IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking

appliance.

WARNING!

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.

• Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher only if:

• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher

and you already know how to operate it.

• The fire is small and contained in the area where

it started.

• The fire department is being called.

• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires, with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, DO NOT reach through fire to turn it off.

NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any element, top burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the

range.

WARNING!

RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:

• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor, wall, or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied.

• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with these instructions.

• If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

WARNING!

The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.

WARNING!

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the

room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.

WARNING!

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or

warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of cookware may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's cooktop.

DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the range.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.

Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate.

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory. Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the cooktop.

Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

When using the oven do not touch the broiler element, the interior surfaces of the oven or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.

English 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders contact the broiler element.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks, temperature probe and any other utensils, and excess spillage.

Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food, so it is recommended that those potentially affected be removed from the kitchen area during the self-clean process.

DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts indicated in this booklet. DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or around the self-cleaning oven(s).

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

WARNING!

DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air

through the ventilation openings. The oven vent is located at the back of the appliance. The vents need to be unobstructed and open to provide necessary airflow that is important for proper oven performance.

DO NOT touch oven vent area while the appliance is on and for several minutes after the appliance is off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding areas become hot enough to cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time to cool before touching or cleaning vent areas.

DO NOT position plastic or other heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven heats to 300°F (149°C). If the fan does not operate, do not use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and filters.

In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

DO NOT use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flareups.

When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners, the grill, or the griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne fumes. Use caution to avoid burns.

Operation of the STAR Burners

1. Press in on the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the HI setting.

• The igniter for the selected burner sparks to ignite

the burner.

• After flame ignition, the igniter stops sparking.

2. Rotate the knob to any flame setting between HI and SIM.

• A blue light is positioned directly above each

burner control knob. The light turns on when the control knob is rotated to an active mode. It is off when the control knob is in the OFF position.

Range

ExtraLow® STAR

Burners

The controls for the two left and two right burners, front and rear, have flame settings even lower than the standard SIM settings.

Figure 9 shows that the control knob has an additional range between the SIM and XLO settings. When the knob is set within this range, the flame cycles off and on. By varying the length of time the flame is off and on, the heat is reduced even further to cook delicate foods. For example, these very low settings are suitable for simmering and poaching, melting chocolate and butter, holding cooked foods at temperatures without scorching or burning, etc.

ExtraLow

OFF

Range

• To maintain a low or simmer heat, bring food to a rolling boil. Stir well, then cover the pan and lower the heat to a setting just below SIM.

• Check periodically to see if the control knob should be turned to another setting.

• If an over-size pan is used, the simmer action may occur mainly in the center of the pan. To equalize the temperature throughout the food, stir the food around the outer edges of the pan into the food in the center.

• It is normal to stir food occasionally while simmering. This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as for a homemade spaghetti sauce or beans.

• When lowering the flame setting, adjust it in small steps.

• If the setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before re-setting to a higher heat.

• It is normal not to see simmer bubbles immediately after the food has been stirred.

• There may be bubbling when the flame cycles ON and no bubbles when the flame is OFF. Even when the flame is OFF, there will be steam and a slight quiver on the liquid’s surface.

Figure 9: ExtraLow STAR Burner Control Knob

Operation of the ExtraLow

Burner

• XLO, the very lowest setting, is achieved by cycling the flame ON for approximately 7 seconds and OFF for 53 seconds of each minute.

• When the knob is rotated just beyond the SIM setting, the flame will cycle ON for approximately 54 seconds and OFF for 6 seconds of each minute.

• To vary the amount of low heat, the control can be set anywhere within the SIM and XLO range marked on the knob.

ExtraLow

Techniques

• The type and quantity of food affects which setting to use.

• The pan selected affects the setting. Its size, type, material, and whether a lid is used, all affect the consistency of the cooking temperature.

POWERBOOST

The POWERBOOST, or XHI, is located at the right-front position of the rangetop. It offers the convenience to quickly boil water, sear steaks, stir-fry vegetables, etc. Use of the SIM and XLO remains the same as the other XLO knobs.

Burner Cap Placement

The burner caps must be properly placed on the STAR burner bases for the rangetop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur.

• Burner flames are too high.

• Flames shoot out of burners.

• Burners do not ignite.

• Burner flames light unevenly.

• Burner emits gas odor.

WARNING!

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps or grates while hot. Turn the rangetop off and allow the burners to cool.

Figure 10: STAR Burner Components

Each STAR® burner has its own electronic igniter that sparks when the burner is turned on. Each burner should light in 4 seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that the burner cap is positioned correctly on the

base (see Figure 11).

Figure 11: Correct Burner Cap Placement

CAUTION!

DO NOT touch the STAR burners when the igniters are

sparking. Ensure that the knobs are set to OFF and the burners and caps have cooled before touching.

Checking Burner Cap Placement

• Check each burner to make sure there is no gap between the burner cap and burner base. See Figure 11 and Figure 12 for examples of correct and incorrect placements of the burner cap.

• You may gently try to move the burner caps from side to side to check if the caps are properly placed on the burner bases. When properly placed, each burner cap will rest flat on top of its burner base, and completely cover the star-shape of the burner base when viewed

from the top as shown in Figure 11.

