GENERAL INSTALLATION DATA (continued)
PLACING RADIANTS - RCBA SERIES
After the unit is unpacked and installed, place 1 radiant above each burner. Install each radiant on 2
slots of the rear wall and on 1 pin of the front wall of the liner weld assembly. Refer to the exploded view
in this manual for orientation of the radiants.
PLACING LAVA ROCKS- CBA SERIES
Open the lava rock bags and place rock evenly on the lower internal grates - not the top cooking grates.
Spread the lava rock evenly on the grates approximately 1 layer thick. Do not cover the grates with
more than two layers of lava rock. Do not put more than 5 pounds of rock per foot, or for every two
burners. NOTE: To much rock will deflect the heat downward.
GAS PIPING
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet the
full gas input of the appliance. If the appliance is to be connected to existing piping, it shall be checked
to determine if it has adequate capacity. Joint compound shall be used sparingly and only on the male
threads of the pipe joints. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases. WARNING:
Any loose dirt or metal particles which are allowed to enter the gas lines on this appliance will damage
the valve and affect its operation. When installing this appliance, all pipe and fittings must be free from
all internal loose dirt.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A convertible pressure regulator is provided with each charbroiler. It should be connected to the inlet pipe
at the rear of the unit. The gas supply is then connected to it. The supply pressure to the regulator is not to
exceed 1/2 PSIG. It is shipped set for 5" water column manifold pressure for use with natural gas.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
A manual shut off valve should be installed upstream from the manifold and within six feet of the
charbroiler.
CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY LINE
The gas inlet of the charbroiler is sealed at the factory to prevent entry of dirt. Do not remove this seal
until the actual connection is made to the gas supply line.
PROPANE GAS - CONVERSION
This charbroiler is equipped with fixed orifice hoods and is shipped from the factory for use with natural
gas. To convert to propane gas, install the burner orifice hoods, located in the water pan, as follows:
1. Remove grates, radiants and burners.
2. Remove the burner orifice hoods (NAT #47) and install the orifice hoods (LP #55) supplied.
3. Replace the burners, radiants, and grates.
4. Set manifold pressure to (10) inch water column. A 1/8" pipe plug on the burner manifold can
be removed for attaching a pressure gauge. Remove the slotted, or hex-threaded plug from the
pressure regulator. Invert the plug and re-install. The letters "LP" should now be visible on the
plug. The regulator is now set for 10" (25.4 cm) water column. Attach the conversion label, supplied
with the unit, close to the nameplate.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Check entire piping system for leaks. Soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the
purpose, shall be used in locating gas leakage.
Matches, candle flame or other sources of ignition shall not be used for locating
CAUTION
gas leaks.
PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The charbroiler is equipped with standing pilots, and should be lit immediately after the gas is turned on.
1. Turn off main valve to unit.
2. Turn off all knobs and pilot valves and wait 5 minutes to clear gas.
3. The pilot lights on this broiler have been pre-set at the factory. Turn the adjustable screw
counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close.
