Operation of Charbroiler Section
Each control knob can be turned to OFF, or to any position in
the range from LOW-to-HIGH. Each 6”-wide burner top-grate
can be turned over to provide either wide branding marks or
narrower branding marks with channels to carry away drippings
(and so reduce flare up). The back-to-front slope of each top-
grate is adjusted by positioning the back end of the top-grate
on either the lower or the higher grate-support rail. The radiants
(just above the burners) can be reversed front-and-back to
provide higher heat toward the back than the front, or vice
versa. “Lava rock” briquettes can be placed on grates located
above the radiants.
To start cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to HIGH.
Visually check that the burner ignites. The gas does NOT
automatically shut off if the burner does not ignite! If
the burner does not ignite, check and/or light the pilots (see
procedure at right). When the burner is hot, the burner flame
should appear blue and steady (some slight yellowing of the
flame tips may occur when using propane gas).
When done cooking, turn the appropriate control knob to OFF.
(The pilot should remain lit).
Each burner, has a pilot located near the front. To light the
pilots, do the following:
1. Check that the burner control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Lift up a grate in order to expose the two pilots.
3. Check that each pilot is in the correct position.
4. Turn on the gas supply to the sectional range (if not already
on
5. Light the pilots with a match or a pilot-lighting device. The
pilot flames should be blue and steady.
