Broiler Interior and Under Broiler Grates
Debris and grease that gathers inside the broiler and must be
removed.
Daily
1. Lowering the front black enamel panel and remove the
grease drawer to be empty. NEVER operate the broiler
without the grease drawer. A magnetic door catch on
the grease drawer holds the front panel closed, acting as
a simple safety reminder. The front panel will not close
when the grease drawer is not in place.
2 In order for an electric broiler to heat up the cooking
racks/grates the electric elements must be attached
to the grates. After the broiler has cooled down, clean
inside the broiler under these grates using the broiler
grate lifter supplied with the broiler to lift the racks. Once
the grates are lifted a prop will kick out that is attached to
the underside of the grates to hold assembly up. This will
allow you access to clean the inside the broiler.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE continued
Periodic Cleaning
Over time debris carbonizes on the broiler grates requiring
major cleaning with detergent soap or degrease agent. The
broiler racks can be completely removed from the attached
elements for cleaning.
WARNING: All power should be shut off prior to cleaning.
1. Lift the broiler grates as described in the daily cleaning
section.
2 You will see the elements clamps that attaches the
elements to grates. Remove the element clamps and
clean the broiler racks.
3. Reverse the above procedure to reassemble the broiler.
After major cleaning it is recommended that you re-season
the broiler grates. Broiler grates are manufactured from cast
iron, which is a porous material. Major cleaning removes the
oils in the metal that helps prevent food from sticking to the
cook surface requiring re-seasoning.
To re-season the grates heat the broiler at a low temperature
setting then rub cooking oil into the broiler rack. At this point
you are ready to begin cooking again. If food is still sticking
to the broiler grate rub more cooking oil onto the grates.
WARNING : NEVER use tin foil inside the broiler as it is a
reflective material and it could cause the temperature to
escalate beyond the normal range of the broiler design.
