Grill Operation

•Turn on kitchen ventilation product. •Turn grill control knob to HI. •Preheat on HI for 5 to 10 minutes. •Place food on grill, cook as desired.

Grill Cooking Tips

•When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick pieces of meat, sear on HI. Then, reduce the heat setting to prevent excessive flare-up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside.

•After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and turn it approximately 900 so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.

•Use a metal spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A spatula will not puncture the meat allowing juices to escape.

•Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops or hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.

•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 onto the flame spreader. 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.
