PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
Important: You must season the grill before cooking any food on your grill for the first time. The unit must be
operated at maximum temperature for 1 hour with the lid closed. This allows any oil residue from the manufacturing
process to burn off and also allows the high temperature paint to cure. Avoid placing any items on the unit during
this period as the paint could be permanently damaged.
