IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using gas cooking equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
The Charbroiler burners, cooking grates and outside surfaces will become HOT after use. Use caution when touching
the unit.
• Never directly touch the burners or cooking grates while the charbroiler is on.
• Always turn off the unit when not in use, when servicing, or adjusting any parts or attachments, and before cleaning.
• Never leave the charbroiler on overnight.
• Do not operate any equipment with a damaged or leaking gas line, ignitor or valves or if the unit is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Call for service.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause re, injury or even death.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not use this equipment for any use other than the use intended by the manufacturer.
• Never use the charbroiler as a heating source
• The Globe charbroiler does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Globe recommends that qualied
technicians should carry out repairs. Do not remove any components or service panels on this product.
• Never bypass, alter, modify or attach any unauthorized parts to this equipment. Doing so may create
hazards and will void the warranty.
• Globe takes every care to ensure that all products are safe. Steel cutting procedures used to manufacture

Operating Instructions
Operating the Charbroiler - Pilot Lighting Instructions
Before operating the charbroiler, it should be checked to see that it is sitting level. Adjust the feet to level the
charbroiler. Be sure the catch tray has been properly placed.
The pilot lights on the appliance have been set at the factory. Each burner has a pilot light.
1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. The main gas valve should be “CLOSED/OFF” for ve (5) minutes prior to lighting pilots to clear
any existing gas.
3. Turn the main gas valve to “ON/OPEN”.
4. Light and hold an ignition source (match) at the pilot. When the ame is established, remove the
ignition source. Repeat this step for each burner as each burner has its own individual pilot.
The pilot can be reached through the holes on the front of the unit or through the top grate, removing the
radiant or the char rocks before attempting to light.
5. Turn each burner knob “ON”. If the burners do not ignite promptly, turn the knobs “OFF”. From the
opening in the front panel, use a screwdriver and turn the pilot valve screw counterclockwise which will
increase the ame height, and then repeat step 4.
If the pilot ame appears larger than necessary, turn it down and reset burner ignition. The pilot ame
should be as small as possible, but large enough to guarantee reliable ignition of the burners when the
knobs are turned to “ON”. The holes located in the front panel are pilot valve adjustments. Use a
screwdriver to turn the valve to adjust the ame height to your desired level.
Igniting the Burner
To ignite the burner, turn knob to the “ON” position. Then back off to the desired ame level. The range of
adjustment is virtually innite between “ON” and “OFF”.
The space between the legs at the bottom admits combustion air. DO NOT BLOCK THIS SPACE.
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the valve to the desired ame height is all that is required
to put the unit in service.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit’s sides or
back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room.
It is also necessary that sufcient air be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed
by any ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will occur, affecting operation and
causing undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in which
the unit is installed, and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the balance of gas, volume and air supply to each burner. This must be done
by an authorized service technician.

Operating Instructions
Operating the Charbroiler
Prior to operating your new charbroiler, thoroughly wash the exterior with a mild detergent or soap solution. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, since this might damage the cabinet nish. If the stainless steel surfaces become
discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the nished grain.
Turn the burners on about 15-20 minutes before cooking for preheating. Set the knobs to the desired ame
height or temperature. Each valve will control the gas ow to the burner to bring that area of the unit up to the set
temperature. If different temperature settings are to be used, adjoining areas should be set at progressively higher
temperatures using the lowest temperatures on the outside burners. A uniform and systematic approach to the
loading of the unit will produce the most consistent product results.
NOTE: When the charbroiler is rst heated, it will smoke until oil (used in manufacturing) and dust (from storage
and shipping) are burned off. An hour at maximum for all burners is usually sufcient.
Radiant Charbroiler
1. Place the angled radiants in their position as shown in 8-1
2. Make sure that the radiants are setting properly into the slots on the front and rear supports. Radiants should be
centered over straight sections of the burners.
Rock Charbroiler
1. Place the racks that hold the rocks into position over
the burners.
2. Place the char rocks on the rack. Do not pile or stack
the char rocks.
3. Please use following amount of char rocks per model:
Set rocks as seen in photo.
GCB15G-RK: 24 pcs
GCB24G-RK: 48 pcs
GCB36G-RK: 72 pcs
GCB48G-RK: 96 pcs
COOKING GRATES
Place the top cooking grates with the grid bars angled
toward the front as shown in Fig. 8-2. Or, place the grid
bars at, not angled, for cooking.
NOTE: When cooking grates are placed angled toward the
front, the grooves on top will guide the excess fat drippings
into the grease trough.
The cooking grates, cast iron radiants, and char rock grids
are heavy duty cast iron which will oxidize if emerged in
water. Lightly oil grates when not being used regularly.

• DO NOT use any abrasive or ammable cleaning uids.
• DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the charbroiler, excluding the catch tray.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and
ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit.
IF CLEANING THE BURNER OF THE CHARBROILER, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED
TO THE CLOSED POSITION. AFTER CLEANING, THE GAS LINE CAN BE SWITCHED BACK TO THE
OPEN POSITION. PLEASE FOLLOW THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO RELIGHT
THE CHARBROILER’S PILOT LIGHTS.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING
It takes very little time and effort to keep the charbroiler attractive and performing at top efciency. Wait at least one
hour for the unit and grates to cool after the unit has been turned off. Please follow the cleaning steps below:
PART REQUIRED ACTION FREQUENCY
