E2412 - Installation and Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
Preventative
Maintenance
Installation Wiring: All units are shipped wired for single phase current.
Ventilation: Do not install broiler closer than 5″to the back or 8″on the side walls. LEGS SHIPPED
WITH THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED WITH LEG CHANNELS. Minimum leg height, with no block-
age around the bottom of the broiler, must be maintained for proper ventilation.
FAILURE TO INSTALL OR REMOVAL OF THE LEGS IS A VIOLATION OF THE APPROVAL
SEALS AND VOIDS THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
- Remove the leg channels and knobs that are packed in the
broiler (located in the hopper front). The leg channels are two
long pieces of U-shaped steel designed to prevent warping of
the broiler frame when the broiler is moved by sliding on its legs.
See Figure 1
- Prop the broiler up and line up the holes in one of the leg
channels over the holes for the weld nuts on the front end of the
broiler.
- Screw two of the legs provided into the weld nuts to attach the
legs and hold the leg channel in place.
- Repeat procedure for the rear legs.
Figure 1 - Leg Placement
Turn the dial to “HI” and preheat for 20 minutes. Dial down to achieve desired cooking temperature.
______________________________________________
NOTE: Always clean the unit starting at the top and working down. Be sure that the grease hopper
and grease pan are in place before you proceed with any cleaning procedure in order to prevent any
scrapping or grease from dropping into the base and onto electrical wiring and terminal blocks.
- With normal use of the broiler, deposits build up on the top and bottom of the grate. In order to as-
sure safe operation, these deposits must be cleaned periodically during the day from both the top and
underside of the grill or grate casting.
a. To clear the top of the casting, scrape each groove with the tip of the scraper provided
until the surfaces are clear.
b. To clear the underside of the casting, insert the scraper head through the slots of the
grill and turn the scraper handle parallel to the grooves. Pulling upward, scrape
deposits from the grill underside. Repeat for each groove.
c. Empty grease pan periodically to avoid messy overflow.
______________________________________________
- When broiling is finished for the day clean as follows:
a. Clean deposits from the top and bottom of the grate as explained above.
b. Empty the hopper, clean and reinsert hopper.
c. Turn unit to “HI” and leave on for approximately 20 minutes. This will char the
remaining grease on the grill casting.
d. Turn off controls. When grill is cool, scrape the underside again and wire brush the
surface to complete cleaning of the grill.
e. Remove and clean the side splash guards and rear trough. Wash the front and rear
wells and wipe along the sides.
f. Wipe the casting with a dry clean cloth -do not use water or detergent on the castings.
g. Empty and clean the grease pan.

EmberGlo cooking capacities for electric char broilers were
determined in compliance to UL performance standards.
Hamburgers are to be 30% lean, 4″diameter x ½″thick. Only 2
patties are cooked per square foot of grill surface. Burgers are
cooked at maximum temperature.
Production Capacity: E2412 = 60/hr.
E2424 = 120/hr.
E2436 = 180/hr.
1) The temperature at the grill surface, as in all cooking
processes, is most important to the quality of food it produces.
All units will reach proper broiling temperature with a switch
setting of 5 to 5 1/2. This setting will yield between 500° and
550°. The unit will reach broiling temperature in approximately
20 minutes. Any attempt to broil for long periods of time with the
controls above 6 may cause meat to burn. Higher temperatures
allow for rapid cooking times and marked surfaces that some
customers prefer, while low temperatures are for thick cuts of
meat that must cook longer without surface excessive charring.
Extreme grill temperatures should be avoided.
2) Keeping your grates clean after every broil is important. Old
food isn’t seasoning - it’s crud. A clean grate is less likely to be
sticky and will last longer.
Helpful Hints for the best performance on your Electric EmberGlo Char-Broiler:
Refer to the Electric Char Broiler Cooking Guide brochure - 8474 75E - for more helpful suggestions
3) At the end of the day turn unit to “HI” and leave on for ap-
proximately 20 minutes. This will char the remaining grease on
the grill casting. Turn off controls. When grill is cool, scrape the
underside again and wire brush the surface to complete clean-
ing of the grill.
4) Always clean the unit starting at the top and working down.
Be sure that the grease hopper and grease pan are in place
before you proceed with any cleaning procedure in order to
prevent any scrapping or grease from dropping into the base
and onto electrical wiring and terminal blocks. Empty grease
pan periodically to avoid messy overflow.
5) Wipe the casting with a dry clean cloth -- do not use water
or detergent on the castings.
