1. Seasoning
2. Preheating
3. Cleaning
Before using broiler for the first time, remove the rust preventive compound that
was applied at the factory on the grids by washing with hot water and soap, rinse
with clear water and wipe dry.
Locate clean grids properly on the broiler and preheat to 400 F, or medium
setting, spread a light film of unsalted cooking oil or fat over the cooking surface
with a cloth. Allow the broiler to stand this way for two minutes, wipe surface
clean, apply another film of light oil or fat and wipe off.
NOTE: Unless the product being cooked contains sufficient fat, such as bacon
or sausage, the grids must be greased before each cooking operation. Grids must
also be seasoned after each thorough cleaning.
To preheat the broiler, turn controls to maximum setting and allow to operate for 15
minutes or until signal light goes off, whichever is first. Set controls to desired
cooking temperature and proceed with broiling far to suggested cooking guide for
control setting and cooking time.
To use the accessory griddle on the broiler, following the preheating instructions above except
allow 15 additional minutes for the griddle to saturate with heat after the controls have been
reduced to griddling temperature.
It’s very important that all operating parts are kept clean for best cooking results and also for
long life of the equipment. Clean grids, drip pans and accessory griddle with hot water and
soap, rinse and wipe dry. Replace grid on broiler and re-season before storing when not used.
Clean the exterior of the broiler with hot water and soap, rinse with clear water, dry
and polish with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasives to prevent scratching of finish. If
abrasives are necessary to remove baked on food particles, rub in the direction of
the grain to avoid scratching.
