Install Grill
The grill assembly consists of two grill grates, grill element and a basin pan. It may be installed only on the left side of the cooktop.
When using the grill, follow the guidelines below.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
■Allow space between food on the grill. Crowding food will result in uneven cooking.
■Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
■Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once to avoid loss of juices.
■For best results, use top grade meat. Thicker meat will grill better than thinner cuts.
■When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts accumulate inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor.
■Use only nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to avoid damaging the nonstick grill grate finish.
■Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
■To avoid damage to the grill, do not use aluminum foil, charcoal or wood chips.
■To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on the grill when in use. Food should be cooked directly on the grill grate.
To Install Grill:
1.Be sure control knobs are in the “Off” position.
2.Place the basin pan into the empty basin.
3.Position the grill element with the terminal plug toward the terminal receptacle. The terminal receptacle is located at the front of the left side of the range. Slide the element toward the receptacle until the terminal plug is completely engaged and the supports rest on the sides of the basin.
4.Place the grill grates on top of the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Before using the grill for the first time, heat the grill burner to remove the shipping coating. Heat the grill burner on High for 10 minutes and use the vent system to remove any smoke.
To Remove Grill:
1.Be sure control knobs are in the “Off” position and grill components are cool.
2.To remove grill element, pull away from receptacle until it is unplugged.
IMPORTANT: Lifting the cartridge too high while still engaged in the receptacle could damage the terminal plug.
To Use:
Before first use, wash grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Season the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove excess oil by wiping with a paper towel. Repeat the seasoning process when grill grates are cleaned in the dishwasher or anytime a
1.Preheat grill on High for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.
2.Turn knob to desired cook setting. Place food on grill.
Downdraft Ventilation System
The
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate the downdraft ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
The downdraft ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill is in use.
For more information on proper filter placement and cleaning, see “Downdraft Ventilation System” in the “General Cleaning” section.
To Use:
The ventilation fan can be set to Low, High or Off.
Press VENT FAN once for Low, a second time for High, and a third time to turn the fan Off.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
■Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.
■On ceramic glass models, use only
