CLEANING
At least once a day, remove the grease pan, empty and wash it out in the same way you would any
cooking utensil.
"Burn off" the grease build-up on the grate daily or as dictated by use. Always use insulated gloves
when handling grates or radiants to prevent burns.
CAUTION: Do not cover the top of the grid grates during a burn-off operation. Restricting the
air flow by covering the grid grates may cause them to warp.
The top grid grates and radiants are heavy. They may break if dropped or bumped.
To "burn off" the grates:
1. Place grates on broiler with grid bars horizontal, facing down.
2. Turn control knobs to HI for approximately 45 minutes.
3. Turn broiler OFF and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
4. Clean top and bottom surfaces of grate with a wire brush to remove animal fats and carbonized
grease.
5. Clean channels on grates with a scraper.
6. Remove grates from broiler. Clean top surface of radiants with the wire brush. They may be
cleaned in place.
7. Once a week, after completing steps 1-6, remove the radiants. Using a brush, clean reflecting drip
shield (see Fig. 1) of any dust or debris.
Once a week, thoroughly clean the exposed surfaces of the 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
discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.
Burner ports must be kept clean. To remove burners:
1. Remove the top grates.
2. Remove the radiants.
3. Remove the burners.
Brush burner ports with a wire brush or clean ports with a sharp pointed metal instrument to ensure
open ports.
Reverse above procedure for reassembly.
