SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Your unit is equipped with a grounded, current-carrying 3 pronged plug which
will fit into any standard 3 pronged outlet. This is a safety feature. Electrical
connection must be a proper outlet for the 3 pronged cord. Before
connecting power, make sure the voltage and frequency correspond
to the data plate on the unit.
2. A short power cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
accidents such as tripping, entanglement, etc.
-If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
(A) The marketed electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
(B) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
3. Call BroilKing Customer Service at 860-738-2200 with any questions or
service needs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Avoid letting water or food drop or boil over onto heating element.
If liquids or other foreign material are allowed to drip down through
the element pan and into the housing, the warranty is voided.
2. Signal light, on models so equipped, will come on when range is plugged
into electric outlet.
3. This is a light duty range with a 5-1/2” diameter heating element. As with
all countertop ranges as well as stovetops, the most efficient cooking /
heating will be done when using pans that are closest in diameter to the
heating element. For best results, the pot or pan used should not exceed
the heating element diameter.
4. Be sure your Portable Buffet Range is resting level on countertop. Avoid
using pans that are unstable and easily tipped.
5. To avoid excessive heat on wall(s) while cooking, always keep a space
of at least 4” between your range and your rear and side walls.
6. To avoid harm to your countertop, place range on a wooden cutting board
or hot pad when in use.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Always unplug buffet range from electric outlet and allow to cool before
cleaning or maintenance. Caution: Heating element may be hot without
glowing red. Be sure element is cool before touching.
2. The element hookup configuration has been changed to improve the
longevity of the elements. The current configuration requires a different
procedure to remove the element, if necessary for cleaning. (You may also
clean the elements without removing them by gripping an element at the
point opposite where it goes into the holes in the drip pan and tilting it up.
Do not force it up higher than it will go easily.)
3. To remove an element (Tools needed: pliers and slotted screwdriver):
l
Be sure range is disconnected from electricity and the element is cool.
l
Locate the round push nut on the underside of the unit (directly below
the element you want to remove.) You may need to apply pressure to the
underside of the unit next to the push nut in order relieve the pressure that
holds it in place in order to get a grip on it with pliers.
l
While the pliers are gripping the push nut, use a screwdriver to loosen
and remove the screw in the center of the drip pan.
l
Pull the element up slightly. There are 2 pieces of rubber sleeve on the
wires attached to the element. Gently slide the rubber sleeves back and
remove the element by detaching the "quick-disconnect" terminal.
