Burner Ignition

When ignition has been accomplished, a blue flame will cover the surface of the ceramics for 10-15 seconds. This 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 flame travels back and forth on the face of the burner ceramics.

Main burner Adjustments

All Salamander are provided with a fixed burner orifice to provide 20,000 BTU/Hr at the “MAX” setting on natural gas supplied at 6.0”W/C pressure and 20,000 BTU/Hr at the “MAX” setting on propane gas supplied at 10.0”W/C.

The “MIN” setting is adjustable and should be set as follows:

1.Set the burner valve knob to “MIN”.

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 clock-wise to increase.

Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the burner rods no longer glow and the flame 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 re-done after installation. This is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not warrantable.

Burn off Period

Many parts used in the manufacturing of commercial equipment have a thin protective coating of machine oil. This oil should be burned off before the equipment is used for food preparation.

After all start-up and safety checks have been completed, turn the burner valve to the “MAX” position. A Smoke (a bluish haze) will be produced. This process can take several hours and can be completed over a few days.

Operating Suggestions

1.Clean the racks as soon as possible after cooking with tomato or vinegar based products that have a high acid content. These foods can cause pitting of the rack surface.

2.Allow the salamander to preheat before adding product.

3.Drain and clean the drip tray frequently. Excessive oil drain off in the pan can cause spillover.

Energy Conservation

Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high temperature settings during idle periods. Lower setting will keep broiler warm and ready got the next use period. Reset burner valve knob as required for heavy load periods.

Safety Precautions

It is the responsibility of the supervisor or equivalent person to ensure that users of this equipment wear suitable protective clothing and to draw attention to the fact that some parts will by necessity become very hot and will cause burns if touched accidentally.

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 file and also obstruct ventilation.
