GRILL MODULE
(continued)
Grill Tips
• Do not leave the grill unattended
while in use.
• Be sure to preheat
according
to the cooking guide.
• Make sure the grease collector jar and the reflector
pan are clean and in place before using the grill.
• Remove grease from the grease collector
jar after
each use to avoid spillovers.
• The grates should be oiled or sprayed with a non-
stick coating
before cooking to prevent sticking.
Remove
the grate before spraying,
and spray only
while cool. Spraying
directly
onto a hot grill may
cause a fire.
• Trim fat from meats before placing on the grill.
This will reduce smoking
and lessen grease buildup
in the grease collector jar.
• When cooking foods of various
sizes and
thicknesses,
start larger or thicker pieces first, and
quicker-cooking,
smaller pieces later. Press meat
lightly to lie flat on the grill: slash the fat on the
edges of steaks and chops to prevent curling; break
the joints of split chickens
so they will lie flat.
• Allow space between foods when placing
them on
the grill. Air needs to circulate
around the food for
best cooking results.
• Occasionally
rearrange
foods on the grill, to prevent
sticking and provide
better browning.
• Season meats after cooking rather than before--
salt can draw out juices and dry out meat. Use tongs
to turn and rearrange
meats on the grill; forks will
pierce the meat and release juices.
• If your house has low voltage, foods may be lighter
brown than expected.
A longer preheating
and grill
time may be necessary
to achieve the desired results.
• The blower comes on automatically
when the grill
is turned on and turns off automatically
when the
grill is turned off.
Questions
and Answers
Q. I followed
the cooking
times suggested
in
the Grill Cooking
Guide but my foods were not
done properly.
Is there something
wrong with
my grill?
A. Probably
not. Suggested
cooking
times should be
used only as a general guide. Variables
in food can
change cooking times required.
Q. How can 1 keep barbecued
meats from
developing
an unattractive
burned
look
and taste?
A. Sauces containing
sugar will often burn if used
during the entire cooking
time. If your favorite
sauce contains
sugar, try adding it only during the
last 15 to 20 minutes
of cooking time for best
results.
Q. Foods cooked on my grill are not browning
as
much as 1 would
like. What could cause this?
A. A longer preheating
and grill time may be
necessary
to achieve
the desired results.
Q. Can my grill be switched
to the other side of
the cooktop
where it would
be more convenient
for me?
A. Your interchangeable
cooktop
modules
can be
used on either the right or the left side of the
cooktop (on some models).
When inserting
or
removing
a module,
take care not to force the
connection
or exert undue pressure
which could
damage the electrical
contacts.
Q. When cooking
many individual
foods, what can
I do to insure that foods will cook evenly?
A. When cooking foods of various sizes and
thicknesses,
start larger or thicker pieces first
and add quicker-cooking,
smaller
pieces later.
Press the meat lightly to lie fiat on the grill. Slash
the fat on the edges of steaks and chops to prevent
curling. Break the joints of split chickens
so they
will lie flat.
Q. My grilled meats sometimes
come out drier
than they should.
What can 1 do to help
prevent
this?
A. Season meats after cooking
rather than before--
salt can draw out juices and dry out meat. Use
tongs to turn and rearrange
meats on the grill;
forks will pierce the meat and release juices.
