FEATURES & OPERATING CONTROLS
ITEM
COMMENT
The char-broiler is INFINITE SWITCH CONTROLLED. Power is
applied to the heating elements based on the control knob position and
the amount of energy used.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Light will glow when the infinite switch is in any position other that OFF.
INDICATOR LIGHT
HEATING ELEMENT
The char-broiler element assembly may be raised for cleaning, or to
add water to the drip pan. It is held the “up” position by a support rod
which automatically engages as the element is raised.
The grate is designed to protect the individual elements from food
contact and spatula abrasion, resulting in prolonged element life and
reduced carbonization. The grate is easily removed for cleaning.
GRATE
IMPORTANT: B-40 grate mounts above the element.
B-44 and B-50 grates can mount above or below the elements.
Always remove a top-mounted grate before lifting the element
assembly.
Hold element assembly in up position. Engages automatically when the
element assembly is raised.
ELEMENT SUPPORT ROD
IMPORTANT: Remember to dis-engage the support rod before
lowering element assembly.
DRIP PAN
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pour water over elements to refill drip pan.
The heavy-duty removable drip pan is located under the element
assembly. The drip pan catches food particles and grease drippings
during broiler operation. Maintain 2 inches of water in the drip pan at all
times during operation of the broiler. The drip pan is easily removed for
cleaning.
Gives manufacturer, make, model and serial number. Also voltage and
phase information, and agency approvals.
DATA PLATE
The char-broiler is equipment with adjustable 4” legs.
Legs allow for:
ADJUSTABLE LEGS
a. leveling the broiler
b. ventilation around the broiler, and
c. cleaning the broiler
The supplied legs MUST be properly installed before the broiler is place
into operation.
