COMMENT
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The char-broiler is INFINITE SWITCH CONTROLLED. Power is
applied to the heating elements based on the control knob position and
the amount of energy used.
INDICATOR LIGHT

contact and spatula abrasion, resulting in prolonged element life and
reduced carbonization. The grate is easily removed for cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Always remove the grate before lifting the element
assembly.
ELEMENT SUPPORT ROD
Hold element assembly in up position. Engages automatically when the
element assembly is raised.
IMPORTANT: Remember to dis-engage the support rod before
