on the label attached to the right side of the unit:

1. Make sure burner valves are turned to "OFF" or horizontal position.

2. Turn on main gas supply valve to unit.

3. Locate pilot light adjustment valve behind each hole plug on front panel. Open valve by turning adjusting screw counterclockwise and light pilot which is accessible from below. Turn adjusting screw to obtain a ¾” flame. Replace each hole plug.

Note: When the unit is being lit for the first time it may take a little longer to light the pilot until the air is purged out of the system.

4. Turn burner valves counterclockwise to "ON" position to ignite burners.

5. To turn unit off, turn burner valves clockwise to "OFF" position.

6. To re-light unit, shut off all gas and wait five (5) minutes before re-lighting pilots.

7. To completely shut down unit, turn burner valves to "OFF" position and close main gas valve.

WARNING: If the pilot(s) should become extinguished, turn off the main gas supply and vent the interior of the char broiler for five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.

PREPARING THE CHAR BROILER:

Place the fire grates onto the supports directly above the burners. Spread a single layer of charcoal briquettes on top of the grates. Place the top cooking grates in position on top of the unit.

Before using the char broiler to cook food for the first time, it is recommended that you turn the broiler on high heat for approximately 10 minutes. To do this, turn all burners to the fully "ON" position. This will remove any manufacturing oils or solvents which may be present.

OPERATION:

The charcoal briquettes must be hot enough to radiate sufficient cooking heat. To preheat the briquettes, turn all burners to fully "ON" position for approximately 5 minutes. The burner should be turned down to an idling position, (low flame) when not cooking. To prevent meat from sticking to a hot grate, the top cooking grates may be removed during preheating. Also, to prevent further sticking and as an aid to cleaning, lubricate the cooking grates by brushing them with cooking oil, or rubbing them with the fat from the meat.

The operator should become acquainted with the operation of the char broiler. A moderate heat setting should be used and increased gradually to the preferred cooking speed. For rare meat, use a higher heat setting and a shorter cooking time. For well done meat, use a lower heat setting and a longer cooking time.

As the fat and juices from the meat drip onto the charcoal briquettes, flare up may occur. A certain amount of flare up is necessary to produce the smoke flavor. However, should the flare up become excessive, any or all of the following steps should be taken:

1) Move the meat to a cooler area on the grate.

2) Lower the heat setting.

3) Use a squirt bottle to extinguish the flare up.

With practice and experience, the operator can establish the necessary timing and technique for the cooking of different foods.

A drip pan is provided at the base of the char broiler to catch any grease and burnt residue.

MAINTENANCE:

The char broiler can be kept clean and have less grease build-up if, after cooking, the grease and residue from the grates and charcoal briquettes are burnt off. This is achieved by turning all the burners fully on and burning for 15 minutes. There may be times when the grease and residue cannot be completely burnt off the charcoal briquettes. In this case, wait until the char broiler has cooled down and then turn the charcoal briquettes over so that the soiled sides are facing the burners. The next time the broiler is used, the grease and residue will be burnt off during normal preheating.

Keep all exterior surfaces of the char broiler free of splashed grease and other dirt by washing regularly with hot water and soap. Rinse and wipe dry; then polish with a soft cloth. These simple procedures will not only keep your char broiler clean and sparkling, but will prevent grease accumulations from forming. A well cleaned char broiler will give you many years of service and perform more efficiently.

OUTSIDE SERVICE: Should you require help contact the factory, your factory representative, or your local service company.

FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONS ONLY

When servicing of unit is required, contact a qualified service agency.

ADJUSTMENTS:

1. To adjust burner flame: loosen slotted screw on front of burner venturi and rotate air shutter slowly until flame with soft blue inner cone is obtained.

2. To adjust pilot flame: locate pilot light adjustment valve on gas manifold pipe opposite each pilot burner and turn adjusting screw to obtain a ¾” flame.

MAINTENANCE:

THE MAIN BURNER CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE AND SHOULD BE CLEANEC BOTH

INSIDE THE VENTURI PORTION AND ON THE OUTSIDE USING A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH. THE MAIN BURNER MUST

BE REPLACED INTO THE SAME POSITION AS PRIOR TO REMOVAL. ONCE A YEAR A QUALIFED SERVICE AGENCY

SHOULD BE CONTACTED TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION.
