RADIANT 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. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.
INSTALLATION RADIANT BROILER STEP 2A: ATTACH LEGS A set of four legs is packed with equipment ordered with legs. (For units ordered with casters, go to Step 2b.) 1. Raise equipment sufficiently to allow legs to be attached. For safety, “shore up” and support the equipment with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load. 2. Screw the legs into the leg pad holes, located on bottom at each corner. The legs should be fully screwed into the leg pads. 3.
RADIANT BROILER INSTALLATION Figure 6 Installation of Casters STEP 3: ATTACH RESTRAINT NOTICE For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.
INSTALLATION RADIANT BROILER Figure 7 Installation of Restraint A C B H G F I E D Be sure all controls are turned off prior to disconnecting. After reconnecting, be sure all controls are turned off and all pilots are lit. NOTICE Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
RADIANT BROILER INSTALLATION STEP 4: CONNECT BATTERY SECTIONS (OVEN BASE ONLY) If the unit is part of a battery, and the battery was shipped partially disassembled, connect the battery sections using the following procedure. 1. Remove valve panels from all sections. Mark them so that they can be returned to their respective section. 2. Position the center section of the battery and carefully level that unit.
INSTALLATION RADIANT BROILER If applicable, the vent line from the gas pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable. An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for satisfactory performance.
RADIANT BROILER OPERATION OPERATION DANGER EXPLOSION HAZARD In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call the emergency phone number of your gas supplier. Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances.
OPERATION RADIANT BROILER 5. When done broiling, turn the burner control knobs OFF (the constant-burning pilots will remain lit). 6. When done broiling, turn the burner controls to OFF. (To keep the broiler rack hot in order to mark food with sear marks without preheating, turn the burner controls to LOW and move the broiler rack to its highest position.) LIGHTING BROILER PILOTS The pilots should burn continuously unless the broiler is to be completely shut down.

OPERATION RADIANT BROILER Figure 9 Operation of Oven Each oven has a thermostatic control that can be set in the oven 175°F to 550°F (66°C to 260°C). Convection ovens have a fan that can be set to HI speed or LO speed. For advice on using a convection oven, see the information on the following two pages of this manual. While cooking, if the door is opened on a convection oven, the fan will temporarily stop until the door is closed.
RADIANT BROILER OPERATION SUGGESTIONS FOR COOKING USING A CONVECTION OVEN As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using conventional (non-convection) ovens. FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e., lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Use manufacturer’s convection oven directions for time and temperature or reduce conventional oven temperature 50 degrees for a 6-1/2 size pan load.
OPERATION RADIANT BROILER CORRECTING PROBLEMS WHEN COOKING WITH A CONVENTION OVEN If... Then... Cakes are dark on the sides and not done in the center… lower oven temperature Cake edges are too brown… reduce number of pans or lower oven temperature Cakes have light outer color… raise temperature Cake settles slightly in the center… bake longer or raise oven temperature slightly. Do not open doors too often for long periods. Pies have uneven color… reduce number of pies per rack.
RADIANT BROILER CLEANING CLEANING WARNING Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning. Do not remove panels that require tools to remove. WARNING Adjustments and service work should be performed only by a qualified technician who is experienced in, and knowledgeable with the operation of commercial gas cooking equipment. To assure confidence, contact your authorized service agency for reliable service, advice and other assistance with your appliance.
CLEANING RADIANT BROILER Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish.
