GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FUEL:
The broiler requires food grade wood pellets for operation, before starting the unit add pellets
to the hopper. The unit will cook on “hi” for approximately 4 hours without adding more pel-
lets.
Once a week the pellet hopper should be cleaned of all pellets and sawdust. We recommend
using a shop vacuum once a week to clean the hopper area.
WATER PAN/DRIP TRAY:
The water pan/drip tray is located at the bottom of the unit, and is easily removed from the
front of the unit. Water should be added to the water pan and replaced as necessary. The wa-
ter pan helps prevent flare ups and catches grease.
LIGHTING:
When the broiler is first lit, it will smoker for approximately 15 to 20 minutes as the fire starts
and oils and impurities are burned off. When you turn the unit on the igniters automatically
come on for 10 minutes to start the pellets burning. After 10 minutes the igniters automati-
cally go off. While cooking if you run out of pellets and the burner goes out, simply refill the
hopper with pellets and press the igniter button to restart the burner. The igniter will come on
for 10 minutes and then automatically shut off.
SEASONING THE COOKING GRATES:
Set the heat control switch to the “low” position and preheat for 15 to 20 minutes. Using a
cloth, spread a thin film of cooking oil over the top of the grate surface. Allow the film to re-
main on the grate for about 5 minutes. Wipe the surface clean and apply another film of cook-
ing oil. Wipe the surface clean again. The broiler is now ready for use. The oil may tend to
smoke—this is normal.
BROILING:
Turn the unit to “Hi” and pre-heat before attempting to broil. You will have to experiment
with the setting for your particular food products. Check water pans frequently and add a suf-
ficient amount of water when necessary. Hot water vapors rising form the water pans and
through the combustion chamber helps reduce flare ups. Exercise care when using your
broiler.
CAUTION—CHARBOILERS ARE HOT! FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY.
CLEANING:
Clean regularly. Remove grate section to sink for washing. Brush out carboned particles. Re-
move and wash water pan. Wipe exterior surfaces with detergent and a cloth. A non– abrasive
cleaner can be used on caked areas. The pellet hopper should be emptied an cleaned once per
week.
