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 qualied electrician install this appliance. The electrician
should be familiar with electrical installations and local electrical requirements. The external wiring
should be in conduit or an approved type of exible cable suitable for operation at 90° C and sized to
carry the load. Use copper wire only. 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 pigtail leads can be accessed by
removing the cover plate from the back of
the broiler.
4. Fill the water pan on the broiler prior
to use. Water should be ush with the
bottom of the splash ba󰀪es. Make sure
water is present in the pan at all times.
Note: The pan is easily removable for
cleaning.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN OPENING PAN TO PREVENT SPILLING.
5. The charbroiler is equipped with modular grates that are readily removable for cleaning.
Each heated section is controlled by a separate heat control switch.
6. Seasoning - Set the heat control switch to the low position and preheat for about 15 to 20
minutes. Using a cloth, spread a thin lm of cooking oil over the top of the grate surface.
Allow the lm to remain on the grate for about 5 minutes. Wipe the surface clean and apply
another lm of cooking oil. Wipe the surface clean again. The broiler is now ready for use.
The oil may tend to smoke - this is normal.
7. Approximate grilling temperatures range from 350° F (with no product on the grill) 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.
2. Remove the water pan and cooking grates. Wash them in a sink.
3. To clean heating element, rst remove the grates. Swing the element housing to a vertical
position and lock it in place with the support located in the center. Clean the elements with a
sti󰀨 wire brush or equivalent.
4. Heat ba󰀪es are located directly below the heating elements and are removable for cleaning in
a sink.
CAUTION
Water Pan / Drip Tray
Fill with water before operating
to prevent flare-ups and
catches grease.
