PERATION
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main gas shut-off valve and immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
Improper ventilation can result in headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and could result in death. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air to and from cooking appliances.
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the event of a burner ignition failure a five minute
purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
O PERATION
NOTICE
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE
Southbend Infrared broilers cook food in about half the time of conventional broilers, so adjust cooking times
accordingly.
LIGHTING AFTER GAS HAS BEEN SHUT OFF
When turning on the main gas supply after it has been shut off, do the following:
1. Make sure that all the control valves and power switches are in the OFF position.
2. Turn on the main gas supply valve(s).
3. Light the standing pilots of the appliance.
OPERATION OF INFRARED BROILER
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 grid adjusts to four
heights, and rolls out for easy access. A blower delivers fresh, filtered air to prevent smoke and vapors from affecting
broiling efficiency.
The broiler grid is 24-1/2” wide by 28” deep, and rolls out 17-1/4”. The front 3” of the grid receives less heat, and so can
be used as a holding area. As food cooks, drippings drain into a collection drawer that is out of the heat zone. To operate
the broiler, do the following:
Each broiler has two control valves. The valve on the left controls the two burners that heat the left side of the broiler, while
the valve on the right controls the two burners than heat the right side of the broiler.
1. Light the constant-burning pilots located near the front of the broiler burners (unless the pilots are already lit).
2. Press the Blower Switch to ON. (The broiler can be safely operated with the blower OFF, but the smoke and vapors
rising off the cooking food will reduce the infrared broiling efficiency.)
