Even-Heat™ Grill (On Some Models) - KitchenAid KDRS407 Use And Care Manual

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a
surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition
and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover
and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the
"General Cleaning" section.
Gas opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas opening
for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas opening by
always using a burner cap.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap and burner head (15,000 and
5,000 Btu/h burners) from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.

The grill module consists of a cast-iron grate, a wave tray, a flame
spreader, a burner assembly, 2 grease trays and a drip tray. It is
used to grill foods. Refer to the "Grill Chart" for cook times and
settings.
When using the grill, follow the guidelines below.
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avoid curling.
Allow space between food on the grill. Crowding food will
result in uneven cooking.
Use a metal spatula or tongs to turn food.
Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only once
to avoid loss of juices.
For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should be
turned several times.
To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instant
read thermometer or make a small cut in the center of the
food. This will avoid loss of juices.
