Operation

Pilot Lighting Instructions

1.The in-line service shut-off 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 flame 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 flame, and clock-wise to decrease the pilot flame..

NOTE: No more than 7/8” pilot flame length should be required.. Too high a setting will cause the flame to lift off or will create excessive carbon deposits.. Do not adjust the pilot flame 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 five seconds, turn valve off and wait five 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 flame 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 flame travels back and forth on the face of the burner ceramics..

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 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 fire and also will obstruct ventilation..

Main Burner Adjustments

All salamanders are provided with fixed burner orifices 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 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 to be re-done after installation..

This is not considered a manufacturing defect and is not warrantable..
