Rotate heating elements (5) up and remove the briquette basket (3) stored inside the grill housing (1). 2. Place the drip tray (2) in the bottom of the grill housing (1). (Drip tray is packaged in the large cardboard box that was on top of the appliance.) Align the embosses of the drip tray (2) with the depressions on the bottom of the grill housing (1). 3. Place the briquette basket (3) in the grill housing (1). 4. Arrange the ceramic briquettes (4) on the briquette basket (3), in a single layer. The ceramic briquettes should not contact the heating elements. Operating the grill 9 WARNING • To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate grill without the grates or griddle plate accessory installed. • NEVER leave grill unattended while cooking. • Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires. • DO NOT use wood chips, lava rocks, or charcoal briquettes. Only use recommended ceramic briquettes (PABRICKBKN). • DO NOT use dishes, pans, pots, or other cookware on the grill. • NEVER use aluminum foil to cover the grates or to line the grill. It can damage the grill and cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped under it. • Check drip tray before each use. Too much grease in the tray may cause a fire hazard. • If flames appear, grease should be cleaned from grates, drip tray, briquette basket and other surfaces. • Grease build up encourages flame and smoke development while cooking. • Ceramic briquettes must be replaced when they begin to turn black. This means that they are saturated with fat and may smoke heavily during operation or the fat may catch fire. 9 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. • 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 frequently as needed and as recommended by the Use and Care Guide, as well as surrounding surfaces. • Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and accessible. 5. Fold both grill heating elements (5) down. The grill heating elements must lie flat. Supports should rest inside of side notches. 6. Install the grill grates (6). Ensure grates are seated level inside the grill housing (1). The grates should be washed prior to use. 9 CAUTION Clean the grill after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. 1. Start overhead ventilation system 10 minutes prior to grilling to begin air movement. 2. For best results, allow the grill grates to preheat before placing food on them. Press and turn the knob to the desired temperature setting. 3. During the initial use, heat the grill for about 10 minutes to eliminate manufacturing residues and smells. 13
