LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
 Turn all burner valves to “OFF” position (bottom).
 Turn on the main gas supply to the unit.
 Pilots are located on the top of the salamander and cheesemelters.
 Turn pilot valve(s) adjusting screw counterclockwise, then light standing pilot and adjust
the pilot flame to approximately ¼” to ½” high.
 Turn burner valve on by turning counterclockwise to “ON” position. This should light the
main burner.
 If the main burner does not light, turn burner valve to “OFF” position. Wait five (5) minutes
to clear any gas. Then smell for gas, if you don’t smell gas, go to next step.
 Repeat the lighting procedure.
SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS:
 Turn burner valve clockwise to “OFF” position.
 For complete shutdown, turn pilot(s) pilot adjusting screw clockwise to shutoff gas to the pilot(s).
RECIPE AND GRID ADJUSTMENT:
 Positioning the broiler grid is an important factor in the desired product end results. Position the
grid farther away from the burners for thick meats and for melting cheese or butter to avoid
drying the product.
 Position the grid closer to the burners for bacon, toast, and quick heating, but watch carefully to
avoid burning.
PREHEATING:
 Before initial use, turn salamander burner on high and let it run for 15 minutes. This will burn off
any solvents remaining on the rack.
CARBONIZATION OF CERAMIC:
 If ceramic take on a black sooty accumulation, the burners are receiving an insufficient
amount of air. The air shutter needs to be opened further. If carbonization occurs during
the initial adjustment, it will burn off as soon as adjustment is achieved.
PRIOR TO LIGHTING,
CHECK ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS!!!!!!
