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.
