COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-
in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply run the
temperature probe on high with the lid open for approximately ½ hour. When cooking very lean meats, such as
chicken breasts, or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high
degree of fat content, may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures to prevent this.
•Use only plastic or wooden utensils on the grill surface.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not place the grill in the dishwasher, it must be hand washed.
Ensure that the grill is turned off and allowed to cool prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with
hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. Do not
use oven cleaner to clean any part of this grill. Do not use a self cleaning oven to clean grill plate or any
other parts of the grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of
the grill components unless cleaned regularly.
Remove temperature control probe from grill plate. Do not immerse control probe into water. The grill is
immersible only after the temperature control probe and cord are removed. Clean the outer surface of
the temperature control probe with a damp cloth. Non abrasive cleaner may be used if necessary.
WARMING RACK - The warming rack is best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire brush. Steel
wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high
temperature of the cooking surface.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL - Remove the grill plate. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the
insides of the lid. Brush all debris from inside the grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the grill plate is
placed properly when reinstalled.
DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease
buildup. Grease and excess drippings accumulate in the drip pan located under the grill. Accumulated grease can
cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil, as it can prevent the proper amount of air needed for
burner to operate. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean stainless steel parts. To clean
stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the finish and leave small particles of ferrous metal which can promote rusting.
Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and
will not affect the performance of the grill.
