Grilling
hints
•When turning the meat over, always use a
spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to run out. This will help to
keep Ihe meat,juicy. Turn the meat only once,
as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly
turned. Season or salt the meat after it has
been cooked; these procedures have a
tendency to dlT the meat out.
•Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or
poulti T. To prevent sleaks or chops from
curling while lhey are being cooked, slit lhe
fat around lhe edges at about 2-inch intervals.
To lest for aloneness, make a small cut in the
center of the meat.
•The doneness of meat is affected by Ihe
thickness of Ihe cut. It is impossible to cook a
thin piece of meat to arare doneness. A steak
should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn
out rare and juicy. The cooking time is
affected by the lemperature of the meat when
you start I() cook it, the size and shape of Ihe
cut and the kind of meat you are cooking. The
degree of doneness desired also affects the
time.
•The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,
"Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it Io only 140°F. means some
food poisoning organisms may- survive."

(on somemodels)
The buih-in griddle is made from Type 304
stainless steel, highly polished to provide a
smoolh cooking surface. It is normal for it to
darken with use as oils cook omo Ihe SUlTace to
provide a stick-resistant base or "seasoning."
Since lhe griddle is made from stainless steel
the surface will not rust.
The griddle is thermostatically comrolled and
cycles on and off to maintain the set lemperamre.
The "HEATING" light indicates that the burner
is on.
The griddle assembly is not to be removed for
cleaning and is held in place by three rear screws.
These screws keep flae griddle from shifting in
transit, and are also used for positioning to avoid
breaking ignition components.
Once the unit is in position, the rear center
shipping screw can be removed. It is located
benealh lhe griddle flue cover. Remove the flue
cover by lifting it straight up. Be careful not Io
scratch the backguard during removal of the
flue cover.
The two outer screws are leveling screws. Do not
remove these two screws. They can be turned to
level flae griddle or Io provide a forward slope to
help grease and oils to drain away from Ihe food
being cooked. After using the griddle a few
times you will be able to judge the slope best for
the foods you are cooking and your personal
preference.
When replacing the griddle flue cover ensure
that the cover slips to the outside of lhe front
and back metal flanges of the fixed griddle
assembly-. This will ensure a tight fit of the flue
cover.
