Before using for the first time

A small amount of smoke and smell may be emitted when the appliance is used for

the first time. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal

nor dangerous. Smells can be eliminated by starting the grill program and letting it
run for a few minutes. Smells and smoke should disappear as a result. Repeat the
procedure if this is not the case.
