IMPORTANT: • If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and remove the food. Use caution to avoid any potential injury while removing food. • Often, such flames will extinguish themselves within a few minutes once grease drippings have burned up. DO NOT leave the grill unattended until all flames are extinguished. If desired, flames can be extinguished by generously shaking baking soda or salt over them to smother the fire. • If flames appear, ceramic briquettes should be replaced and grease should be cleaned from grates, grease tray, briquette basket, and other surfaces before using the grill again. Built up grease which is allowed to remain encourages flame and smoke development while cooking. • Moist food should be dried, before placing on grill. • Marinated food may cause more smoke to be produced! • During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly. WARNING TO AVOID RISK OF BURNS: • Use proper utensils with long handles that allow the chef plenty of clearance from the heat and potential flare ups. • DO NOT wear loose clothing while cooking. • Never leave grill unattended while cooking. • After each use, remove grease buildup from the grill surfaces and the trays below the grill to avoid risk of fire. Ventilation hoods should also be cleaned periodically as needed and as recommended by the User Manual as well as surrounding surfaces. • Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and accessible. Operation 1. Before turning on, make sure that there are ceramic briquettes in the appliance and both grill grates are correctly fitted. Turn on ventilation hood. 2. Press and turn the knob to the desired temperature setting. • The grill is electronically controlled with power settings LOW through HIGH. There are no fixed settings on the knobs. • The two grill heating elements can be regulated separately. This allows you to grill food with different temperature requirements at the same time, or you can use one area to grill and the other to keep warm. 3. During the initial use, heat the grill for about 10 minutes to eliminate manufacturing residues and smells. 4. For best results, allow the grill grates to preheat before placing food on them. CAUTION Clean the grill after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. Grilling Tips • The grill should be preheated a minimum of 10 minutes before cooking. Depending on browning preference and the types of food being prepared, as much as 15 minutes of preheat time may be required. • Soak wooden skewers in water a minimum 20 minutes before placing on the grill. • Prior to grilling, you can coat the food with heatresistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) or marinate it. Make sure not to use too much oil/marinade, as otherwise it may catch fire and generate thick smoke. • Lay the food directly on the grill grates. DO NOT use aluminum foil or grill trays. • Cured meat, such as ham or smoked pork chops, is not suitable for grilling. Unhealthy chemical compounds may form. • To prevent flare-ups, remove excess fat from foods prior to grilling. • DO NOT use cleaners on the heating elements. Allow grease to burn off the heating elements. • To soak up fat on the grill plate, sprinkle coarse salt onto the grilling surface after use. Page. 26
