I. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. INSTALLATION:
(A) INSTALLATION of this broiler must conform with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code
and/or local codes, ( the American National Standard 2-223.1 in USA and CAN/CGA-B149.1 or 2
Installation Code in Canada). In Europe, this appliance must be installed in conformity with current
regulations and used only in a well ventilated space.
(B) In MASSACHUSETTS, All gas products must be installed by a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber
or gas fitter. Ventilation hoods must be installed in accordance with NFPA-96, current edition, with
interlocks as described in that standard.

3
2. ACCEPTABLE CLEARANCES:
(A) USA and Canada.
Due to intense heat generated by radiation, in USA and Canada these broilers should be installed in non-
combustible locations only, including the areas above the grate level.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
Right Side Left Side Back
50mm(2") 50mm (2") 50mm (2")
(B) European Community Countries
Minimum clearance from: Right Side Left Side Back Floor
Combustible construction 250mm 250mm 250mm 150mm
Non-combustible construction 50mm 50mm 50mm 100mm
3. GAS CONNECTION:
The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed at the gas inlet of each broiler unless required
otherwise by local codes. Each regulator is adjusted to yield a manifold pressure of 3.5" water column (9
mbar) for natural gas or 10" water column (25 m bar) for propane gas. Units for propane gas are available
for use in USA and Canada only.
Recommended minimum gas supply lines are listed below:
All XXE Models 3/4" (19 mm )
NOTE: A shut off valve in a readily accessible location must be installed on the gas supply line before
connecting it to the unit.
For units using propane gas supply In USA and Canada lines less than' 1/2" (12.7 mm) Inside
diameter should not be used.
On the XXE series, the gas connection is located on the right rear of the unit.
BE SURE TO CAP WHICHEVER SIDE IS NOT CONNECTED.
When making gas pipe connections, pipe joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gases should be used.
The broiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kpa).
The broiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.45 kpa).
4. BURNERS
Check to see that air mixer caps on the front of all burners are adjusted and tightened, allowing half the
opening to show.
To install the burners:
(A) Place the front venturi end of the burner into the valve assembly by fitting the center hole of
the air mixer cap over the brass orifice.
(B) Drop the two ends of the burners over the burner support pins in the front and back of the
chamber.

4
5. RADIANTS
Mount the "A" shaped radiants over the burners with each end mounted on special supports on the front and
rear of the chamber. A radiant should be mounted over eachburner assembly..
6. TOP GRATES
Place a grate over each of the radiants. For normal operation the pointed side of the grate is facing up. For
use with foods that require extra, support, the flat side may be used.
On XXE models, grates can be placed on three levels; two positions are built into the rear of the unit; the third
position requires a special adapter which is supplied with the unit.
The adapter covers only half of the broiler. To cover the entire unit. optional adapters can be ordered.
7. LIGHTING:
Each burner has a standing pilot burner which must be lit before the burners can be lit. To light the pilot
burners:
(A) Turn all broiler valves to off position
(B) Open main gas shut off valve ( provided by customer).
(C) Press. turn counterclockwise and hold the burner control knob to the pilot burner ignition
position.
(D). Using a lit taper, light the pilot burner
(E) Release the knob after 30 seconds. Pilot burner should stay lit.
If the pilot burner does not remain lit, wait for 5 minutes and repeat steps C and D.
Hold the knob pressed longer before releasing.
(F) With a screwdriver adjust the pilot burner flame to about 1/2" (12.7 mm). Turn the adjusting
screw clockwise to reduce or counterclockwise to increase the pilot burner flame.
(G) Each burner may now be adjusted to the desired flame size by turning the individual burner
valve knob.
(H) Turn the knob to the pilot burner ignition position to shut down the main burner.
(I) Turn the knob to off position to shut down the pilot burners.
NOTE: WAIT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RELIGHT THE PILOT
BURNERS.
8. GREASE PAN
A grease pan is provided below the burners to hold any grease that drips down past the radiants while
broiling. An additional grease drawer is provided in the front right corner of the grease pan to collect the
grease from the grease drain in the front which in turn drains into the grease collector.
Water is usually added to the grease pan to reduce flare-up and flash back. The . grease drip will extinguish
as it hits the water.
9. GRIDDLE PLATE (optional)
Griddle plates should not cover more than 50% of the BROILING area. Each Griddle Plate fits on top of two
grates. It is not necessary to remove the top grates and radiants before installing the griddle plate.
10. ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(A) Keep the area around the broiler free and clear of combustible materials.
(B) The provision of an adequate air supply to your broiler is essential. Provide for sufficient
outside air to enter the broiling area and assure that this air flow is not obstructed.
(C) Air enters the burner area from the front of your broiler. Assure that this area is kept open and
unobstructed.
(D) Servicing is accomplished through the front and top of the broiler. Assure that this area is
kept unobstructed for proper servicing and operation.

