• Always place water in drip pan to maximum water level line to help reduce
smoking and make clean up easier.
• Always use hot pads when handling grill as handles and grill become hot during
use.
• Begin grilling at recommended heat setting. Adjust heat setting if needed during
cooking.
• The heat control dial can be set at “LO”, “MED”, “HI” or in between for grilling or
at “WARM” for serving. Approximate temperatures of each setting are “WARM”
(180°F), “LO” (250°F), “MED” (325°F) and “HI” (375°F).
• Use solid end of grill to fry eggs, hash browns, grill pancakes, French toast,
sandwiches, vegetables or warm buns. Brush vegetables with olive oil or
vegetable oil for an attractive appearance.
• Tender cuts of meat are best for grilling; to tenderize less tender cuts of meat,
marinate before grilling.
• Fish and seafood may be basted with melted butter or a flavored butter during
grilling.
• For best results, use tongs to turn meats to avoid piercing the skin. Use a wide
spatula to turn fish, steaks, hamburgers, etc.
• If using a barbecue sauce, baste meat during the last 5 minutes of grilling.
