INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF SALAMANDER BROILERS

GENERAL

Salamander Broilers are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage, and maintenance of your broiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.

Product Parameter

This appliance is equipped for Natural Gas. For Natural gas when equipped with No. #31(Φ3.0mm) drill size orifice. For LP gas when equipped with No. #52(Φ1.7mm) drill size orifice. For conversion to LP gas orifice see instruction plate on the appliance, see Page 11.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located underneath the broiler rack drip tray. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer immediately.

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the broiler is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 5 days of delivery.

Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) and the clearance dimensions (see below) agree with the specifications on the rating plate which is located under the crumb tray on the right side.

LOCATION

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

Minimum Clearance

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 24" is required.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to replace air taken out by the ventilating system. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the broiler. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room. Avoid open windows next to the broiler. Maintain an 18" (46 cm) clearance from the top of the broiler flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

The broiler must be installed in accordance with:

In the United States of America:

1. State and local codes.
2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). This shall include but not be limited to: NFPA #54 Section 10.3.5.2 for Venting. Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards Committee Z223, 400N. Capital St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 or the Secretary Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Battery march Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471

NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
All gas appliances vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust system equipped with a damper or with a power means of exhaust shall comply with 24 8 C MR.

3. NFPA Standard # 96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

In Canada:

1. Local codes.
2. CAN/CSA-B 149.1 Natural Gas Installation (latest edition)
3. CAN/CSA-B 149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the Canadian Gas Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi(3.5kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gas.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the broiler.

NATURAL GAS: Standard orifices are set at 5" W.C. (Water Column). A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed when the broiler is connected to the gas supply.

LP GAS: Standard orifices are set at 10" W.C. (Water Column). A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed when the broiler is connected to the gas supply.

The gas supply line must be ¼" or larger. If flexible or semi-rigid connections are used, the inside diameter must be the equivalent of ¼” iron pipe or larger. All connections of the flexible and semi-rigid type must comply with all local and national requirements. Make sure gas piping is clean and free of dirt, piping compound, and obstructions.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION

Gas regulator pressure is preset at 5” Water Column (W.C.) for natural gas, and 10” W.C. for propane gas. Minor adjustments may be required based on site specific gas pressure.

Install the regulator as close to the broiler on the gas supply line as possible. Make sure that the arrow on the underside of the regulator is oriented in the direction of gas flow to the broiler (Fig. 1) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and adjustment screw upright (Fig. 2). A recommended plumbing schematic is listed below only for Salamander units as guide to the installer and it is in no way liable for plumbing installation (Fig. 3).

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9" W.C. for natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the regulator be connected to supply pressure greater than ½ psi (3.5 kPa) or 14" W.C.

FLUE CONNECTIONS

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the broiler. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BROILER.

CONTROLS

Angled Handle
Elevates or lowers the broiling grid to different positions. Grasp the handle and pull towards broiler cavity. This releases the mechanism and allows the lifting handle to move into the desired position.

Burner Valve
Regulates the flow of gas to the burners. Gas flow is increased by turning the valve counterclockwise.

Drip Tray
Collects grease and waste which is diverted by the tilt of the drip shield. DO NOT allow the drip tray to overflow. Empty the drip tray when three-quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.

Rack Handle
Gides the grid forward for easy loading and unloading. To operate, pull straight out.

LIGHTING, RELIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn burner valve to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes.
2. Light the pilot adjacent to the main burner. Adjust the pilot valve screw until the pilot flame has a slight yellow tip.
3. After the pilot has been established, turn the burner valve to the ON position.
4. If the burners fail to light, turn off all valves, wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 1-3.
5. To shut down, turn the burner valves to the OFF position.

RACK POSITION AND GAS SETTING

Each operator will find the optimum rack position and gas setting for various products; however, it is recommended that gas input be reduced first when lower rack temperatures are desired. Further reduction in rack temperatures, if necessary, can then be obtained by lowering rack position. Infrared burner must use the full gas setting. Max and minimum temperatures can be achieved at the following settings:

• Rack at highest position, valves set to High - 800°F
• Rack at lowest position, valves set to Low - 250°F

CLEANING

1. Allow broiler to cool.
2. To remove broiler rack for cleaning, adjust broiler rack to center position.
