Grilling Tips
• If grilling meats with a high fat content, such as hamburger,
do not leave the grill unattended. Small flare-ups or smoke
may occur from dripping fat or pieces of meat falling onto
the element.
• To reduce the possibility of smoke, trim all visible fat from
meats. Also, avoid marinades that have a high oil content.
• You may grill fish steaks, but not fish fillets. The fillets tend to
break apart.
• Do not grill breaded products.
