Removing the Grill Module

When removing the parts of the grill module to clean, be sure all switches are in the OFF position and the module is cool. Remove the grill grate and then slide the heating element toward the center of the cooktop until it is unplugged. Remove the reflector pan. Empty grease collector jar when cool. Be sure to replace the jar.

How to Set the Grill Controls

The control knob must be pushed in to turn; this prevents the heating element from being turned on accidentally. Push the knob in only when it is in the OFF position. When the knob is in any other position, it can be turned without pushing it in.

Front and rear sections of the grill heating element are controlled separately. Heat only half the grill surface for cooking small portions or set each half at a different temperature for cooking different types of foods.

Push in the control knob depending on which side of the cooktop grill module is used. The right front and right rear control knobs operate the grill when the module is on the right side (on some models). The left front and left rear control knobs operate the grill when the grill module is on the left side of the cooktop.

Automatic Blower Operation

The blower comes on automatically when the grill is turned on and turns off automatically when the grill is turned off.

What to Do If a Flame-Up Occurs

Grilling fat or juicy foods may cause flame-ups. You should never leave the kitchen while using the grill. It’s important to control flame-ups so they do not get out of hand.

TO CONTROL FLAME-UPS

Turn down the heat setting to LO rather than OFF. This keeps the downdraft vent blower on. Or, turn the vent to ON, then turn the grill OFF.

Using a long-handled utensil, carefully remove the food from the grill.

These steps should control the flame until it eventually goes out. If it does not, cover the entire grill module with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan. Use a pot holder to remove this later because it will be hot.

Never use water on a grease fire. Water will spread the flames.

NOTE: 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.
