INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF
GAS COUNTERTOP CHARBROILERS
GENERAL
Gas Countertop Charbroilers are designed for commercial use only and feature fast,
efficient gas heat. Each burner is controlled by an adjustable gas valve. Cast radiants
are located directly above each burner to maintain uniform temperature. Radiants are
easily removed for cleaning when cool.
Heavy-duty, cast iron top grates are reversible to allow all or part of the cooking grid
surface to be level or sloped. Grooves, cast in the top grates, permit fat runoff and
reduce flaring when tilted towards the front. A grease drawer is provided to collect fat
run-off; it opens to the front for inspection or drain-off.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the broiler is found
to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) and the clearance
dimensions (see page 4) agree with the specifications on the rating plate which is located
on the upper front corner on the right side.
LOCATION
The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air. DO NOT install the charbroiler adjacent to open
burners or fryers.
Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air
removed by any ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not
obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases
through and above the broiler's top grate. Position the broiler in its final location. Check
that there are sufficient clearances to service the broiler and to make the required gas
