REGULAR MAINTENANCE

To ensure optimal performance and safety, the following
components should be inspected and cleaned as required before
use of your infrared side burner.
COOKING GRIDS - HEAVY ROD STAINLESS
BROIL KING® Heavy Rod stainless grids provide maximum
durability and good heat retention and good grilling performance.
For optimum performance:
• Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids
using a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with
paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher.
Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating
•
grids with an organic cold pressed cooking oil with a high
smoke point, light the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30
minutes. Recommended cooking oils:
Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o
Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
o
Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
o
• Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality
stainless steel bristle brush (Item #'s 65225, 64014, 64034)
and lightly coat with a high smoke point cooking oil. This will
continue the seasoning process.
Avoid applying sugar based marinades or salt to meat before
•
grilling, apply sugar based marinades at end of grilling and salt
after grilling.
Use oil based marinades, avoid water based marinades.
•
Lightly coat food with cooking oil of your choice before grilling.
•
Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light
•
layer of oil. This helps prevent rust and deterioration and
improves the grids non-stick performance.
• If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a stainless
steel bristle brush and re-season.
• Keep infrared side burner cover closed when not in use.
During long periods of inactivity, grid should be seasoned, then
stored in a dry place. The grid may be wrapped in protective plastic
food wrap. After periods of storage, Burn-Off grid, wash, dry with
paper towel and re-season with a high smoke point cooking oil.
Warning:
If the infrared side burner is hot, use caution and oven mitts
while handling the stainless steel bristle brush.
Inspect the grid carefully after brushing to ensure there are
no broken bristles left on the grid.
GREASE PAN
The grease pan is located at the rear under the shelf. Clean
regularly.
GENERAL CLEANING
Perform a Burn-Off (see below).
When infrared side burner is cool, remove grid.
Clean the interior of the infrared side burner as necessary by
scraping the sides and bottom of the with the grid lifter and vacuum
residue.
Rust is a natural oxidation process and may appear on internal
stainless steel parts. Rust will not affect performance of your
infrared side burner.
BURN-OFF
Ignite the burner as per "Lighting" (page 4).
Operate infrared side burner on HIGH for 10 minutes maximum.
Turn the gas source off then turn control knob to OFF.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

The following components should be inspected and cleaned at
least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to
ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.

pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages. While the
burner is removed, clean the interior by scraping the sides and
bottom and vacuuming.
