INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL FOR HGB SERIES GAS CHARBROILERS RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Vulcan-Hart HGB Series Gas Charbroilers feature heavy-duty, cast iron burners; input rating is 16,000 BTU per burner. Each burner is controlled by an adjustable gas valve. Baffles suspended beneath the burners reflect the heat upwards maintaining a cool zone under the burner. Special cast alloy radiants are located directly above each burner to maintain uniform temperature.
INSTALLATION Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the data plate located on the reverse of the lower front control panel (remove 4 screws to access). Casters (Optional) Also be sure the unit is built for the installation elevation. Models HGB34M, HGB50M, HGB60M and HGB71M must be installed on a non-combustible level counter or stand. No adjustment is provided.
GAS CONNECTIONS CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas inlet is located at the middle rear (offset to right on HGB71). Codes require that a gas shutoff valve (not included) be installed in the gas line ahead of the charbroiler. A gas pressure regulator is shipped with the charbroiler for inclusion in the gas supply piping. The gas supply line must be 11⁄4" NPT (inside diameter).
CLEAN BEFORE FIRST USE Seasoning Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts. Follow the directions of the cleaner manufacturer. Rinse all parts thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Reseason cast iron parts immediately to prevent rusting. Lightly season the top grates, and the griddle and backsplash (if present) with a thin layer of cooking oil. This should also be done after every cleaning.
Positioning the Top Grates The top grates have two positions. With one side up, the grids are horizontal (flat). With the other side up, the grates slope toward the front. Use the sloped grate for most broiling to allow the groove on each side of the grid bars to catch the melted fat and allow it to flow to the trough in front. The grease will then flow through an opening to the grease drawer. Do not allow the meat being broiled to catch fire as this results in a poor flavor.
