USING YOUR COOKTOP

SURFACE CONTROLS

Use to turn on the grill elements. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from lo to hi. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.

CONTROL LOCATIONS

1.

1. Left grill element

2. Right grill element

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Push down and turn the knob in either

direction to the desired heat setting.

2. A red indicator light will glow when-

ever a control is turned to a position other than OFF.

SUGGESTED HEAT SETTINGS

The amount and type of food being cooked, weather conditions, and voltage will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The setting indicated should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.

Hi: Preheat for all

foods, cook steaks and hot dogs.

10: Cook pork chops, fish and chicken. 7-9: Preheat and cook hamburgers. 2: Maintain serving temperatures of

foods.

Fan: Manual control of fan

GRILLING

GRILL INSTALLATION

The grill consists of two black grill grates, a grill element and two grill-rocks.

TO INSTALL GRILL COMPONENTS

1.Before installing grill components, be certain surface controls are OFF.

2.Lift grill element. Place the two grill-rocks

into an empty basin pan with their handles running parallel to the front of the cooktop. These grill-rocks must be used since they support the grill element.

3.Lower the grill element until it rests on the handles of the grill-rocks.

4.Place the black grill grates on the top of the cooktop.

TO REMOVE GRILL COMPONENTS

1.Remove grill components once they are cool. Be sure controls are OFF.

2.Remove grill grates.

3.Lift grill element and remove grill-rocks.

USING THE GRILL

• Before the first use, wash your new

grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Then “season” the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove excess oil by wiping with paper towel.

This procedure should be repeated when either: a) cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove seasoning or b) anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be used.

• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5-10

minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.

• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to

prevent damaging the nonstick grill grate finish.

• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Only a small

amount is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, “outdoor” flavor. Excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.

• Allowing excessive amounts of grease

or drippings to constantly flare-up voids the warranty on the grill grates.

• Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat was not properly trimmed.

• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.

• NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED

DURING GRILL OPERATION.

• SHOULD EXCESS GREASE CAUSE SUSTAINED FLARE-UPS:

1.Immediately turn grill control

switch to Fan position.

2. Remove meat from grill.

3

IMPORTANT

• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.

• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.

• Do not allow grill-rocks to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.

• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc. to allow proper ventilation as well as prevent flareups.

GRILLING TIPS

• Be sure to follow directions for using the grill.

• Suggested cooking times and control settings (see page 5) are approximate due to variations in the foods and electrical voltage. Times will also vary depending on location of the grill (enclosed or open area, cross ventilation).

• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least grill better than thinner cuts.

• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.

• For the attractive “branded” look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.

3

/4 inch thick will

• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts accumulate inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor.

Apply sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be “seasoned” prior to preheating. (See Using the Grill section.)

• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.

• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.

• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.

• For grilled foods that are prepared and ready before serving, turn control to a low setting and cover meat with a single sheet of foil. Food will continue to cook.

VENTILATION SYSTEM

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on your grill.

• To operate the ventilation system

manually, turn the control knob to the Fan setting.

• The ventilation system will operate

automatically when the grill element is in use.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM

• Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.

Wipe clean or wash in dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To prevent scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

• Filter: Turn off ventilation system before

removing. The filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and detergent or in dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should

always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom should rest against the right side of the vent chamber at the bottom. (Note: If filter

is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.)

• Ventilation Chamber: This area, which

houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. It can be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser.
