SECTION FOUR: USING THE COOKTOP

About the Gas Grill

DESCRIPTION

The built-in grill is made of restaurant-quality aluminum that is coated with titanium. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.

A maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are available as accessories and are purchased separately. Both are sized to fit on top of the surface when the grill is not being used.

The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turning the grill on.

CAUTION:

The grill is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for grill components to cool before cleaning.

PREPARING THE GRILL

The grill must be tilted slightly forward for optimum performance. See Installation Manual for procedure to check and adjust the grill for proper tilt of the grill plate. During installation, the installer is responsible for leveling the product. The grill plate should be washed with warm soapy water then rinsed with clear water prior to use.

Before cooking, verify that the grill is properly assembled. The food guard must be positioned at the back of the grill plate, as shown in the illustration.

Any utensil may be used on the grill surface.

Care should be taken that the surface is not gouged.
