PLATINUM SERIES RANGE OPERATION Figure 6 Operation of Charbroiler Section Each control knob can be turned to OFF, or to any position in the range from LOW-to-HIGH. Each 6”-wide burner top-grate can be turned over to provide either wide branding marks or narrower branding marks with channels to carry away drippings (and so reduce flare up). The back-to-front slope of each topgrate is adjusted by positioning the back end of the top-grate on either the lower or the higher grate-support rail.