5
11. INSTALLATION WITH CASTERS
(A) Install the casters with wheel brakes on the front of the appliance.
(B) Installation should be made with a connector that complies with the latest edition of the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances (ANS/Z21.69 in USA, CAN/CGA-6.16
in Canada) and a quick disconnect device that complies with the latest edition of the
Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for use with gas fuel (ANSIZ21.41 in USA, CAN1-
6.9 in Canada). Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector and any quick disconnect device or its associated
piping to limit the appliance movement.
(C) The restraint should be attached to the center of the back about 1/2" (12.7mm ) from the
bottom.
(D) If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, the restraint should be reconnected after the
appliance has been returned to its originally installed position.
II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. LIGHTING PROCEDURES
See Section 7 of INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. BROILING
BROILER TOP GRATE MUST BE HOT ENOUGH TO MAKE BLACK CHAR-MARKS WHEN STARTING
TO BROIL.
Adequate preheating time is necessary for the food to release from the broiler and to cook properly. Allow
the unit to preheat for 20-25 minutes before broiling.
(A) Do not press the juice out of the meat because that will cause dry products.
(B) After broiling, allow the meat to sit covered on a heated platter for 2-5 minutes before cutting.
This will allow the juices to "settle" and the product will be more moist.
(C) Do not use forks or other sharp objects to poke holes in the meat. Do not cut the meat as it
cooks.
(D) Thick pieces of meat require a longer broiling time with less flare-up. Reduce flare up by
trimming excess fat for a longer broil time without burning.
(E) Keep the unit clean. Food caught between the grate will not allow hot air to rise around the
product. This will result in uneven heating and increase the cooking time.
III. MAINTENANCE
1. SERVICE
Shut off the main gas supply before attempting any maintenance on the unit. If required, contact your dealer,
the factory, or a local service company to obtain qualified maintenance and repairs.
2. CARE AND CLEANING
(A) The top grates should be cleaned using a stiff wire brush. If this is done daily, the
accumulation of food and fat caught in the grates and work necessary to keep them clean will
be reduced. Periodically, they should be turned over and brushed and then put back. In the
event that an extra amount of fat is accumulated on the top, due to use of low heat, we
recommend turning up the flame of this section for about an hour, which will burn off much of
the fat and residue and the brushing operation will be easier. Under no circumstances should
the grates be placed in a dishwasher. Soap, water, or any detergents should never be used
on the cast Iron grates.
(B) Front - Sample supplied with the unit or any reputable stainless steel cleaner can be used.
.

6
(C) Inner panels - These are made of aluminized steel. Use hot soapy water and soft nylon scrub
pads to clean the surfaces.
(D) Grease pan and grease collector - Grease pan and collector should be cleaned daily or more
often if necessary.
CAUTION:
(A) Clean the unit only when it is cold.
(B) Always rub with the grains when cleaning.
(C) Do not use abrasive pads for cleaning.
(D) Do not use caustic cleaning compounds on aluminized surfaces.
