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 broiler. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents
within the room. Avoid open windows next to the broiler. Maintain an 18" (46 cm)
clearance from the top of the broiler flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
The broiler must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States of America:

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the broiler.
NATURAL GAS: Standard orifices are set at 5" W.C. (Water Column). A pressure
regulator is supplied and must be installed when the broiler is connected to the gas
supply.
PROPANE GAS: Standard orifices are set at 10" W.C. (Water Column). A pressure
regulator is supplied and must be installed when the broiler is connected to the gas
supply.

- 6-
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 pipe 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 broiler 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 broiler (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 guide to the installer and ITW Cooking Equipment or Hobart is in no
way liable for plumbing installation (Fig. 3).

The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W .C. for natural
gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the regulator be connected to
supply pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the broiler. It
is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a
ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from
the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition),
available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269.
ASSEMBLY
Salamander Broiler Mounted on a Wall (Fig. 4).
The separate wall mounting bracket accessory (WALLMNT-CHRBKR) will be needed to
wall mount the unit.
1. Follow the combustible/noncombustible clearance guidelines that are listed in the
“Installation” section in this manual.
2. Make sure brackets are level and properly spaced so that bracket holes will align
with the threaded holes on the bottom of the unit to be mounted. The short leg of the
bracket with the holes that are nearest the elbow bend is to be placed against the
wall. (Fig. 5)
3. Secure brackets to wall by means of lag screws or bolts. (Fig. 5)
4. Mount the brackets only in the upside-down “L” position as shown. (Fig. 5)
5. Make sure the lag bolts or screws engage wall studs. Ensure that the wall
construction is of the type that will support the salamander weight.
6. Place the salamander into position on the brackets, making sure that the unit’s
bottom threaded attachment points are aligned with the holes in the brackets.(Fig. 6)
7. Secure unit into position with 3/8” bolts at the bottom of the unit.
Thread the bolts through the holes in the brackets and into the threaded attachment
points on the bottom of the unit. (Fig. 6)

OPERATION
WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BROILER.

- 10 -
CONTROLS
Dual Zone Controls —Controls cooking areas in the left and right hand side of the cavity
allowing for flexibility and premium cooking performance.
Angled Handle —elevates or lowers the broiling grid to different positions. Grasp the
handle and pull towards broiler cavity. This releases the mechanism
and allows the lifting handle to move into the desired position.
Burner Valve —regulates the 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 tilt of 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.
Rack Handle —glides the grid forward for easy 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. There are two pilots to light, on each end of the cooking
chamber.
3. After the pilot has been established, turn the burner valve to the ON position. The
burner flames may be adjusted, using the air shutters located behind the manifold
cover in the front of the range. There are no shutters on the IRB models.
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 valves to the OFF position.
RACK POSITION 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 Models must use the full gas setting. Max and
minimum temperatures can be achieved at the following settings:
2 Burners On, rack at highest position, valves set to High –800°F
1 Burner On, rack at lowest position, valves set to Low –250°F
CLEANING
1. Allow broiler to cool.
2. To remove broiler rack for cleaning, adjust broiler rack to center position.
