888 Digital S161, S156, S136 manual Using the Grill

Using the Grill

•Before using the gdll for the first time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse and dry.

•Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying with a nonstick coating such as Pare. This procedure should be repeated after cleaning in a dishwasher since the detergent removes seasoning.

•For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats from sticking to grates until they are seasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grill basin with a nonstick coating.

•Preheat grill on HI setting for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices. The heating element should glow a bright cherry red.

•Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Only a normal amount is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. Excessivefat can create cleaning and flame-up problems.

•Allowing excessive amounts of grease or,drippings to constantly flame voids the

warranty on gri//grates. Excessive flame-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or 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 GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
