Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, remove the grease pan, empty, and wash it. Clean the cooking grates by heating them to "HI" for about 45 minutes, then turn off the broiler and let it cool for 20 minutes. Use a wire brush to remove grease buildup from both top and bottom surfaces of the grates.

• Radiant Maintenance: Periodically remove the radiants and clean them with a wire brush. Ensure they are properly positioned on the front and rear supports, centered over the burners.

• Burner Care: Keep burner ports clean. If necessary, soak them in a strong solution of lye water for 15–20 minutes and then use a wire brush or sharp-pointed metal instrument to clear any blockages.

• Regulator Inspection: Clean the regulator monthly and ensure the vent opening is unobstructed to prevent pressure variations that could affect performance.

• Exterior Care: Clean the broiler's exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. For discoloration, scrub gently in the direction of the stainless steel grain.

• Extended Shutdown: During periods of inactivity, turn off the manual shut-off valve to isolate the appliance from the gas supply. This prevents potential gas leaks and conserves energy.
