Grill Component

Clean the grill component after every use. Do not put the element into water. It cleans itself when heated during normal use. To remove any charred soil, clean with a dry, stiff brush when the element is cool. Never

use steel wool or metal scouring pads because they may damage the outer casing of the element.

Wash the grill grate in the sink in soap and water. The grate may be soaked in a solution of dishwasher detergent and hot water. Use a non-metal scouring pad if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaning products. The grill grate can also be cleaned in a self-cleaning oven.

Griddle Accessory

fie careful not to bum your fingers. When the griddle is cool, wash it in the sink in soap and water. Use a non-metal scouring pad if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not wash in the dishwasher or in any way immerse the electrical plug and box.

From time to time, you should recondition the grate with no-stick cooking spray. See the Grill Component section.

Wash the porcelain enamel drip pan in the sink with soap and water, or put it in the dishwasher. Soak stubborn stains, then rub gently with a scouring pad.

Do not put the drip pan in the oven during a self- cleaning cycle. Doing so will cause discoloration and damage the finish.

It is a good idea to store the griddle on one edge.

Porcelain Enamel Grease Well

Porcelain enamel can crack or chip with misuse. Itcan stain if spillovers of foods with a high acid content (such as tomatoes or lemon juice) are not cleaned up quickly.

Grease Jars

On the underside of the grill cooktop component, a

crease jar is mounted to catch fat and drippings. a

The lid of the jar is permanently mounted to the bottom of the cooktop component box. The lid is connected by a tube to a spout at the front of the grease well. The jar can be unscrewed from the lid to be emptied and cleaned or to be replaced. The jar is a standard 1-pint jar. Quart canning jars may also fit.

When cleaning a porcelain enamel grease well, be

careful not to get the electrical receptacles wet. Do not try to fill the well with water when cleaning. Be sure the drain hole and tube in the grease well are not clogged.

Do not use thin-walled glass or plastic jars, such as those having contained food products. Such jars could fracture.

Different foods give different amounts of fat and

drippings, so you should inspect the jar each time it is used. If the jar is not emptied or replaced often enough, the fat and drippings may overflow. Be sure the drain hole and tube in the grease well are not clogged.
