Initial Seasoning
It is important to season this grill to provide a nonstick surface on the cast iron plates.
1. Using a clean, lint free cloth, wipe vegetable oil or shortening onto the upper and lower grill plates.
2. Turn the grill ON and set the temperature to 100°F.
3. After the red indicator light turns off, allow the grill to season for an additional 30 - 45 minutes.
4. Turn the grill OFF and allow the grill to cool. Wipe off the excess oil using a clean, lint free cloth.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4, increasing the temperature by 100 F° each time, ending after the
400°F cycle.
The grill is now seasoned and ready for use.
