Using the Grill
• The vent fan will operate
automatically when the grill
burner is in use.
• Before using the grill for the first
time, wash grill grates in hot soapy
water. Rinse and dry.
• Precondition grates 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 grates 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 grates.
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:
• 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 grates completely with
meat. Leave air space between each
steak, etc., to allow proper ventilation
as well as to prevent flare-ups.
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.
