SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before installing and operating this equipment, be sure everyone involved in its operation is fully trained and aware of precautions. Accidents and problems can be caused by failure to follow fundamental rules and precautions. The following symbols, found throughout this manual, alert you to potentially dangerous conditions to the operator, service personnel, or to the equipment.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest pieces of heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment on the market. You will find that your new equipment, like all Blodgett Range equipment, has been designed and manufactured to meet the toughest standards in the industry. Each piece of Blodgett Range equipment is carefully engineered and designs are verified through laboratory tests and field installations.
SPECIFICATIONS RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER SPECIFICATIONS NOTICE Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations must comply with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER SPECIFICATIONS DIMENSIONS Figure 2 Dimensions in Inches (Millimeters) Minimum Clearances 6" (152) Rear and Sides A 41.5" (1054) 38.75" (984) 57.0" (1448) Floor to Griddle Surface 52.5" (1334) Floor to Broiler Surface (Lowest Position) 41.
SPECIFICATIONS RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that the canopy extend 6" (152 mm) past the broiler and that the bottom edge be located 6'6" (1980 mm) from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease, and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan under the filter.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER OPERATION OPERATION DANGER EXPLOSION HAZARD In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shutoff valve. Immediately call the emergency phone number of your gas supplier. CAUTION If the broiler pilots should go out, the flow of gas to the broiler burners is NOT interrupted. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the operator to check the ignition of the burners immediately EVERY TIME the broiler is turned on.

RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER CLEANING & MAINTENANCE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE WARNING Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance on any gas appliance. The appliance may be equipped with a restraint device to limit its movement in order to prevent damage to the gas connection. If disconnection of this restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning or maintenance, reconnect the restraint when the appliance is moved back to its original installed position.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER SEMIANNUAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE At least twice a year the venting system should be examined and cleaned. CARE OF GRIDDLES The griddle should be carefully cared for in order to avoid possible damage. Use a Norton Alundum Griddle Brick to clean the griddle. Do not use any type of steel wool because small particles may be left on the surface and get into food products. Never allow water on a hot griddle, and never wash it with soap and water.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION INSTALLATION NOTICE These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void. Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment.
INSTALLATION RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER STEP 2A: MOUNT ON HEAVY DUTY STAND The stand is crated separately, but is shipped with the broiler. Depending on the shipping requirements, the broiler may already be assembled to the stand. 1. The broiler will be attached to the stand using four ¼"-20 bolts and lock washers provided with the stand. Remove the bolts and lock washers from the stand. 2. Lift the broiler (using two people is recommended).
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 2B: ATTACH COUNTERTOP LEGS The broiler may set on a countertop using short legs. Be sure that the countertop is rated to support the crated weight of the broiler (see Figure 2 on page 5). The model number is shown on the serial plate located in the rear right corner of you broiler (see Figure 1 on page 3). 1. With the broiler lying on its back side, screw the four legs tightly into the leg pads, as shown below.
INSTALLATION RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER STEP 3: CONNECT GAS SUPPLY If the broiler is being installed at over 2,000 feet (610 meters) altitude and that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized Blodgett Range Service Representative or the Blodgett Range Service Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty. The broiler is design-certified for operation on natural or propane gases.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 5: CHECK BROILER OPERATION 1. Turn the gas supply on. Immediately check all gas connections for leaks using soapy water. 2. Light the pilots and check that the pilot flames are large enough to extend along the flame carrier to the burner surface. If not, adjust the pilots (see page 17). 3. Turn the burner control to HIGH and visually check that the burners have ignited. When the burners ignite, a blue flame will carry across the ceramics tiles.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER SERVICE WARNING ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE OF, THE OPERATION OF COMMERCIAL COOKING EQUIPMENT. TO ASSURE YOUR CONFIDENCE, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR RELIABLE SERVICE, DEPENDABLE ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCE, AND FOR GENUINE FACTORY PARTS. NOTICE INSTALLATION OF OTHER THAN GENUINE BLODGETT RANGE PARTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THIS EQUIPMENT.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER ACCESS TO SERVICEABLE PARTS Some serviceable parts are only accessible by removing body side panels or the burner cover. The burner cover is fastened with ten sheet-metal screws. To remove the burner cover, remove these screws. The burner cover can then be pulled forward and removed. Each body side panel is fastened with seven sheet-metal screws, three in the front and four at the rear. Remove body-side screws and slide the body side towards the rear and away from the unit.
RADIANT STEAKHOUSE BROILER ADJUSTMENT OF BROILER BURNERS The burners are adjusted at the factory. Adjustment may be required to achieve proper operation due to elevation change or other variables. Remove the burner cover to adjust the air shutter on each burner venturi (shown in Figure 6 on the previous page) to achieve proper combustion and optimum burn. ADJUSTMENT OF GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR The pressure regulator is located at the rear right lower corner of the broiler. The regulator is preset for 6" W.
