All Models
Burner Ignition
When ignition has been accomplished, a blue flame will
cover the surface of the ceramics for 10-15 seconds . This haze
will disappear and the burner rod will glow red . After the
burners have operated for several minutes turn the valve to
“MIN” . The burner rods will no longer glow red and the flame
travels back and forth on the face of the burner ceramics .
Main burner Adjustments
All Salamander are provided with a fixed burner orifice to
provide 20,000 BTU/Hr at the “MAX” setting on natural gas
supplied at 6 .0” W/C pressure and 20,000 BTU/Hr at the “MAX”
setting on propane gas supplied at 10 .0” W/C .
The “MIN” setting is adjustable and should be set as follows:
1 . Set the burner valve knob to “MIN” .
2 . Insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the valve stem
to engage the slot inside the stem . Turn Clockwise to
decrease the rate and counter clock-wise to increase .
Proper adjustment is attained at the point where the burner
rods no longer glow and the flame travels back and forth on
the face of the ceramics .
OPERATION continued
This adjustment has been factory pre-set however, with
changing pressures this adjustment and pilot adjustment
may need re-done after installation . This is not considered a
manufacturing defect and is not warrantable .
Burn off Period
Many parts used in the manufacturing of commercial
equipment have a thin protective coating of machine oil . This
oil should be burned off before the equipment is used for
food preparation .
After all start-up and safety checks have been completed,
turn the burner valve to the “MAX” position . A Smoke (a
bluish haze) will be produced . This process can take several
hours and can be completed over a few days .
Operating Suggestions
1 . Clean the racks as soon as possible after cooking with
tomato or vinegar based products that have a high acid
content . These foods can cause pitting of the rack surface .
2 . Allow the salamander to preheat before adding product .
3 . Drain and clean the drip tray frequently . Excessive oil
drain off in the pan can cause spillover .
Energy Conservation
Do not waste energy by leaving controls at high temperature
settings during idle periods . Lower setting will keep broiler
warm and ready got the next use period . Reset burner valve
knob as required for heavy load periods .
Safety Precautions
It is the responsibility of the supervisor or equivalent
person to ensure that users of this equipment wear suitable
protective clothing and to draw attention to the fact that
some parts will by necessity become very hot and will cause
burns if touched accidentally .
For your safety never place any type of object on top of the
salamander broiler . The top of the broiler will exceed 1000°F .
It could cause severe burns and/or file and also obstruct
ventilation .
