Using The Grill - Jenn-Air CU 23 SERIES Use And Care Manual

Using the Grill
• HIGH PERFORMANCE RANGE HOOD MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE GRILL ELEMENT.
• Before using the grill for the first time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse and
dry.
• Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying
with a non-stick coating such as Pare. This procedure should be repeated after
cleaning in a dishwasher since the detergent removes seasoning.
• For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats from stickingto grates until they are
seasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grill basin with a non-stick coating.
• Preheat grill on HI setting 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.
• A cooling fan can be heard whenever the grill element is turned on.
• Excessive amounts of fat shou/d be trimmed from meats. Only a normal amount is
necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. Exces-
sive fat can create cleaning and flame-up problems.
• A//owing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constant/y flame voids the
warranty on gri//grates. Excessive flame-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 DURING GRILL OPERATION.

1. Immediately turn grill heat control switch to OFF position.

IMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.
• Do not allow grill-rocks to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.
• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak,
etc. to allow proper ventilation as well as prevent flame-ups.
