BroilKing pcr-1b Leaflet

Congratulations on your purchase of a BroilKing Professional Cast Iron Range.

BroilKing Professional Ranges duplicate the structural design, materials and

components of the equipment used in the finest restaurants and hotels. Professional

models warranted 

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical

appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.   READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces!  Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse base, cord or plug in

water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing

the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.  

Return the appliance to the BroilKing Factory Service Department (call 860-

738-2200 first) for examination, repair or adjustment. (Canadian customers

contact BroilKing for Canadian service locations.)

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. A fire may occur if this appliance is covered or touching flammable material

including curtains, walls, etc.,  when in operation. To avoid excessive heat on

12. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil

or other hot liquid.

13. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish

of your unit. Pieces can also break off the pad and touch electrical parts,

creating a shock hazard.

14. Exercise extreme caution when using containers constructed of ceramic

15. Do not cover the range with metal foils; this may cause overheating of the unit.

16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

NOTES: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce

the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised

in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical

rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical

rating of the appliance.  The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not

drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over accidentally.

l

 In use, all surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when handling the appliance,

to avoid the risk of getting burned.

l

 Keep the cords of this and other adjacent electric appliances away from the

range.

l

 Overheated fat or oil can ignite. Foods prepared with fats or oils are not to be

left on the range without supervision.

l

 Never immerse the appliance in water for cleaning purposes. Be sure that no

water or steam can infiltrate the underside.

l

 Always place the appliance on a heat-resistant surface.    (continued)

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

Our portable ranges are the solution for high-demand use. The high-grade, long-

life heating plates are equipped with an infinitely variable control.

The light will come on ONLY during heat cycle. It will cycle on and off with

temperature.

Heat the appliance without a pot for approximately 10 minutes at maximum setting

in order for the special coating to seal. Temporary smoking is normal during initial

use.

Use only pots and pans designed for electric ranges with the suitable diameter.

Uneven or too-small pot bottoms do not allow efficient heating and will result in

loss of energy.

   

l

 The PCR-1B & PCR-1S cast iron heating elements are 7-1/8” diameter.

   

l

 The PCR-2S cast iron heating elements are 7-3/8” diameter (large) and

      6” diameter (small.)

The heating element is equipped with a patented thermostatic system which gives

an infinitely variable temperature selection. Your heating element always heats

up with maximum power until it reaches the temperature you selected. Thereafter,

the thermostat adjusts itself to maintain the temperature; this is indicated by the

pilot lamp going on and off. After a short period of time, you will find the temperature

that is right for your application, and re-setting the temperature is generally not

necessary.
