least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to
ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.
BURNER

bottom and vacuuming.

Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids
using a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with
paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher.
Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating
grids with an organic cold pressed cooking oil with a high
smoke point, light the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30
minutes. Recommended cooking oils:
•
Avocado Oil
– smoke point (260C/500F)
Rice Bran Oil
– smoke point (255C/490F)
Canola Oil
– smoke point (204C/400F)

Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality
stainless steel bristle brush (Item #’s 65225, 64014, 64034)
and lightly coat with a high smoke point cooking oil. This will
continue the seasoning process.
Avoid applying sugar based marinades or salt to meat before
grilling, apply sugar based marinades at end of grilling and salt
after grilling.
Use oil based marinades, avoid water based marinades.
Lightly coat food with cooking oil of your choice before grilling.
Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light
layer of oil. This helps prevent rust and deterioration and
improves the grids non-stick performance.
If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a stainless
steel bristle brush and re-season.
Keep infrared side burner cover closed when not in use.
