A VENTILATING HOOD of adequate cubic-feet-per-minute
capacity vented to the outside of the house is
recommended for installation ABOVE THE COOKTOP/
RANGE. For most kitchens with a wall mounted hood, a
certified hood is recommended. The hood must be installed
according to installation instructions furnished with the
hood and local building code requirements. Refer to
ventilation requirements in the Installation Instructions for
additional information.
Do not use a microwave oven/ventilator combination above
the cooktop/range, as these types of units do not provide
the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the
cooktop/range.

The Grill

When cooking food on the grill you will achieve the same
flavor as meat cooked on an outdoor grill.
This flavor is actually created by the fats and juices that are
brought to the surface of the food and seared by the heat
from the grill plate.
The grill control knob is calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit.
To turn the burner on, press the control knob and rotate it
clockwise to the desired position. See the chart on page 2
for suggested settings.

Cooking on the Grill
• Preheat grill on the desired setting for 15 to 20 minutes
minimum. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the
juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
• Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the higher heat
settings for most of the cooking time. However, for
some foods, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a
lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the
food through without burning the outside.
• Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary
marinade many need a lower heat setting near the end
of the cooking time.
• When the grill has cooled, empty the grease into a
grease resistant container. Clean the grease tray and
grill plate with warm, soapy water and rinse with clear
water.
• The grease tray may be placed in the dishwasher for
cleaning.
Grilling Suggestions
• Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. Cut
slits in the remaining fat around the edges at 2"
(51 mm) intervals.
• Brush on basting sauce toward the end of cooking.
• Use a spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the
meat. A fork punctures the meat and lets the juices run
out. Be cautious when turning meat over.
