Grill tips

•The grill must be preheated to get the grill components hot enough to sear the meat and seal in the juices. Preheat the grill for 10 minutes at HI heat setting, then turn to the desired setting for cooking.

•The grill element is divided so the front and rear sections are controlled separately.

•You can heat both sections to the same temperature for cooking large amounts of the same food, or you can vary the temperatures on front and rear for cooking two different foods. Also, you can save energy when cooking small amounts of food by turning only one section on and leaving the other off entirely.

•Do not leave grill unattended while it is in use.

•Remove accumulated grease from the non- removable grease well after each use to lessen smoking and odors. Be sure opening to grease tube is clean. Grease buildup can become a fire hazard.

•Make sure the removable grease collector jar and drip pan are clean and in place before using the grill.

•Remove grease from the grease collector jar after each use to avoid spillovers.

•The grates should be oiled or sprayed with a non-stick coating before cooking to prevent sticking. Remove the grate before spraying and spray only while cool. Spraying directly onto a hot grill may cause a fire.

•Trim the fat from meat before placing on the grill. This will reduce smoking and lessen grease buildup in the drip pan, grease well and grease jar.

•Allow space between foods when placing them on the grill. Air and heat need to circulate around the food for best cooking results.

•Occasionally rearrange foods on the grill to prevent sticking and provide better browning.

What to do if a flame- up occurs

To control flame-ups, set heat setting at LO, rather than off (O). If you have a bad flame-up and there is danger of the fire spreading, take the following steps immediately:

1.Turn the grill controls to off (O), and turn the downdraft vent control to HI.

If you are using an overhead updraft vent hood, turn it off until the flame-up stops.

2.Use a long-handled utensil to remove the food from the grill. Be careful not to get burned.

The fire should start to go out. If it does not, smother the flames by covering the entire grill with a large cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan.

CAUTION!

•NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. Water will spread the flames.

•Never line the grill grate or the porcelain enamel grease well with aluminum foil. Doing so may block drainage of grease, causing excessive smoking, fire or component damage.

•It is recommended that you have a dry chemical, foam or Halon type fire extinguisher where you can easily reach it in case of a cooking fire.

•Never try to use charcoal or flavored wood chips in the well under the grill grate. Use of charcoal indoors without proper ventilation produces carbon monoxide that can be fatal. Also, burning charcoal in the well will permanently damage the porcelain coating in the well.

•NEVER LEAVE THE KITCHEN while grilling meats or other juicy foods. Fats and juices drip on the hot grill element and may cause flame-ups. When grilling, you should always be present to control flame-ups so they do not get out of hand.