WARNING!

To prevent flare-ups and avoid the creation of harmful by-products, do not use the rangetop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

Figure 12: Incorrect Burner Cap Placement

Automatic Re-Ignition

If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter automatically activates to re-light the flame. DO NOT touch the STAR burners when the igniters are active.

IMPORTANT:

• For proper combustion, DO NOT use the cooktop

without the burner grates in place.

• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion and ignition. This is normal.

• On cooktops using propane (LP) gas, a slight “pop” sound may be heard from the STAR burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned off.

English 14

Power Failure

• In the event of a power failure, only the Standard

burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each one individually.

• If the rangetop is being used when the power failure occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.

• The standard STAR burners can be lit by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired level.

• DO NOT attempt to light the two left or two right XLO burners manually during a power failure. These burners are equipped with the ExtraLow cannot be lit manually.

• If an ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure occurs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is first turned to the OFF position.

• The griddle or grill accessory cannot be used during a power failure.

• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed on page 1.

Soft Blue Flames:

Normal for Natural Gas

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.

Some orange-colored streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and reevaluate before making adjustments.

WARNING!

In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the OFF position. Only the standard burners can be lit manually.

Flame Height

• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and

3) amount of liquid in the pan.

• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.

• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel or glass-ceramic.

Figure 13: Flame Characteristics

• The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow on the tips. It is common to see orange in the flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne impurities and will disappear with use

• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow tips on the cone are normal.

• The flame should burn completely around the burner cap. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned correctly on the base and that the ports are not blocked.

• The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or fluttering.

Cookware Recommendations

WARNING!

To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to appliance or cookware, please observe the following:

• Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on the rangetop.

• Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used on the rangetop.

• Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a hot burner grate. They may melt or catch fire.

• Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and the cooking surface.

• Professional quality pans with metal handles are recommended because plastic handles can melt or blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan. Professional quality pans are found at restaurant supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All cookware should have these characteristics: good heat conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.

• For best cooking results, the flame should be contained under the bottom of the pan.

• Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are sometimes attached to the base or in the core between stainless steel.

Figure 14: Base Diameter

• Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 5½” (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest recommended.

• Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

Figure 15: Balanced Pan

• Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without rocking or wobbling.

• Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt during cooking.

Figure 16: Flat Base Pan

• A heavy, flat base is more apt to remain flat when heated. Pan bases that are warped, dented, ridged or too lightweight will heat unevenly. Heat and cool pans gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes which tend to distort cookware. Do not add cold water to a hot pan.

• A properly fitting lid will shorten cooking time and make it possible to use lower heat settings.

Figure 17: Covered Pan

English 16

Specialty Cookware

Figure 18: Flat-bottom Wok Pan

Canning Tips:

• A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave, convex or rippled base.

• When using two canners at the same time, use staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A flame needs the right amount of air for complete combustion.

• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to a boil.

• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.

• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take precautions to prevent burns.

Suggestions for Using the Surface Burner Cooking Recommendations

Use the chart on page 18 through page 19 as a guide. The settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the starting temperature of the food.

Figure 19: Round-bottom Wok in Support Ring

Woks — Either flat based or round bottom woks with the

accessory ring can be used on all models. Round bottom woks must be used with a support ring. The Wok pan and the porcelain-coated cast iron wok support ring must be purchased separately (PWOKRINGHC).

Canners and Stock Pots — Select one with a base diameter that extends no more than 2” (51 mm) beyond the grate.

Standard Size Water Bath Canner — 21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11” to 12” base (279–305 mm) and a 9” to 11” depth (229–279 mm).

Standard Size Pressure Canner — 8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to

20.9 liters), with an 8” to 11” base (203–279 mm) and a 6½” to 12” depth (165–305 mm).

On the chart, the “Finish Setting” has been separated for the Standard and ExtraLow or may not be a change between the two burner settings.

The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding setting.

Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.

Description

The built-in griddle is made of restaurant-quality aluminum with a non-stick coating (PTFE/PFOA free). This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.

A maple chopping block (PA12CHPBLK), stainless steel cover (PA12CVRJ), and coated-aluminum grill plate (PAGRILHC) are available as accessories and are purchased separately. The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover are sized to fit on top of the surface when the griddle is not being used. The coated-aluminum grill plate accessory is designed to replace the griddle plate. See the instructions that come with the accessory for details.

The maple chopping block and stainless steel cover must be removed before turning the griddle on.

• The electric griddle element is rated 120 volts AC, 1,630 watts.

• The griddle is electronically controlled with temperatures marked on the knob from 150 – 500°F (66 – 260°C).

• There are no fixed settings on the knob.

• Press and turn the knob clockwise to the temperature setting.

Preparing the Griddle

If the range is equipped with an electric griddle, check the griddle frame adjustment by pouring two tablespoons of water on the back of the griddle plate. The water should slowly roll into the grease tray. If not, adjust the two screws under the back of the frame. Start with one half turn counterclockwise (CCW) of the screws. Further adjustment should be made by one-quarter turn until water slowly flows

into the grease tray (Figure 21).

