MAINTENANCE, con’t.
2. Burners should be chcked and cleaned annually by a qualified gas service company. Valves
should be greased annually.
3. Be careful not to get the controls and valves wet. It will cause them to fail
4. If your unit is supplied with casters, there should be a restraint on the appliance to limit its
movement. If disconnection of the restraint becomes necessary, you must be sure to reconnect
the restraint after the appliance is returned to its originally installed position.
CLEANING
Your MBR should be cleaned each evening after use. Wash the stainless steel scrap gutter and
body with a brush and solution of mild grease dissolver with water. Rinse with water. Remove
and clean the drip tray; dry and replace into the unit. The safety controls and valves below the
unit should be kept dry during the washing process.
Do not use soaps on the cast iron cooking surface. Scrub the surface with a stainless steel sponge
and water, then heat the unit and re-season with cooking oil. The surface must remain oil-coated
to prevent rust and maintain the nonstick nature of the top.

CAST IRON MONGOLIAN COOK TOP CARE AND MAINTENANCE
These are suggested standard operating procedures to prepare your top for use and maintain it thereafter.
The cast iron top of a Mongolian range should be viewed as a large cast iron skillet. It must be washed
and seasoned when new. The seasoning must be maintained to keep the black shiny surface that acts as
a non-stick surface.
INITIAL SEASONING
When new, wash the top very thoroughly with warm soapy water. The top is coated with rust inhibiting
protective oil at time of manufacture. All traces of manufacturing oil must be removed prior to season-
ing. Follow these steps for initial seasoning:
Remove all traces of manufacturing oil using warm soapy water and brushes, cloths, and/or mildly
abrasive scrubbers such as stainless sponges.
After all traces of manufacturing oil have been removed, dry the top using clean wipes.
After the Mongolian pilots are lit, turn the gas valves to full ON position. Refer to the diagram earlier
in Operating Instructions.
The top will slowly begin to become hot. When a drop of water boils on the surface of the top, wipe
the top with a thin coat of oil1. Immediately wipe the top with a dry cloth to remove any excess oil.
Avoid oil build ups.
Wait an additional five to ten minutes to allow the top to continue to heat. The top will have started
to become darker. Apply another coat of oil and wipe dry as above.
Continue to apply oil and wipe dry in approximately five minute cycles. The top should gradually
darken and become black. When a black shiny surface has been achieved, the top is seasoned and
ready for use. Reduce heat or turn valves to OFF if finished.
