Grilling Tips and Hints

Safe Grill Operation

• NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually
observing the food will help in maintaining an even
temperature, conserve flame, improve the food’s flavor
and lessen flare-ups.

• To open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning
in case of a grease fire flare-up.

• DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the
cooking area.

Food Preparation Hints

Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow
these instructions:

• Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining
fat to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.

• Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.

• Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.

• Salt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.

• Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.

• Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special

delicate-food cooking grate (see the section titled
“Cooking Methods”).

• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner
than the last 10 m inutes of cooking.

• Turn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food
(especially meat), tends to dry it out.

Care, Maintenance and Cleaning

CAUTION

All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when
the grill is cool.
