OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting Procedures
See Lighting Section under Installation Instructions.
Broiling
Broiler top grate must be hot enough to make black
char-marks when starting to broil.
Adequate preheating time is necessary for the food to
release from the broiler and to cook properly. Allow the
unit to preheat for 20-25 minutes before broiling.
(A) Do not press the juice out of the meat because
that will cause dry products.
(B) After broiling, allow the meat to sit covered on
a heated platter for 2-5 minutes before cutting.
This will allow the juices to “settle” and the
product will be more moist.
(C) Do not use forks or other sharp objects to poke
holes in the meat. Do not cut the meat as it
cooks.
(D) Thick pieces of meat require a longer broiling
time with less flare-up. Reduce flare up by
trimming excess fat for a longer broil time without
burning.
(E) Keep the unit clean. Food caught between the
grate will not allow hot air to rise around the
product. This will result in uneven heating and
increase the cooking time.
MAINTENANCE
Service
Shut off the main gas supply before attempting any
maintenance on the unit. If required, contact your
dealer, the factory, or a local service company to obtain
qualified maintenance and repairs.
Care And Cleaning
(A) The top grates should be cleaned using a stiff
wire brush. If this is done daily, the accumulation
of food and fat caught in the grates and work
necessary to keep them clean will be reduced.
Periodically, they should be turned over and
brushed and then put back. In the event that an
extra amount of fat is accumulated on the top,
due to use of low heat, we recommend turning up
the flame of this section for about an hour, which
will burn off much of the fat and residue and
the brushing operation will be easier. Under no
circumstances should the grates be placed in a
dishwasher. Soap, water, or any detergents should
never be used on the cast iron grates.
(B) Front - Sample supplied with the unit or any
reputable stainless steel cleaner can be used.
(C) Inner panels - These are made of aluminized
steel. Use hot soapy water and soft nylon scrub
pads to clean the surfaces.
(D) Grease pan and grease collector - Grease pan and
collector should be cleaned daily or more often if
necessary.
Cleaning Tools
Several models of specially designed top grate brushes
and grease drain scrapers are available from Bakers
Pride. Contact Bakers Pride for more information.
(A) Clean the unit only when it is cold.
(B) Always rub with the grains when cleaning.
(C) Do not use abrasive pads for cleaning.
(D) Do not use caustic cleaning compounds on
aluminized surfaces.
