Preparing The Grill - Thermador An American Icon PA12GRILHC Care And Use Manual

• The grill grate has sides and a rear food guard that are
designed to make foods easier to turn with a spatula.
• After the juices begin to bubble to the surface, turn the
meat only once. This helps keep the juices in the meat.
• Some pieces of meat and poultry cook faster than
others. Move those pieces to the cooler area of the grill
until the rest have finished.
• The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of
the cut. Chefs say it is impossible to cook to the rare
stage with a thin cut of meat.
• Add seasoning or salt after grilling.
CAUTION
• Do not leave the grill unattended while in
use.
• If children are allowed to use the grill, they
must be closely supervised.
About the Electric Grill
Description
The built-in grill is made of restaurant-quality aluminum that
is coated with titanium. This produces a surface with even
heat that is easy to clean. A maple chopping block and
stainless steel cover are available as accessories and are
purchased separately. Both are sized to fit on top of the
surface when the grill is not being used. The maple
chopping block and stainless steel cover must be
removed before turning the grill on.
The electric grill element is rated at 120 volts AC, 1600
watts.
CAUTION
The grill is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for
grill components to cool before cleaning.

Preparing the Grill

The grill must be tilted slightly forward for optimum
performance. See Installation Manual for procedure to
check and adjust the grill for proper tilt of the grill plate. The
grill plate should be washed with warm soapy water then
rinsed with clear water prior to use.
Before cooking, verify that the grill is properly assembled.
Any utensil may be used on the grill surface. Care should
be taken to avoid scratching or gouging the grill surface.
