Using the Grill
• Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and
dry. Then "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. This procedure should be
repeated after cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning.
• Seasoning prior to each use is NOT necessary. However anytime a sugar-based
marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should
be "seasoned" prior to reheating.
• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur® nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat grill on Hi setting for 5 or 10 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor
and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.
• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary
to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. However, excessive
fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned or
that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat was not properly trimmed.
• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for
a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
• NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
Should sustained flare-up occur:
1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. Immediately turn grill heat control knob to OFF position.
3. Remove meat from grill.
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 after each use.
• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc.
to allow proper ventilation aswell as prevent flare-ups.
