ELECTRONIC TEMP CONTROL OPERATION

Initial Start Up

Level unit using the adjustable feet under the unit (approximately
1/2" adjustment).

Before using the unit for the rst time, clean and heat for

approximately 45 minutes. The grill may emit a small amount of
smoke as the cooking surfaces reach 300-350°F. Do not be alarmed,
as the smoke is caused by oils associated with the manufacturing
process and will stop when the grill reaches 400°F. Best to do this
in a well ventilated area.

NOTE: It is best not to let food cook onto the grill, as food build-up
on the grill will increase sticking and smoking. In addition, carbon

may build up on the grill surface and reduce the cooking efciency.

Carbon Buildup: A black matter that forms on or near the cooking
surface. Generally this is a combination of: releasing agents, oils,
food particles etc. ,that have cooked to the surface. After a period
of time without cleaning, this will reduce performance and material

may start aking off. When that happens, follow the "Carbon
Cleaning" procedures.

Carbon Cleaning

for aluminum surfaces) according to the instructions provided with
the cleaner. When this process is complete, you must re-season
