USER INSTRUCTION
APPLIANCE USE
This appliance is only for professional use and should only be used by qualified personnel.
Ensure that the person responsible understands how to light, safely operate, clean and shut
down the appliance and is made aware of the position and operation of the gas isolating cock
in the event of an emergency.
ROUTINE CLEANING
It is important that users of the appliance shall systematically check and clean down as
necessary areas of the grill that have accumulated oils, fats and other combustible
debris from previous cooking.
This is to prevent the potential risk of fire.
Cleaning of the appliance and its parts must be done when the appliance is cold and
before the start of service.
Areas to Check
Branding plate –Regularly remove any debris build up on the branding grid.
Debris Collection Trays –The trays will need to be emptied and cleaned before use
from old fats and oils that may have accumulated from previous cooking.
Failure to routinely clean debris trays may lead to risk of fire.
It may be necessary to empty frequently during heavy usage of the appliance. The tray
is likely to be hot and should be handled carefully with heat resistant gloves.
Oven Cavity –When the appliance has cooled remove the toast rack, branding plate
and crumb tray. Clean the cavity as necessary of any build up of debris, oils and fats.
Advisory note: Do not allow the branding grid tray to fill as handling will become
difficult and spillage likely to occur.
LIGHTING SEQUENCE
The operation of each burner is identical.
To light the gas at a burner, select the corresponding control knob, depress and rotate 90o
anti-clockwise. Whilst maintaining the control knob in the depressed position light the gas at
the corresponding burner using a gas wand, piezo wand or taper.
If the appliance has stood unused for any length of time it may be necessary to purge
the burner lines of air.
After establishing the flame at the burner; maintain the control knob in the depressed
position for approximately 15 seconds to retain the flame. Confirmation of the established
flame is made by releasing the control knob.
COOKING ZONE
The cooking zone is controlled by the gas valves. The cooking temperature can be controlled
at any point between the low rate and the full rate. Temperature across the cooking zone can
be graduated to suit application.

IS601 ECN3894 9
USING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance can be used with or without the branding grid.
The toast rack is heavy and it is not recommended to remove the rack during service
with product or trays placed on the rack.
It is advisable that product to be toasted be placed on a suitable tray which is then
placed on the rack whilst in a flat position.
If using to gratinate the rack needs to be positioned flat and at a height that best suits
application. Additional temperature control can be obtained from the setting of the control
knobs.
The optimum positions for the toast rack when flat are either on the 2nd shelf postion or 3rd
shelf position from the top.
The branding grid is very heavy and is placed onto the toast rack.
The locating holes in the branding plate align with the locating pins on the toast rack.
Do not attempt to reposition the height of the branding plate and rack when the
appliance is hot.
For grilling the best results are obtained with the branding plate in and angled position to
allow for drainage of fats, juices to be collected in the debris tray.
The optimum branding grid height will have to be determined that best suits application.
In most cases the position of the toast rack and branding grid will be angled between the 2nd
and 3rd shelf positions from the top with the front of the branding plate in the lower position.
When grilling product the product should be handled with suitable tongs.
Parts of the toast rack, branding grid, debris tray and crumb tray can become very hot
during service. Care must be taken to avoid injury.
GRILLING
Any food product to be cooked on the branding plate must be placed directly with the aid of
suitable tongs for the purpose to prevent injury from burns. Cooked food must be removed
with tongs whilst the appliance is in operation.
The minimum safe working distance from the front of the appliance when in full operation is
600mm. If the appliance is to be left unattended for long periods then the appliance burners
should be reduced to the lowest position or turned off completely.
Do not place any container, plate or anything else on the top of the hood of the appliance that
may cause an obstruction to flue gasses.
Do not place any combustible material on the top of the appliance hood.
