Char-Grill Cooking Tips (cont.)

•To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.

•Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to drops of fat falling on the flavor generator plates. It is normal to have some flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move food to another area until the flames subside.

•For ease of cleaning, leave the char-grill on for 10 minutes when finished grilling. This will help make cleanup easier once the char-grill has cooled down.

Char-Grill Disassembly for Cleaning

Follow these steps to disassemble the char-grill for cleaning. Make sure the char-grill is completely cool before attempting to disassemble for cleaning.

•Remove the char-grill grate.

•Remove the flavor generator plates.

•Remove the flavor generator frame.

•Remove the drip pan. Note that the drip pan is a two piece drip pan.

•Located beneath the burner is the drip tray. Under normal grilling circumstances, very little if any grease will accumulate in the drip tray. If any grease has accumulated in the drip tray, simply wipe down with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Char-Grill Clean Up & Care

• Char-grill grates:

o May be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Before cleaning the grill turn the fame down to a lower setting such as Med or Low. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently into a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the food particles.

oFor a thorough cleaning of the grill grate, use grill cleaner according to manufacturer’s directions and then soak 15-20 minutes in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™pad. Do not use a steel wool pad or abrasive cleaner, for risk of damaging the porcelain finish. Dry thoroughly.

•Flavor generator plates, drip pan and drip tray:

oScrape off all burned on debris. The flavor-generator plates and drip pan are dishwasher safe. If you choose to not wash these components in the dishwasher then simply soak for 15- 20 minutes in a hot water and mild detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™pad.

oThe drip tray cannot be removed but can be wiped down with a damp cloth or paper towel.
