ƽWARNING: Follow all safety instructions provided
with your barbecue. Do not drop cast iron grates,
they will break.
First Time Use - Wash thoroughly with a mild dishwashing
liquid to remove the wax coating used for protection in
shipping. Rinse with warm water and dry completely with a
soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY,
OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. You must season the
grates before first use to prevent rust and keep foods from
sticking.
Seasoning Cast Iron Grates - A SOLID vegetable
shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning.
Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening over
entire surface of the cast iron grates with a paper towel. Be
certain the entire surface, including all corners, has been
coated thoroughly. (Do not use salted fat such as
margarine or butter.)
Turn burners to M-O-M with lid closed (M = Medium, O =
Off, H = High, L = Low. Turn burners to M-M if you have a
two burner Silver A model). Preheat grill for 10 minutes.
Place cast iron grates back in grill. Allow grill to heat for 1
to 1 1/2 hours. Turn all burners to OFF. Leave grates in
barbecue until they are cool. Your cast iron grates are now
ready to use.
Maintenance - Brush debris off with a steel bristled wire
brush.
Reseasoning - After each use the grates may be
reseasoned by coating with a solid vegetable shortening,
closing the lid and leaving the cast iron grates in grill until it
is cool.
Tips - The cast iron grates will turn black with use. The
pores of the iron will be sealed, providing a durable coating
that helps to prevent foods from sticking. The grates will
further season with use. REGULAR APPLICATIONS OF
SOLID VEGETABLE SHORTENING WILL IMPROVE ITS
RESISTANCE TO RUST.
Rust, a metallic taste or discolored foods are signs of
improper or inadequate seasoning or may result from
cooking acidic foods If rust occurs you can remove the rust
with a steel brush. Then re-season the grates.
ƽCaution
To prevent rusting the cast iron cooking grates should be
re-seasoned frequently, particularly when new. Rusting is
not a manufacturers defect.
Since cast iron holds heat well, you will not need to use
extremely high cooking temperatures. Best results are
obtained with medium to medium-high heat. Do not
overheat.
As with all cast iron, the more the use, the easier the
maintenance.
Note: Prior to storing, grease very lightly with solid
vegetable shortening, then wipe dry with a paper
towel. Store in a dry place.
