I Using the Grill
O
Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Then "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. This procedure should be
repeated when either: a) cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may
remove seasoning, or b) anytime a surgar-based marinade (for example, barbecue
sauce) is going to be used.
• Preheat the grillon Hi for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor, appearance
of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices. The heating element
should glow a bright cherry red.
• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur ® nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Only a normal amount
is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor.
Excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on the grill grates. Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior
needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat
was not properly trimmed.
• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a
second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
• NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
I Should excess grease cause sustained flare-up !
1. Turn on Fan manually.
2. Immediately turn grill control(s) OFF.
3. Remove meat from grill.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.
• Do not allow grill-rocks to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.
• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak,
etc. to allow proper ventilation as well as prevent flare-ups.
