when prepared outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
e Be sure to follow directions on page 9 for using the grill.
€ Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations in
meats and electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as wet1
as which settings work best.
® Use the Energy-Saver grill element for grilling small amounts of food on half of the
grill or for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing food requiring different contro_
settings.
o For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least si4 inch wiJJ griJJ better than
thinner cuts.
o Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.
o
For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grilJ is preheated. Allow one side
of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface, before
turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of
juices.

wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor° Apply sauces during the
_ast 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Ptus,
anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example barbecue sauce) is going to be used,
the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating. (See p. 9.)

meat for cooking on the grill,
