Using the Grill

• The vent fan will turn on

automatically and operate
continuously while the grill
burner module is in use.

Before using the grill for the first time,

wash grill grate in hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry.

Precondition grate by brushing

with vegetable oil or spraying with
a non-stick coating such as Pam

®

.

Do this every time before you grill.

For easier clean-up, spray grate and

burner basin with a non-stick coating.

• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils

to prevent damaging the non-stick
grill grate finish.

Preheat the grill on high for

5 to 10 minutes. Preheating improves
the flavor and appearance of meats
and quickly sears the meat to help
retain the juices.

• Excessive amounts of fat should

be trimmed from meats. Some fat
is necessary to produce the smoke
needed for that smoked “outdoor”
flavor. However, excessive fat can
create cleaning and flare-up problems.

Allowing excessive amounts of

grease or drippings to constantly
flame voids the warranty on the grill
grate. Excessive flare-ups indicate
that either the grill interior needs to be
cleaned, excessive amounts of fat are
in the meat or that the meat was not
properly trimmed.

Grease drippings will occasionally

ignite to produce harmless puffs of
flame for a second or two. This is a
normal part of the cooking process.

Never leave the grill unattended during

operation.

IMPORTANT:

IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE,
THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT
OPERATE. DO NOT USE THE GRILL
MODULE OR GRIDDLE IF THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL.

Do not use aluminum foil inside

the grill area.

Do not use charcoal or wood chips

in the grill area.

Do not allow burner basin to become

overloaded with grease. Clean after
each use.

Do not cover grate completely with

meat. Leave air space between each
steak, etc., to allow proper ventilation
as well as to prevent flare-ups.

Do not use cooking pots, pans, skillets,

etc., on the grill grate.

Should a Sustained Flare-Up Occur:

1. Use the vent control to turn

the fan on.

2. Immediately turn the grill control

knobs to the OFF position.

3. Remove the meat from the grill.
