iMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the
grill area.
• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in
the grill area.
• Do not allow burner basin to become
overloaded
with
grease. Clean fre-
quently.
• Do
not
cover
grates
completely with meat.
Leave air space be-
tween
each steak
etc.
to
allow
proper
ventila-
tion as well as
prevent
flare-
ups.
GRILLING
TIPS
•
Be sure to follow directions for using the
grill.
• Suggested cooking
times and control
settings
(see Grill guide, pg. 8) are ap-
proximate
due to variations
in the foods.
•
For best results, buy top grade meat.
Meat that is at least 3/4 inch will grill
better than thinner cuts.
Score fat on edges of steal<, 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 cool< 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.
• 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 bar-
becue 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.
[ VENTILAT[ON

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

• The ventilation system will operate au=

is in use.
° The fan can be used to remove strong
odors from the kitchen as when chop-
ping onions near the fan.
CARE
AND
CLEANING
OF
THE
VENTILATION
SYSTEM
• Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.
Wipe cleanor wash indishwasheror sink
with mild household detergents. To pre-
vent scratching the surface, do not use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
• Filter: Turn off ventilation system be-
fore removing. The filter is a permanent
type and should be cleaned when soiled.
Clean in sinkwith warm water and deter-
gent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OPERATE SYS-
TEM WITHOUT FILTER. F ilter should al-
ways be placed at an angle.As you face
the front of the cool<top, 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 cleanedin the
event of spills or whenever it becomes
coated with a film of grease. It can be
cleanedwith paper towel dampcloth, or
spongeand mild household detergent or
cleanser,
