Using the Grill
• 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 after cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning.

• Preheat the grill on High for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
