    Posted by yatesp on August 14, 2020 at 11:55 am
  • Cannot find any serial, model or numbers at all for the model shown below.
  • The salamander on top, and the cooktop work great.
  • However my teacher is having a lot of trouble with the stove. It isn’t heating up.
  • We need some parts so that our maintenance dept. can get this working.
  • Is there a way of finding out what the #’s are?

      Garland Product Identification Plate Locations

      Could you provide some close up pictures…and from the direct front? A photo 30′ away doesn’t show much detail.

      Additionally, you said the salamander & cooktop works, but not the “stove”.

      By stove, do you mean the OVEN?

      Lots of ways to narrow it down, but not to the exact model.

      1 Remove the kick plate below the oven. Look at the left side inside or on the back of the plate.

      2 Give us some pictures of the burners, and oven burner and pilot system and the oven pilot safety valve..

      3 The Salamander may be a different model number, so show us the burners and the reactor plates or infared elements.

      4 Also the bottom right of the door has a emblem, so show us that.

      Now, when it comes to the oven, You have to remove the bottom plate that covers the burner and watch what is happening. Is the pilot lit? Does the main burner come on? What type of safety system does it have?

      Only cause I had to stop and think to not screw this one up. You know how old feeble minds get.

      I forgot to ask him if the oven had a fan in it. Told you I had a feeble mind.

        Good point, which didn’t think of.

        There’s a cord. There also might be a switch that’s not visible due to the angle of the pic.

      Is that a yellow residential gas line I see poking out from behind that unit?

        I zoomed in and that is a commercial hose.

        T&S commercial gas hoses are all yellow. Krown commercial gas hoses are all green. Regency commercial gas hoses are yellow for moveable equipment and black for stationary equipment. Dormont commercial gas hoses are blue for moveable equipment and yellow for stationary equipment.

        To name a few. So, there’s no industry-wide standard color coding for commercial hoses that I can tell.

        Otherwise, yellow is the standard color for the visibly “corrugated” CSST hoses often used in homes.

        Commercial hoses have the shiny & smooth PVC-coated protective layer.

      I have one that look identical from Jade and the bottom plate below the oven if you lift it up should have data on the equipment.

      It apears to be a very sparse and spread out kitchen. But they have the important part there. The coffee pot!

        <div>

        Had one just like that at home for awhile. A customer gave it to me. Too big for the counter where I live at now, so I chucked it when I moved. I miss that thing every morning.

      This is what I was talking about by the way. Inside should be the data you are looking for on a label.

      Should be able to just lift it up.

      that looks to be a Garland H280 series

      H286RC if it has a convection oven. drop the RC if no C/oven

      the salamander looks like a GIR36

        Close, but I don’t think so. The H280 has louvers in the kick panel:

        H280 Series 36″ Wide Gas Restaurant Range

        His range doesn’t have louvers. On his range, there’s also an outward-protruding “dimple” on the side which is in-line with the gas manifold. That means it’s a modular range. That SS section of the side panel can be removed so the unit’s gas manifold can be batteried to another unit (e.g., broiler, griddle, another range) – on either side. SO…I was thinking that unit might be an earlier rendition of THIS series:

        Master Series Heavy Duty Open Burner Top Range

        EITHER WAY, they both use the same FDO-type modulating thermostat
        for the oven (standard OR convection oven). Those stats DO fail and a
        new one (if that’s what is needed) would need to be replaced by a
        qualified technician for it to work properly.

        *********************************

        This reminds me of 20+ yrs ago when I had to draw a friggin’ picture of a unit, then go back to the shop to thumb through our massive hard-copy library of manual for pictures/illustrations in ’em in order to determine a possibly suitable model number (No smart phone with a camera. No CELL phone. Just a pager).

        OH…but we had pay phones/phone booths!

        Ain’t the inernet and smart pones a wunderful thang? (it even corrects your spelling!)
