Please note: To be sure your food is fully cooked the USDA recommends the
following guidelines. Using a meat thermometer, test for doneness by inserting
the meat thermometer into the center of the food being cooked and make sure the
thermometer is not touching the bone or grill plates.

GRILLING TIPS
• To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid frequently.
• Do not overfill grill.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes
before suggested time; if necessary adjust time.
• When cooking several pieces of food, try to have them similar in size and
thickness.
• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides cooking time will typically
be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before
cooking.
Important: Use only silicone, heatproof plastic, nylon or wood utensils when
cooking on the grill. Silicone utensils are especially good because they do not
discolor or melt with the high temperature.

the grill plates.

cleaners to clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing
pads.
7. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry
cloth.
Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.
