OPERATION
Pilot Lighting Instructions
1. The in-line service shut-o valve should be in the “ON”
position.
2. With a lighted taper you can now light the pilots which
are located at the rear of the main burner.
3. The Pilot ame should be approximately 7/8” long for
proper ignition of the burners. The pilot adjustment
valve can be located by sliding the drip tray forward.
Adjustment valves are located on the manifold pipe
which runs horizontally across the back of the unit,
behind the drip tray. One valve is at the left rear and the
other at the right rear.
To adjust the pilot light, turn the brass screw counter-
clock-wise to increase the pilot ame, and clock-wise to
decrease the pilot ame.
NOTE: No more than 7/8” pilot ame length should be
required. Too high a setting will cause the ame to lift o or
will create excessive carbon deposits. Do not adjust the pilot
ame lower than 7/8” long because this can cause delayed
ignition at the burner. The delayed ignition could cause the
burner tiles to crack; in that case the burner would have to be
replaced.
Main Burner Operation
Turn main burner knob to the “MAX” position and
immediately check ignition.
CAUTION Should ignition fail after ve seconds, turn valve
o and wait ve minutes before trying again. Pilot gas is
not interrupted automatically. It is the responsibility of the
operator to check the ignition of burners immediately after
the burner valve has been turned on.
When ignition has been accomplished, a blue ame will
cover the surface of the ceramics for 10-15 seconds. The haze
will disappear and the burner rod will glow red. After the
burners have operated for several minutes turn the valve to
“MIN.” The burner rods will no longer glow red and the ame
travels back and forth on the face of the burner ceramics.
Burn o Period
Many parts used in the manufacturing of commercial
equipment have a thin, protective coating of machine oil.
This oil should be burned o before the equipment is used
for food preparation.
After all start-up and safety checks have been completed,
turn burner valve to the “MAX” position. Smoke (a bluish
haze) will be produced. This process can take several hours
and can be completed over a few days.
Energy Conservation
Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high temperature
settings during idle periods. Lower settings will keep broiler
warm and ready for next use period. Reset burner valve knob
as required for heavy load periods.
Shut Down Instructions
Turn main burner valve knobs to the “OFF” position. If the
unit is to be shut down for an extended period of time, close
the manual in-line service valve (manual in-line service valve
is not factory supplied).
FOR YOUR SAFETY never place any type of object on top of
the salamander broiler. The top of the broiler will exceed
1000° F. It could cause severe burns and/or re and also
will obstruct ventilation.
Main Burner Adjustments
All salamanders are provided with xed burner orices to
provide 20,000 BTU/HR at the “MAX” setting on Natural
Gas supplied at 6.0” WC (15 Mbar) pressure or propane gas
supplied at 10.0” WC (25 Mbars) pressure.
The “MIN” setting is adjustable and should be set as follows:
1. Set the burner valve knob to “MIN” setting and remove
the knob.
2. Insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the valve stem
to engage the slot inside the stem. Turn clockwise to
decrease the rate and counter-clockwise to increase.
Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the burner
rods no longer glow and the ame travels back and forth on
the face of the ceramics.
This adjustment has been factory pre-set, however, with
changing pressures this adjustment and pilot adjustment
may need to be re-done after installation.
This is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not
warrantable.
