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 sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be
used.
Preheat the gdll on Hi for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and 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.
A/lowing 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 DUR|NG GRILL OPERATION.
