•SHOULD EXCESS GREASE CAUSE SUSTAINED FLARE-UPS:

1.Turn on the fan manually.

2.Immediately turn grill controls to Off.

3.Remove meat from grill.

IMPORTANT

•Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.

•Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.

•Do not allow burner basin to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.

•Do not cover grates

completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc. to allow proper ventilation as well

as prevent flare- ups.

•When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts accumulate inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor.

Apply sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating. (See Using the Grill section.)

•There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.

•Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.

•Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.

VENTILATION SYSTEM

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM

•Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To prevent scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

•Filter: Turn off ventilation system before removing. The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and detergent or in dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom should rest against the right side of the vent

GRILLING TIPS

•Be sure to follow directions for using the grill.

•Suggested cooking times and control settings (see Grill guide, pg. 8) are approximate due to variations in the foods.

•For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4 inch will grill better than thinner cuts.

•Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.

•For the attractive “branded” look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop and grill.

chamber at the bottom. (Note: If filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.)

•Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. It can be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser.
