(B) If there is a problem with the gas supply, it may be checked fairly easily. Turn off half of the burners
or turn off all other gas appliances and see if the broiler flames increase. If there is an increase in the
flame height then there is a problem with the gas supply. A problem with the gas supply requires
immediate attention. IMMEDIATELY close all the burner valves (turn to the off position), including
the char-broiler's main valve. Contact a qualified service agency or the public gas company.
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.
4. 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 char-broiler (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.

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