LIGHTING and OPERATIONS
2.1 SETTING THE RADIANTS
Before use, check and clean inside unit to remove any
accumulation of grease from previous use.
Ensure radiants are positioned as detailed in Figure 1.
If radiants are not positioned as shown then branding
temperatures will not be spread evenly across the
cooking area.
To reposition a radiant, simply remove irons and adjust
to ensure radiants are correctly positioned.
2.2 BRANDING IRONS
Brander bars are fitted in sets of four (400mm),
six (600mm), nine (900mm), twelve (1200mm) and fifteen
(1500mm).
Bars have integral drain channels on both sides and are
reversible.
2.3 GRIDDLE PLATE ACCESSORY
Ensure plate is located in position upon brander bars
before lighting.
Plate can be located in any position along cooking area
with forward-facing handle to front and vertical handle to
rear. Push plate back until rear flange is fully against
brander bars to ensure that any food residue drains into
drip tray.
The plate may require to be oiled before use with some
food items.
The unit has been tested to ensure optimum safety and
performance is achieved using just one griddle plate.
As with all equipment, optimum performance will depend
upon food type, quality and quantity with cooking times
adjusted to suit.
2.4 LIGHTING THE BURNERS
2.4.1 Manual Ignition of Pilot
See Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Proceed as follows:
a) Push tap in and turn anti-clockwise to pilot position.
b) Hold tap fully in. Insert hand-held gas lighter in hole
relative to tap being operated. Repeat procedure until
pilot flame ignites.
c) When pilot is lit, continue to hold tap fully in for
20 seconds before release. If pilot goes out,
wait 3 minutes and repeat from (b).
d) Repeat for remaining burners using other ports and
respective gas taps.
SECTION 1 -
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The chargrill is supplied upon adjustable feet and can be
installed upon a counter or table using a bench mounting
kit supplied by Falcon.
All models are controlled by combined on/off tap and
flame failure device. Standard burner ignition is by pilot,
lit by piezo ignition. Back-up ignition is by gas lighter
(not supplied).
The control tap(s) on all models have indented positions
for HIGH (large flame) and LOW (small flame).
Figure 1 - Radiant Positions

2.5 TURNING THE BURNER OFF

For Short Periods
To turn off burner leaving pilot lit, push in knob and turn it
clockwise to pilot position.
For Long Periods e.g. Overnight
To turn off burner and pilot, push in knob and turn
clockwise to OFF position.
Note
Every turn of the tap has to be preceded by control being
pushed in.
Safety Precautions
A stopcock must be fitted in the pipework that supplies
gas to appliance. The user must be familiar with the
location and operation of this device to enable gas to be
turned OFF in an emergency.
2.4.2 G3425, G3625, G3925, G31225, G31525 Models
Piezo Ignition

20 seconds before release. If pilot goes out, wait
3 minutes and repeat from (b).
f) Repeat for remaining burners using other ports and
respective gas taps.
If piezo igniter is non-functional, then back up ignition is
achieved by manual ignition (See Section 2.4.1).

SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS
The operator has variable options that may effect cooking
performance. These are:-
Temperature Setting
HIGH (maximum power) to LOW (minimum power)
Position of Branding Bars
The rear of the bars can be set low or can be raised to
rest on ledge located approximately 50mm above
low position.
Cut of meat, size and weight of portion, fat content of
food, food temperature, temperature setting and personal
opinion.
It is good practice to locate bars at in a preferred position
before lighting burners. This will avoid the bars having to
be moved when they are extremely hot.
The cooler area at the front is an ideal resting place for
food to be held prior to serving.
It is always best to preheat bars using HIGH flame
(maximum) setting for 30 minutes. Once heated, controls
may be turned down if preferred.
We recommend cooking the majority of foodstuff at
HIGH flame setting in low branding bar position.
During quiet periods, unit can be turned down to
LOW flame or pilot settings to conserve energy.
Chargrilling is a dry method of cooking.
Due to excessive dry heat, certain types of food are
particularly suitable for chargrilling. Some food items may
benefit from being marinated prior to cooking.
Lubrication is required to prevent food sticking to
branding bars. Either lightly oil bars or the foodstuff.
