CAUTION
Always allow sufficient time for the barbecue to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
Cleaning
What are the benefits of Flare-Free Technology™?
This system is designed to continuously capture and channel all grease drippings from food out to the front access grease
cup. From the angled, double grates with "U" shaped channels, the grease flows into the stainless steel front grease
channel, which immediately moves it to the front access grease cup.
The benefits of this efficient grease removal are numerous:
•
Even Cook Surface Temperatures – No hot and cold spots
•
Safer Barbecue – No unpredictable flare-up fires
•
Easier Control – No need to shuffle food on the cook surface
•
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Consistently Perfectly Cooked Food – No more under or overcooked meals
•
Enhanced Food Taste – No burnt, bitter charring from flare-ups
•
Healthier Cooking – Less char and smoke means fewer carcinogens in food
Care and maintenance of your Flare-Free Cooking System:
Regular maintenance of your Flare-Free Cooking System is necessary to avoid blockages in the cooking grates and
front grease channel, and to ensure that grease flows freely to the front grease cup as designed. Follow the Flare-Free
Technology™ care and maintenance instructions outlined below to maintain these benefits.
Seasoning cooking grates:
ATTENTION
Season grates before first use. Seasoning your porcelain cast iron cooking grates will improve cooking performance,
create a non-stick surface, prevent damage due to moisture and humidity, and extend the life of your cooking grates.
How to season your COLEMAN® Flare-Free, Porcelain Cast Iron Top Grate:
1. Wash cooking grates with soap and water. Do not submerge grates in water. Soap and water are used to break down
any buildup on the cook surface to prepare for seasoning.
2. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel. If cleaning on a very hot day, allow grates to dry in the sun.
3. Coat the entire cooking grate—top, bottom, sides, and each rod—with vegetable shortening. DO NOT use salted fats
such as margarine, butter, or non-stick cooking spray. Do not use olive oil as it burns off at high temperatures.
4. Place your porcelain cast iron grates in your barbecue at medium-low temperature for up to 20 minutes to complete
the seasoning process, or place them in your conventional oven on top of aluminum foil at 250°F-300°F for 20 minutes.
CRITICAL: Allow the cooking grates to cool down before handling and use. Repeat the seasoning steps several times
in a season or whenever the grates appear dry. Seasoning will permeate the grates' pores with oil and prevent water
penetration, which can cause early degradation.
ATTENTION
For best Flare-Free Technology™ results, ensure the barbecue is level.