CAUTION!

The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for griddle components to cool before cleaning.

WARNING!

To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate griddle without the griddle plate installed. NEVER use griddle in a manner that is not prescribed by the Use and Care Guide.

The griddle plate (or grill plate accessory) must always be in place when the griddle is turned on.

Using the Electric Grill

(available on some models)

Description

The built-in grill is made of restaurant-quality cast iron grates. This produces a surface with even heat that is easy to clean.

A non-stick, non-PTFE cast iron griddle plate (PAGRIDDLEN) is available as an accessory and may be purchased separately. See the instructions that come with the griddle plate accessory for more details.

Assembling the Grill

1. Rotate heating elements (6) up and remove the briquette basket (3) stored inside the grill housing (1).

2. Place the drip tray (2) in the bottom of the grill housing (1). (Drip tray is packaged in the large cardboard box that was on top of the range.) Align the embosses of the drip tray (2) with the depressions on the bottom of the grill housing (1).

3. Place the briquette basket (3) in the grill housing (1).

4. Arrange the ceramic briquettes (4) on the briquette basket (3), in a single layer, with each briquette touching the edges of the surrounding briquettes. The ceramic briquettes should not contact the heating elements.

5. Fold both grill heating elements (6) down. The grill heating elements must lie flat. Supports should rest inside of side notches.

6. Install the grill grates (5). Ensure grates are seated level inside the grill housing (1).

Grill Safety Tips

WARNING!

• To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate grill without

the grates or griddle plate accessory installed.

• NEVER leave grill unattended while cooking.

• Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires.

• DO NOT use wood chips, lava rocks, or charcoal briquettes. Only use recommended ceramic briquettes (PABRICKBKN).

• DO NOT use dishes, pans, pots, or other cookware on the grill.

• Never use aluminum foil to cover the grates or to line the grill. It can damage the grill and cause a fire hazard if heat is trapped under it.

• Check grease tray before each use. Too much grease in the tray may cause a fire hazard.

• If flames appear, grease should be cleaned from grates, grease tray, briquette basket and other surfaces.

• Grease build up encourages flame and smoke development while cooking.

• Ceramic briquettes must be replaced when they begin to turn black. This means that they are saturated with fat and may smoke heavily during operation or the fat may catch fire.

English 22

IMPORTANT:

• If flames appear while grilling, turn off heat and remove the food. Use caution to avoid any potential injury while removing food.

• Often, such flames will extinguish themselves within a few minutes once grease drippings have burned up. Do not leave the grill unattended until all flames are extinguished. If desired, flames can be extinguished by generously shaking baking soda or salt over them to smother fire.

• If flames appear, ceramic briquettes should be replaced and grease should be cleaned from grates, grease tray, briquette basket, and other surfaces before using the grill again. Built up grease which is allowed to remain encourages flame and smoke development while cooking.

• Moist food should be dried, before placing on grill.

• The moister the food is, the more smoke may be produced!

• During grilling, dripping fat may flare up briefly.

WARNING!

TO AVOID RISK OF BURNS:

• Use proper utensils with long handles that allow the chef plenty of clearance from the heat and potential flare ups.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing while cooking.

• Never leave grill unattended while cooking.

• After each use, remove grease buildup from the grill surfaces and the trays below the grill to avoid risk of fire. Ventilation hoods should also be cleaned periodically as needed and as recommended by the User Manual as well as surrounding surfaces.

• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and accessible.

Operation

3. During the initial use, heat the grill for about 10 minutes to eliminate manufacturing residues and smells.

4. For best results, allow the grill grates to preheat before placing food on them.

5. The electric grill indicator light will remain on for approximately 5 minutes after the knob has been

turned OFF to indicate residual heat.

CAUTION!

Clean the grill after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

Grilling Tips

• Always preheat the grill. When cooking on HIGH, preheat grill on HIGH for 10 minutes. When cooking on MED HIGH, preheat grill on HIGH for 5 minutes then turn temperature down once food is on the grill.

• Soak wooden skewers in water a minimum 20 minutes before placing on the grill.

• Prior to grilling, you can coat the food with heatresistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) or marinate it. Make sure not to use too much oil/marinade, as otherwise it may catch fire and generate thick smoke.

• Lay the food directly on the grill grates. DO NOT use aluminum foil or grill trays.

• Cured meat, such as ham or smoked pork chops, is not suitable for grilling. Unhealthy chemical compounds may form.

• To prevent flare-ups, remove excess fat from foods prior to grilling.

• DO NOT use cleaners on elements. Allow grease to burn off the elements.

• To soak up fat on the griddle plate, sprinkle coarse salt onto the grilling surface after use.

1. Before turning on, make sure that there are ceramic briquettes in the appliance and both grill grates are correctly fitted. Turn on forced air ventilation.

2. Press and turn the knob to the temperature setting.

• The grill is electronically controlled with power

settings LOW through HIGH. There are no fixed settings on the knobs.

• The two grill heating elements can be regulated

separately. This allows you to grill food with different temperature requirements at the same time, or you can use one area to grill and the other to keep warm.
