CHARBROILING TIPS
• Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using
the charbroiler.
• If the knob is not set fully at HIGH, the burner may turn
blue and the automatic igniter will begin sparking. Turn
the knob back to HIGH.
• Always select lean meat or trim fat before grilling.
Flaming may occur when grilling meat and poultry with
excessive fat.
• To minimize flare-ups when grilling chicken breasts and
thighs, remove the skin. Brush pieces with peanut or
vegetable oil to reduce sticking to the grate.
• If flare-ups occur, quickly move the food to another
place on the grate with long tongs.
• Apply basting sauce halfway through cooking time.
• Use a minute timer as a reminder to turn the food over
halfway through cooking time.
• Leave the charbroiler on for approximately 10 minutes
after grilling is complete. This allows for easier cleaning
after the charbroiler has cooled sufficiently.
• The suggested grilling times in the charbroiler grilling
guide on the following page are approximate. Actual
times depend on the quantity, thickness and starting
temperature of the food.

CHARBROILER OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover must be
removed prior to operation of the charbroiler.
• Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH
setting. You will hear the clicking sound of the igniter
lighting the burner.
• Preheat charbroiler for about 10 minutes before adding
the food. The ceramic tiles will have an orange-red
glow.
• To turn the charbroiler off, turn the control knob clock-
wise to the OFF position.
To prevent flare-ups, never leave the charbroiler unat-
tended during use.
