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.
