I NFRARED/ R ADIANT C OMPACT B ROILER
O PERATION OF I NFRARED C OMPACT B ROILER
Southbend infrared broilers broil in half the time of ordinary broilers. The burners reach operating temperature in just 90
seconds, and their intense infrared energy quickly heats the food, not the surrounding air. The broiling rack adjusts to five
heights, and rolls out for easy access.
The cooking area has removable racks and drip trays for cleaning. As food cooks, drippings drain into a collection tray on
the bottom of the broiler cavity. To operate the broiler, do the following:
1. Light the constant-burning pilots located near the front of the broiler burners, unless the pilots are already lit. (See
page 10 for directions on how to light the pilots).
2. If necessary, pull out and empty the bottom grease drawer. (Always keep the drip trays in place while broiling. Without
it in place, excessive air will be pulled past the burners, reducing the cooking temperature and efficiency.)
3.
Infrared: Turn the burner control to HIGH and visually check that the burners have ignited. When the burners ignite,
a blue haze-type flame will cover the surface of the ceramics, but will gradually disappear within two minutes.

Broiler Operation
Keep the bottom drip pan in place when broiling. Without it in place, excessive air is
pulled past the burners, reducing tempreture and cooking effinciency.
