Note: The grill grate must be
preconditioned before using it
the first time. To precondition,
first wash it in soap and water
and dry. Then use a paper
towel to apply a small amount
of no-stick cooking spray to
the grate. Remove excess with
a clean paper towel.
Use the grill for preparing meals
with the appearance and flavor of
commercially char-broiled meats.
The grill must be very hot for this
type of cooking and smoke and
spatter is to be expected.
Be sure to use venting
system when to
minimize smoke. You should have
either a component downdraft vent
installed into the
system
or a high-capacity vent hood.
The grill must be preheated to get
the grill components hot enough to
sear the meat and seal in the juices.
Preheat the grill on HI for 10
minutes. See the Grill Cooking
Guide.
The grill element is divided so
the front and rear sections are
controlled separately. You can
heat both sections to the same
temperature for cooking large
amounts of the same food, or you
vary the temperatures on front
and rear for cooking two different
foods. Also, you can save energy
when cooking small amounts of
food by turning only one section
on and leaving the other off entirely.
NEVER LEAVE THE
KITCHEN while grilling
meats or other juicy foods.
Fats and juices drip on the
hot grill element and may
cause flame-ups. When
grilling, you should always be
present to control flame-ups
so they do not get out of hand.
