Helpful Hints

The closed grilling area (see page 1, Fig. A) is ideal for grilling small foods, such as sliced mushrooms which may fall through the open-grate grilling area.

When grilling, the temperature of the grates may be increased or decreased by adjusting the Control Master® heat control.

Preheat Grill for 10 minutes for best results.

Before grilling, trim meat of excess fat to prevent smoking.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour before using to prevent burning.

Use plastic tongs or spatulas for turning meat, poultry, and fish. Forks can pierce meat, allowing flavorful juices to escape.

Marinate or rub lean meat, poultry, and fish with a small amount of vegetable oil to enhance flavors, retain moisture, and prevent sticking on the Grill.

Plastic, resealable bags work well for marinating. Place marinade ingredients, meat, fish, or poultry in bag, seal, mix well, and put in refrigerator for several hours or according to recipe instructions.

To speed the cooking time of larger cuts of meat or poultry, tent the Grill with a piece of aluminum foil.

Prevent the transfer of bacteria by using separate plates for raw and cooked meat, fish, and poultry.

Care and Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash Grill thoroughly in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master® heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

Food residue can be removed by scrubbing with a fine cleansing pad - nylon mesh or other ordinary cleansing pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.

IMPORTANT: To insure continued accuracy of the Control Master® heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
