The grill module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a flame spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a drip tray. It is used to grill foods. Refer to the “Grill Chart” for cook times and settings.

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 even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be turned several times.

■To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the food. This will avoid loss of juices.

■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.

Before removing or replacing grill, make sure the control knobs are turned to OFF. Allow the grill to cool completely before handling.
