Using the Grill

• Before using thegdll for thefirst time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse

and dry.

•Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetableoil or spraying

with anonstick coating such as Pare. This procedureshould berepeated after

cleaning in a dishwashersince the detergent removes seasoning.

•For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats fromsticking to grates until

they are seasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grillbasin 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 thejuices. The

heatingelement 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 createcleaning and flame-up problems.

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

warranty on gri//grates. Excessiveflame-ups indicatethat either the grill interior

needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the

meatwas notproperlytrimmed.

•Grease drippings will occasionally igniteto produce harmless puffs of flamefor

a second or two.This is a normal part of the cooking process.

•NEVERLEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
