1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films

 

 

 

 

have been removed from the grill.

 

 

 

 

2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this

 

 

 

 

grill for the first time by operating the grill for at

 

 

 

 

least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This
