For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom. Determine if pan has a flat bottom.

1.Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat, gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler occur.

2.A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.

5.Place food on grill.

•Check that meats are done before removing them from grill. Meats often brown quickly on outside, but are not done in middle.

•If meat begins to cook too quickly on outside, reduce grill heat.

6.When finished cooking, turn control to OFF.

7.Clean grill pan and smoke control grill.

•Clean grill pan with soap and water.

•Clean smoke control grill in dishwasher or with soap and water.

•Always use nylon, hard rubber, or wooden kitchen tools on conventional nonstick finish.

•Do not clean griddle burner. Soil on burner burns off during subsequent use.
