INSTALLATION
EXTERIOR:
Most of the exterior is stainless steel and enamel, and any reputable cleaner will keep this in good
condition.
TOP GRIDS:
DAILY– Clean both sides regularly with a wire brush. Special attention should be given to the
grease troughs on either side of the grid ribs, since this is where the rendered fat from the broiling
operation runs off. If accumulation of carbon develops there, the fats will build up and drop from
the points of carbon instead of running all the way down to the end of the grid into the grease
trough.
WEEKLY– The grids should be removed at least once a week and be scrubbed thoroughly. Done
regularly, this is an easy job; but if neglected, strong methods must be used.
CAST IRON GATES AND CERAMIC COALS:
Owing to the extreme heat required for char-broiling, the cast iron grates receive the greatest
amount of wear. In busy operations, this could be in a 6-month period. To insure the longest
possible life, coals and grates should be removed every few days and grates brushed. When
grates become too badly warped, they should be replaced.
BURNERS:
Remove and clean the burners with a wire brush weekly. If burner ports are clogged, ream with a
stiff wire. After one year, it’s possible burners will warp and need replacing owing to the intense
heat and radiation.
GREASE CONTAINERS:
Each unit contains at least one grease container to catch grease, (in the far left hand corner of the
broiler), and at least one large tray to catch drippings from the broiler. The large tray should be
removed every couple of days and washed thoroughly. The small grease container should be
removed to empty accumulated grease and avoid overflow. The shield over the grease can pro-
tect it from the intense infra-red rays, avoiding a fire hazard. When these pans are out, it’s a good
idea to wipe out the interior of the unit with a warm soapy cloth to prevent grease and
carbonization buildup.
DEBRIS SCREEN:
A removable debris screen is located above the drip tray to catch large particles that fall through
the broiling grids. This should be removed and cleaned daily.
