Grill cooking guidelines
Important!
•
Never leave the grill unattended during use. Grease drippings may cause short flare-ups or even
•
sustained flaming. If left unattended, these may cause a fire.
•
Make sure you have your ventilation hood set on maximum during grilling.
•
Clean the radiant tray after frequently using. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.
•
The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will appear on food.
•
Trim excess fat off meat to minimize flare-ups.
•
Generally, start out on a high setting to sear or brown meat, then lower the setting to make sure
that meat or poultry is cooked through.
•
When turning meat over, use tongs or a spatula as these will not puncture the meat and allow the
juices to run out.
Using the griddle
The griddle is powered by an 18,000 BTU burner. The griddle will darken and 'season' with use, devel-
oping a natural non-stick coating. When it is properly seasoned, it can be used without any additional
oil.
1 Check that the grease drip-pan is properly in place.
Important!
Always keep the vents at the rear of the griddle frame clear of any object: airflow to the vents
must not be blocked.
2 If you haven't used the griddle for a long time, re-season it. See section 'First use' for instructions.
3 Turn the griddle knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature.
There may be a delay of a minute or so before the griddle comes on. This is normal. The indicator light
on bezel of the knob lights up when in use. See the 'Griddle cooking chart' below for suggestions.
4 After turning the griddle ON for about 15 minutes, it will be ready to use.
5 When you have finished using the griddle, turn its knob clockwise back to OFF.
6 Clean the griddle and grease drip-pan after every use. The griddle should be cleaned very
carefully while it is still hot. See 'Care and cleaning' for instructions.
Important!
Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.

Care and cleaning
DOs
•
Read these cleaning instructions and the
'Safety and warnings' section before you start
cleaning your range.
•
Before cleaning or removing any part, make
sure that everything on the range has been turned
off.
•
Unless suggested otherwise in the chart fol-
lowing, allow any part to cool to a safe temperature
before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm
or hot part (e.g. French Top, grill or griddle), take
extreme care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid
burns from steam or hot surfaces.
•
Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to
ensure it doesn't stain.
•
See the pages following this chart for instruc-
tions on removing and replacing different parts of
the range for cleaning or maintenance.
•
To help you identify any parts, see illustra-
tions in section 'Introduction' and after this cleaning
chart.
•
Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged if
you move the range for cleaning. Failure to do this
may result in the oven tipping, and adults and chil-
dren may be killed.

manufacturer's instructions.
Always rub the stainless steel

lines.
DON'Ts
•
Do not use aerosol cleaners until the
range has completely cooled. The propel-
lant in these cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
•
Do not let soiling or grease accumu-
late anywhere in or on the range. This will
make future cleaning more difficult and may
present a fire hazard.
•
Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or steel
wool. These will scratch your range and
damage its appearance.
•
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the range.
•
Do not perform any cleaning or main-
tenance on parts not specifically named in
the chart below. If in doubt, contact Custom-
er Care.
•
Do not lift the black grill and griddle
frames off the rangetop.
Important!
• Always read the label to make
sure your stainless steel cleaner
does not contain chlorine com-
pounds as these are corrosive
and may damage the appearance
of your range.
• Do not use and take care not to
spill any stainless steel cleaner
on the knobs, oven handles, or
the kickstrip grate. These are not
stainless steel parts and their
surface may be damaged by
stainless steel cleaner.
• When cleaning the back trim and
the top of the oven door, be care-
ful not to let any liquid run down
the vent holes.
