Char-Grill Cooking Tips (cont.)

• To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat,

not the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.

• Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to

drops of fat falling on the flavor generator plates. It is normal to have
some flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move
food to another area until the flames subside.

• For ease of cleaning, leave the char-grill on for 10 minutes when

finished grilling. This will help make cleanup easier once the char-grill
has cooled down.

Char-Grill Disassembly for Cleaning

Follow these steps to disassemble the char-grill for cleaning. Make sure
the char-grill is completely cool before attempting to disassemble for
cleaning.

• Remove the char-grill grate.
• Remove the flavor-generator plates.
• Remove the drip pan. Note that the drip pan is a two-piece drip pan.
• Located beneath the burner is the drip tray. Under normal grilling

circumstances very little if any grease will accumulate in the drip tray.
If any grease has accumulated in the drip tray, simply wipe out with a
paper towel or damp cloth.

Char-Grill Clean Up & Care

• Char-grill grates:

o May be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before

turning off the flame. Before cleaning the grill, turn the flame
down to a lower setting such as “MED” or “LOW”. Use a soft
bristle brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently into
a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot
grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the
food particles.

o For a thorough cleaning of the grill grate, use grill cleaner

according to manufacturer’s directions and then soak 15-20
minutes in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking,
scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite

™

pad. DO NOT use a steel wool

pad or abrasive cleaner, for risk of damaging the porcelain finish.
Dry thoroughly.

• Flavor generator plates and drip pan:

o Scrape off all burned on debris. The flavor generator plates and

drip pan are dishwasher safe. If you choose to not wash these
components in the dishwasher, then simply soak for 15-20 minutes
in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub
with a blue Scotch-Brite

™

pad.
