CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
Weekly
Thoroughly clean the exposed surfaces of broiler, sides,
front and top grease trough, with a damp cloth, then
polish with a soft, dry cloth. A detergent may be used for
cleaning. To remove discoloration, use a non- abrasive
cleaner.
After performing daily cleaning procedures, proceed with
the following:
A. Remove the radiants or rock grates. Clean reflecting
drip shield of any dust or debris with a brush.
Initial Cleaning:
Prior to operating your new broiler, thoroughly wash
the exterior with a mild detergent or soap solution. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, since this might damage the
cabinet finish. If the stainless steel surfaces become
discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the
finished grain.
When the broiler is first heated, it will smoke until oil
used in manufacturing, preservation and dust from
storage and shipping are burned off. An hour at “MAX”
on all burners is usually sufficient.
Cleaning:
Daily
Remove the grease pan, empty and wash it.
Grate “burn off”. The grease buildup on the grates
should be cleaned daily (more often as needed).
A.
Caution: When handling grates or radiants, always
use insulated gloves to prevent burns.
B.
Warning: Do not cover the top of the grid grates
during a burn off operation. Restricting the airflow
by covering the grid grates may cause them to warp.
It will also cause damage to the valves, the knobs,
the rock grates and the front panel decal.
C. Place grates on broiler, with grid bars horizontal,
facing down.
D. Turn control knobs to “HI” for approximately 45
minutes.
E. Turn off the broiler and allow it to cool for 20
minutes.
F. Clean top and bottom surfaces of grate with a wire
brush to remove animal fats and carbonized grease.
G. Clean channels on grates with a scraper.
H. Remove grates from broiler. Clean top surface of
radiants with the wire brush. They may be cleaned
in place.
B. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.
C. Burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners,
boil them in a strong solution of lye water for fifteen
to twenty minutes. Then, either brush with a wire
brush or clean gas ports with a sharp-pointed metal
instrument to insure open ports.
Top cooking grates and rock grates are heavy. For
applications where you use abundant sauces,
radiants and rock grates should be cleaned more
often.
NOTICE
Clean the regulator at least once a month. Make
sure the vent opening is open and not blocked in
any way. Failure to do so will cause variations in
pressure. Your unit will not function as well and it
could shorten the life of the product.
CAUTION
Extended Shutdown:
Turn the manual shutoff valve to “OFF”; (*field installed
valve not supplied by the manufacturer), turn all control
knobs to the “OFF” position and shut off the pilot flame
by turning the adjustment on the pilot valve.
Gas shutoff valve is supplied by the manufacturer
on CE or European Community models.
