Achiever Charbroilers Installation and Operation Manual

Fig. 2 
All orifices are of the fixed type and require no adjustment. 
Standing pilots should be adjusted to provide a slight yellow tip on the flame. Pilots may be 
lighted by removing adjacent cast iron top grates and radiants. 
Air shutters on the main burners must be individually adjusted to provide a blue flame. All traces 
of yellow should be adjusted out of the burner flame.  While making adjustments, you may notice 
that some burners, especially to the far right and left, have a higher flame. This is part of the 
unit’s design and is a normal effect.  
When charbroiling, turn burner control valves to 
1
/
3
 or ½ to prevent overheating. 
Scrape top grates during broiling with a wire brush to keep the grates clean.  Do not allow debris 
to accumulate on the grates. 
Turn flame to low setting during slack periods to conserve energy. 
The charbroiler is a free vented appliance. All products of combustion and the heat generated by 
the burners pass through the grates. When meat is placed on the grates, this blocks the venting 
and causes a temperature build-up. The charbroiler operates most efficiently with valves turned 
down to 
1
/
3
 or ½. 
LIGHTING THE GAS PILOT (Fig. 3) 
1. Turn the individual burner gas valves OFF 
and wait 5 minutes. 
2. Remove the Top Grates. Turn the 
incoming main gas supply valve ON.  
Light pilots using a taper (Fig. 3). 
3. To light the burners, turn the individual 
burner valves ON.

TO COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN THE BURNERS AND PILOT LIGHTS 
For complete shutdown: Turn the main gas supply valve OFF. (Make sure all individual burner 
valves are off before relighting.) 
PREHEATING THE CHARBROILER 
Allow the charbroiler to preheat for 30 minutes. Rub grates with cooking oil before using. Note 
that grease runs forward and drips into the trough in front of the charbroiler before draining into 
the grease drawer
