USAGE AND OPERATION

It is strongly recommended to pre burn your grill prior to your first use. By lighting a
SMALL charcoal fire to simulate the cooking process, you will burn off any residues or
oils created during the manufacturing process. This will also cure and harden the high
temperature finish. This is a once only process.

wear insulated mitts when the unit is hot.
