THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED FOR NATURAL GAS.
For Natural gas when equipped with No. #31 drill size orifice.
For LP gas when equipped with No.#52 drill size orifice.
For conversion to LP gas orifice see instruction plate on the appliance, see Page 11.
INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications
on the rating plate located underneath the Salamander rack drip tray. If the supply and
equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer
immediately.
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the Salamander is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 5 days of delivery.
Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) and the clearance dimensions (see below)
agree with the specifications on the rating plate which is located under the crumb tray on the right side.
LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
A minimum front clearance of 24" is required.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance for air openings into the
combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to replace air
taken out by the ventilating system. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the Salamander. Avoid wall-type fans
which create air cross currents with in the room. Avoid open windows next to the Salamander. Maintain an
18" (46 cm) clearance from the top of the Salamander flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
The Salamander must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States of America:
1. State and local codes.
2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). This shall include but not be limited to: NFPA #54
Section 10.3.5.2 for Venting. Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards
Committee Z223, @ 400N. Capita l St. NW, Washing ton, DC 20001 or the Secretary Standards Council, NFP A,1
Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169 -7471
NOTE: In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Al l gas appliances vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust system equipped with a damper or with a power means
of exhaust shall comply with 248 CMR.
3.NFPA Standard # 96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment , latest edition, available from the National Fire
Protection Association, Batterymarch Park , Quincy, MA 02269. In Canada:
1. Local codes.
2. CAN/CSA-B 149.1 Natural Gas Installation (latest edition)
3. CAN/CSA-B 149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the Canadian Gas Association, 178
Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2ps i(3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
GAS CONNECTIONS
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the Salamander.
NATURAL GAS: Standard orifices are set at 5" W .C. (Water Column). A pressure regulator is supplied and must be
installed when the Salamander is connected to the gas supply.
LP GAS: Standard orifices are set at 10" W .C. (Water Column). A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed
when the Salamander is connected to the gas supply.

5
The gas supply line must be ¾” or larger. If flexible or semi-rigid connections are used, the inside diameter must
be the equivalent of ¾” iron pip e or larger. All connections of the flexible and semi-rigid type must comply with
all local and national requirements. Make sure gas piping is clean and free of dirt, piping compound, and
obstructions.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER
SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION
Gas regulator pressure is preset at 5” Water Column (W .C.) for natural gas, and 10” W .C.
For propane gas. Minor adjustments may be required based on site specific gas pressure.
Install the regulator as close to the Salamander on the gas supply line as possible. Make sure that the arrow on
the underside of the regulator is oriented in the direction of gas flow to the Salamander (Fig. 1) and the
regulator is positioned with the vent plug and adjustment screw upright ( Fig. 2). A recommended plumbing
schematic is listed below only for Salamander units as a guide to the installer and it is in no way liable for
plumbing installation ( Fig. 3).

OPERATION
WARNING : THE SALAMANDER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING
THE SALAMANDER.
CONTROLS
Angle d Handl e —Elevates or lowers the broiling drawer and grate to different positions. Grasp the handle and pull
towards Salamander cavity. This releases the mechanism and allows the lifting handle to move into the desired position.
Burne r Valv e —Regulatethe flow of gas to the burners. Gas flow is increased by turning the valve counterclockwise.
Drip Tray —Collects grease and waste which is diverted by the drip shield.
DO NOT allow the drip tray to overflow. Empty the drip tray when three-quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.
Drawer Handle —Pull the drawer out for loading and unloading. To operate, pull straight out.
LIGHTING, RELIGHTING, AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn burner valve to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes.
2. Light the pilot adjacent to the main burner. Adjust the pilot valve screw until the pilot flame has a slight yellow tip.
3. After the pilot has been established, turn the burner valve to the ON position.
4. If the burners fail to light, turn off all valves, wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 1 -3.
5. To shut down, turn the burner valve to the OFF position.
RACK POSTION AND GAS SETTING
Each operator will find the optimum rack position and gas setting for various products; however, it is recommended that
gas input be reduced first when lower rack temperatures are desired. Further reduction in rack temperatures, if
necessary, can then be obtained by lowering rack position. Infrared burner must use the full on gas setting.
CLEANING
1. Allow Salamander to cool.
2. To remove Salamander rack for cleaning, adjust Salamander rack to center position.
3. Position left and right hands simultaneously on edges of Salamander rack and raise both rack stops.
4. Slide Salamander rack and drip tray forward past rack stops, (which must be pivoted out of the way)
holding tray up against racks.
5. Remove Salamander rack and drip tray from Salamander.
6. Let back of tray drop down to vertical to allow front hooks to disengage.
7. Remove drip pan from Salamander rack and clean as you would any normal utensil, using care not to
damage the front hooks
8. To replace, hook the drip tray to the Salamander rack while tray is in a vertical position.
9. Replace Salamander rack and drip tray in side channels while holding tray up close to rack.
10. Clean bottom pan. Slide pan out and wash with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
clean cloth.
11. Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent and water, using a damp cloth, or with a commercial
stainless steel cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
12. Burner ports and throats should be thoroughly cleaned. Venturi must be free from grease and lint.
DO NOT insert tooth pick or any sharp object in burner port holes.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE SALAMANDER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING, OR
SERVICING THE SALAMANDER.
LUBRICATION: Burner valve stems must be lubricated. Upon sticking, a burner valve stem should receive
maintenance from your local authorized servicer.
PILOT LIGHTS: Pilot lights are to be kept clean and adjusted at the proper flame height.
VENT: Annually, when the Salamander is cool, check the flue and clear any obstructions.
SERVICE AND PARTS IN FORMATION: Contact your local Service Agency to obtain service and parts information.

then screw in the LP gas orifice *#52(φ1.68mm)+ clockwise.
3. Change the pressure regulator spring kit to LP gas model, set at 10" W .C. (Water Column).
Fig.9, Fig.10
4. Turn pilot adjustment screw clockwise, then light standing pilot and adjust flame to be 1/4" high.
