CAUTION
This equipment is designed and sold for commercial
use only by personnel trained and experienced in its
operation and is not sold for consumer use in and
around the home nor for use directly by the general
public in food service locations.
These Electric Char-broilers are equipped for the

mounted on the inside immediately in back of the
water drawer front. These units are designed to
operate on alternating current (A.C.) only.

INSTALLATION
The installation of this appliance should conform to the
national electric code and local electric codes and
ordinances and the local electric company rules and
regulations.
For your protection, we recommend that a qualified
electrician install this appliance. The electrician should
be familiar with electrical installations and your local
electrical requirements. The external wiring should
be in conduit or an approved type of flexible cable
suitable for operation at 90° C and of suitable size to
carry the load. The supply circuit should be properly
fused and equipped with a means of disconnecting as
required by local electrical code. The body of the
appliance should be grounded
(Do not ground to a
gas supply pipe)
.
1. Locate the unit: Do not install the unit closer than
12 inches from a side wall and/or closer than 9
inches from a rear wall.
2. Level the char-broiler by adjusting the feet, which
have provision for 1 inch of adjustment. This
adjustment also allows a perfect alignment to be
achieved with other Star-Max™ units.
3. The terminal block can be accessed by removing
cover plate from back of broiler.
4. Fill water pan on broiler prior to use. Water
should be flush with splash baffles. Make sure
water is present in pan at all times. Note: Pan is
easily removable for cleaning.
CAUTION
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN OPENING PAN
TO PREVENT SPILLING.
5. The charbroiler is constructed of high quality,
modular grates that are also readily removable for
cleaning, and are designed to have a dedicated
heating element which is controlled by a heat
control switch.
6. Seasoning - Set the heat control switch to low
position and preheat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Using a cloth, spread a thin film of cooking oil over
the entire broiling grill surface. Allow the film to
remain on broiling grill for about 5 minutes. Wipe
surface clean and apply another film of cooking oil.
Wipe surface clean again. The broiling grill is now
ready for use. The oil may tend to smoke - this is
normal.
7. Approximate grilling temperatures range from
(with no product on grill) 350° F on low setting to
570° F on high.
CLEANING
1. Clean with a clean soft cloth daily. Any discoloration
can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.
