Tips
Do not leave grill unattended
while in use.
Be sure to preheat according to
cooking guide.
Occasionally rearrange foods on
the grill, to prevent sticking and
provide better browning.
Remove accumulated grease from
Grease Collector after each use, to
lessen smoking and odors. Grease
buildup can also become a fire
hazard.
. Trim fat from meats before
placing on grill. This will reduce
smoking and lessen grease buildup
in the collector pan. The trimmings
may be rubbed on the hot grates to
help prevent sticking.
Grates should be oiled or sprayed
with a nonstick vegetable oil before
cooking to prevent sticking.
Make sure Grease Collector,
Grill Pan and Grill Spatter Shield
are clean before using grill.
Season meats after cooking rather
than before—salt can draw out
juices and dry out meat. Use tongs
to turn and rearrange meats on the
grill; forks will pierce the meat and
release juices.
. When cooking foods of various
sizes and thicknesses, start larger
or thicker pieces first, add
quicker-
cooking small pieces later. Press
meat lightly to lie flat on grill: slash
the fat on edges of steaks and chops
to prevent curling; break the joints
of split chickens so they will lie flat.
Your interchangeable cooktop
modules can be used on either the
right or left side of the cooktop.
When inserting or removing a
module, take care not to force the
connection or exert undue pressure
which could damage the electrical
contacts. Additional modules can
be purchased from your dealer, to
double your grill/griddle capacity
or to add two more surface units.
. If your cooktop is being operated
on low power (voltage) foods may
be lighter brown than expected. A
longer preheating and grill time
may be necessary to achieve the
desired results.
Questiom and Answers
Q. I follow the cooking times
suggested, but my foods don’t get
done properly. Is there something
wrong with my grill?
A. Probably not. Suggested
cooking times should be used only
as a general guide. Variables in
food can change cooking times
required.
Q. How can I keep barbecued
meats from developing an
unattractive burned look
and taste?
A.
Sauces containing sugar will
often burn if used during the entire
cooking time. If your favorite sauce
contains sugar, try adding it only
during the last 15 to 20 minutes of
cooking time for best results.
Q. When cooking small loads
with only half the heating
elements, foods are not browning
as much as I like. What could
cause this?
A.
To get optimum cooking
performance with
small
loads, use
the rear heating element. Longer
preheating time may be required
to get the desired results.
