GRILL OPERATION
(GR Models Only)
Make sure there is nothing on the grilling rack prior to igniting the
grill. Push the knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH
position. The power ON indicator light will glow indicating the
grill valve is on. The grill is equipped with a flame-sensing ignition
system – that automatically detects the presence of flame on the
grill burner – and relights it in the event it goes out. Adjust the
flame 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 flavor.
»
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 flat 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 flare-ups. Slash into the edges of
steaks or chops to keep meat flat 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 fish.

GRIDDLE OPERATION
(GD Models Only)
The built-in griddle is made of polished steel to provide a smooth
cooking surface. A griddle drip pan is included.
Always preheat the griddle on the low setting, at least ten minutes
before cooking. The griddle burner is equipped with a hot surface
igniter and gas safety valve system.
To Start Cooking:
»
Push knob in and turn the knob clockwise to the MAX
position. Preheat griddle for two to three minutes and turn
knob to a medium or low cook setting.
»
The blue indicator light comes on and stays on until the
desired setting is reached and then turns off and on with
the heating cycle.
»
For best results, add a small amount of butter, oil, or a
cooking spray to the griddle surface. Fatty meats like bacon
and sausage do not need extra fat.
The temperature settings
are meant as a guide.
You may need to adjust
the settings according
to your peronal cooking
preferences.
