13GRILL USEGRILLING HINTSWhen grilling, the ventilation fan must be set on “HI” to remove smoke and odors. The fan can be turned to“LO” after cooking is complete to remove any leftover smoke.The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to arare doneness. A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time isaffected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size and shape of the cut and the kind ofmeat you are cooking. The degree of doneness desired also affects the time.When turning the meat over, always use a spatula or tongs as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juicesto run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat isrepeatedly turned. Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from curlingwhile they are being cooked, slit the fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals. To test for doneness, makea small cut in the center of the meat.The built-in griddle on your cooktop is made from Type 304stainless steel, highly polished to provide a smooth cookingsurface. It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook ontothe surface to provide a stick resistant base or “seasoning”.Since the griddle is made from stainless steel, the surface willnot rust. The griddle burner is thermostatically controlled andcycles on and off to maintain the set temperature. TheHEATING light indicates that the burner is “ON”. The READYlight indicates that the griddle is at the set temperature. Thegriddle assembly is not to be removed for cleaning and is heldin place by two front screws and one rear screw. These aremainly there to keep the griddle from shifting in transit, thusavoiding breakage of any ignition components. Once the unitis installed, the rear shipping screw can be removed. It islocated beneath the griddle flue cover which is removed bylifting off (be careful not to scratch your backguard duringremoval of the cover). Remove the center shipping screw. Thetwo outer screws are leveling screws (Fig. 13). They can beturned to level the griddle or to provide a forward slope tohelp grease and oils drain away from the food being cooked.After using the griddle a few times, you will be able to judgethe slope best for the foods you are cooking and your personalpreference.ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITERThe griddle burners are equipped with an electric glow igniterand safety valve system which lights the gas. There will be adelay of 30 to 90 seconds after the control knob has beenturned on to when you actually hear the burner come on. Theburner will ignite within 4 seconds after the gas reaches theburner.GRIDDLE USESHIPPING SCREW(REMOVE)OUTER LEVELINGSCREWS (2)GRIDDLE FLUECOVERFig. 13
