INSERTING THE GRILL MODULE

To insert the grill:

1.Be sure the controls are OFF.

2.Place the two reflector plates in the well as shown in the illustration below.

3.Grasp the grill element with both hands near the plug. Keeping the element as nearly horizontal as possible, push the plug firmly into the receptacle to

ensure complete contact (see illustration below).

The element should lie flat and rest on the ridges of the reflector plates.

4.Place the two grill grids into the opening in the cooktop over the grill element.

USING THE GRILL

The non-stick grill grids must be preconditioned before

using them for the first time. To precondition, wash them in soap and water and dry. Then use a paper towel to apply a small amount of cooking oil to the grids. Remove excess oil with a clean paper towel.

Use the grill for preparing meals with the appearance

and flavor of commercially char-broiled meats. The grill must be very hot for this type of cooking and smoke and spatter is to be expected. Be sure to use your vent- ing system when grilling to help minimize smoke.

The grill must be preheated to get the grill components hot enough to reflect the heat and to sear the meat to seal in the juices. Preheat the grill on HI for 5 to 10

minutes, then turn back to the recommended setting. See the grilling chart on page 15.

The grill element is divided so the front and rear sec- tions are controlled separately. You can heat both sec-

tions to the same temperature for cooking large

amounts of the same food, or you can vary thf

temperatures for cooking two different foods. Also you can save energy when cooking small amounts, b\ turning only one section on and leaving the other of entirely. Remember that the venting system is onl)

automatically turned on when you use the rear con trols. If you are using the front portion of the grill only turn the blower on with the switch on the control panel

When preparing meats for cooking, be sure to trim ex cess fat to avoid flame-up during grilling. If excess fa, drips onto the grill element, it may catch fire and burn i short time (flame-up). Some flame-ups can be expectec with high fat foods. Although this adds a smoky flavor

too much flame-up will cause excessive burning o charring.

A NEVER LEAVE THE KITCHEN while grilling meats or other juicy foods. Fats and juices drip on the hot grill element and may cause flame-ups. When grilling you should always be present to control flame-ups so they do not get out of hand.

If you have a bad flame-up and there is danger of the fire spreading, take the following steps immediately:

1.Turn the grill controls to OFF.

2.Turn the blower ON with the ON/OFF switch on thr control panel.

3.Use a long-handled utensil to remove the food fron the grill. Be careful not to get burned.

The fire should start to go out. If it does not, smothe the flames by covering the entire grill module. To dc this you can use a large cookie sheet, the lid from : large roasting pan, the griddle or the module cover Never use water on a grease fire.

Check the Safety Rules about grease fires on page 5.

A Never try to use charcoal or flavored wood chips in the well under the grill grids. Use of charcoal indoors without proper ventilation

produces carbon monoxide that can be fatal. Also, burning charcoal in the well will

permanently damage the porcelain coating in the well.

Never line the entire grill grid or the porcelain enamelec well with aluminum foil. Doing so may block drainage of grease, cause excessive smoking or fire or damage the unit.

Your new grill module is more versatile than you may realize. Whole-meal cooking can be done on the grill by cooking vegetables and warming bread or sandwiches

in heavy-duty aluminum foil or using a small aluminum pan covered with foil.

The recipes in this section will get you started grilling.

When you feel ready to experiment, there are several

good barbeque cookbooks available at your local bookstore full of recipes that can be easily adapted to your grill module.
