Page 24: Grill
Use & Care Manual Slide-In Cook Tops GRILL OPERATION To turn on the grill, make sure there is nothing on the grilling rack, push in and turn the control counter now clockwise to the HIGH position. The power ON indicator light will glow indicating the grill valve is on. The grill is equipped with a flame-sensing ignition system – that automatically detects the presence of flame on the grill burner – and relights it in the event it should go out. Adjust the flame to the desired height. After cooking, allow the module to cool completely and remove the drip tray slowly, discarding grease and other food particles. The grill grate may be removed - exposing the radiants - which may be lifted out and placed in the dishwasher along with the drip tray for cleaning.
