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

in water or other liquid.

children.

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

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning 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.

for examination, repair or adjustment.

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

manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

13. Always plug cord into wall outlet before turning unit on with control knob.

To disconnect, turn control to "OFF", then remove plug from wall outlet.

touch electrical parts, creating a shock hazard.

15. 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 wall(s) while cooking, always keep a space of at

least 4 between your BroilKing range and your rear and side walls.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

IMPORTANT NOTES

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.

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.

When performing any cleaning or maintenance to this unit, be sure to

unplug from power outlet first, and allow to cool.

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. 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 BroilKing range and your rear and side

walls.
6. To avoid harm to your countertop, place range on a wood 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.

2. The element hookup configuration has been changed to improve the

longevity of the elements. The new 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):

Be sure range is disconnected from electricity and the element is cool.

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.

While the pliers are gripping the push nut, use a screwdriver to loosen

and remove the screw in the center of the drip pan.

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.

4) Clean the element and drip area.
