OPERATION

WARNING: THE CHEESEMELTER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE CHEESEMELTER.

CONTROLS

Burner Valve — the burner valve regulates the flow of gas throughout the Cheesemelter. Gas flow is increased by turning the valve counterclockwise. After preheating, the maximum output is not

required. Turn the valve clockwise until the desired performance is achieved.

Sliding Shelves (Rack) — there are three rack positions. Place the shelf on the rack needed for Cheesemelting. For deeper, longer heat, use lower positions. For thinner foods, or faster cooking, use top shelves.

Grease Pan (Drip Tray) — the grease pan collects grease and waste. Do not allow the grease pan to overflow. Empty the grease pan when three- quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.

Pilot Adjustment Valve — regulates the flow of gas to the pilot burner.

LIGHTING, RELIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

1.Turn gas shutoff valve and burner valve to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes.

2.Turn gas shutoff valve ON. Light the pilot adjacent to the main burner. Adjust the pilot valve screw until the pilot flame has a slight yellow tip.

3.After the pilot has been established, turn the burner valve to the ON position. The burner flames may be adjusted, using the air shutters located behind the louvered panel in the front of the broiler below the burner valve.

4.If the burners fail to light, turn off all valves, wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 1-3.

5.To shut down, turn the burner valves to the OFF position.

PREHEATING

Place the rack in its highest position. Turn the burner valve knob completely counterclockwise and preheat for 15 minutes.

RECIPE AND RACK ADJUSTMENT

Positioning the Cheesemelter rack is an important factor in the desired product end results. Position the rack farther away from the burners for thick casseroles and for melting cheese or butter to avoid drying the product. Position the rack closer to the burners for bacon, toast and quick heating, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
