GRILL OPERATION
To turn on the grill, make sure there is nothing on the grilling rack, push in and turn the control counter now clockwise to the HIGH
position. The power ON indicator light will glow indicating the grill valve is on. The grill is equipped with a ame-sensing ignition system –
that automatically detects the presence of ame on the grill burner – and relights it in the event it should go out. Adjust the ame to the
desired height.
After cooking, allow the module to cool completely and remove the drip tray slowly, discarding grease and other food particles. The
grill grate may be removed - exposing the radiants - which may be lifted out and placed in the dishwasher along with the drip tray for
cleaning. The grate is porcelain coated and may be washed with hot soapy water and a soft brush.
BEST COOKING RESULTS WHEN USING YOUR GRILL
The intense radiant heat from the grill vaporizes the surface of your food, locking in avor.
• Add any barbecue sauces during the last few minutes of cooking, long enough to caramelize the sauce.
• For best results, turn food with tongs or a at spatula to avoid piercing meat or poultry.
• Turn meat once when juices rise to the surface. Turning meat more than once results in the loss of meat juices.
• Never squeeze juices out of meat.
• Before cooking steaks or chops, trim most of the outside fat to prevent excessive are-ups. Slash into the edges of
steaks or chops to keep meat at on the grill.
• Fish should be cooked at the lowest setting eight to ten minutes for every inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part
of the sh.
