Using Your Infrared Sear Burner; Outdoor Sear Burner Care; General Cleaning - KitchenAid KBEU121T Installation & Use Manual

Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the
meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer
surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as
grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a
crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is
trimmed away prior to grilling.
Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to
sear.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the sear burner is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft,
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the sear burner, as it will scratch
the surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use stainless steel sear
burner cover.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop
Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths or paper towels.
To avoid damage to the finish, cleaners should not contain
chlorine.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire sear burner is
cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
surface.
