COMMISIONING
Operation of the Chargrill is by the control knobs on the fascia panel. When rotated clockwise the control knob
provides power to the appropriate element. This appliance comes supplied with a water connection at the back.
There is a an overflow pipe in case of accidental overfilling of the tank that must be connected to waste. Do not run
this appliance without water in the tank the appliance must be operated with water between the level indicators. To fill the
tank to the specified level the water valve at the front is opened anticlockwise. Close the valve as soon as the bottom level
has been reached. If the appliance starts to over flow before the water level reaches the second leg of the level gauge the
rear legs should be adjusted up. When the level has been reached remember to close the valve clockwise, do not over
tighten. The appliance can be manually filled in emergencies and a funnel is supplied that attaches to the mains filler at
the rear left of the unit. Due to the high temperatures that this appliance attains and the greater depth of our Opus
appliances we do not recommend this as a regular way to use the equipment. Suitable PPE must be worn and the filling
should be carried out carefully ensuring no overspill.
NB: If the water level is not maintained the safety cut-out under the front of the fascia will operate. The appliance will
then need resetting when it has cooled down. Frequent cutting out is an indication that the water level is not being
maintained correctly. The amber neon will go out if the safety cut-out has tripped. When the appliance has cooled the red
button on the cut-out can be can be pressed to reset it. When refilling after the appliance has overheated extreme caution
should be advised as the cold water may react with the contents if they have been allowed to build up and become
volatile.
Preparation of the appliance
Before using the appliance for the first time, ensure that all protective coating is removed from the unit. The branding
plates should be washed and immediately dried with a clean cloth and coated with a thin film of cooking oil. This oil
when heated by the elements will encourage a coating that resists rust. The appliance should be run to season the branding
plates. During the lifetime of the appliance this coating process can be repeated whenever the coating has been removed.
It will prevent rust on the cast iron grids. Do not put the branding plates into a decarboniser!
OPERATION OF EITHER APPLIANCE
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch. The green neon will light indicating that mains power is on. The amber
neon will indicate that the safety cut-out is set correctly. Turn the control knob to the required set point. The element will
start to glow dull red if the knob is set to 6. At position 6 the element stays on constantly. Other positions will pulse the
electricity to give less heat, however even though the elements may not glow they are still extremely hot and should be
treated accordingly.
OE7405 600mm CHARGRILL CONTROL
Check the green ‘power on’ neon on the control panel is illuminated.
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch. The green neon will light indicating that
mains power is on. The four branding plates create one large cooking zone. This is divided
into three equal areas each area has its own control.
Turn the control knob to the required set point. When the temperature reaches the selected set
point, the element will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. Setting 6 remains on
full and does not cycle.
Each zone can be independently controlled between 1 and 6
The orange light will only go out if the safety stat detects that the water level is too low.
OE7406 900mm CHARGRILL CONTROL
Turn on the power supply at the isolating switch.
The six branding plates create one large cooking zone. This is divided into six equal areas
each area has its own control.
NB: for additional safety this appliance has two cut-outs. Either cut-out will trip BOTH
elements therefore if the appliance runs low and trips out check both safety thermostat reset
buttons. The amber neon will be on only when both safety stats have been reset.
Each zone can be independently controlled between 1 and 6.
