Initial Operation, Cleaning and Maintenance

INITIAL OPERATION

Initial Pilot Light

WARNING Keep appliances free and clear from combustibles at all times. When lighting pilots and checking for burner performance, do not keep your face close to the burners. The burner may light with a “pop” and could flash back and cause facial burns.

Before lighting any pilots, make sure that the burner valves and thermostats are turned “OFF”.

Initial pilot light is in the following sequence:

1.Turn the manual shut-off valve on the incoming service line “OFF”.

2.Turn all burner valves “OFF”.

3.Close all pilot adjusting screws (clockwise turn all the way in).

4.Wait for any accumulated gas to disperse.

5.Open the manual shut-off valve.

6.Apply a lighted match or taper to a pilot burner and open that pilot’s adjustment screw gradually until the pilot lights.

7.Adjust the pilot flame for the desired characteristics.

8.Turn “ON” that main burner and watch to make sure it lights from the pilot, then turn the burner “OFF”.

9.Repeat steps 6 through 8 to light all remaining pilots.

If only one pilot has gone out, it is not necessary to follow the entire procedure outlined above. Merely apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot until it lights, then adjust the pilot valve. If the pilot will not light, close the adjustment valve completely, do not use that burner, and call for service.

NOTE: It may be necessary to re-light the pilots several times until the new lines are purged of any trapped air and constant gas flow is attained.

Final Preparation

New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, bacteria, remaining from the manufacturing process.

They should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any installation dust or debris before being used for food preparation. The top grates should be removed and washed before use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING If gas odors are detected, the gas supply must be turned “OFF’ at the main shut-off valve and the local gas company or authorized service agency contacted for service.

General Cleaning

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your U.S. Range “Regal” Char-Broiler must be kept clean during the working day and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day.

Daily

1.Remove the broiler grates. Wire brush them clean or any encrusted materials and wash in hot, soapy water. A common cleaning practice is to turn grates up side-down to burn off encrusted material. Do not do this with the “Regal”Char-Broiler! The flame from the burner is shielded by a cast iron radiant with the result that heat not flame reaches the grate. It is likely that cooked-on matter will cook in even deeper rather than burn off.

2.Remove the radiants and wire brush them clean, then wash in hot soapy water. A rule of thumb is that if the grates are becoming encrusted, so are the radiants.
