• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 minutes. Preheating improves theflavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat tohelp retain the juices.• For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill ispreheated.• Allow space between food on the grill.• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to avoid damaging thenonstick grill grate finish.• Excessive flare-ups indicate that the grill interior needs to becleaned, or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat, orthat the meat was not properly trimmed. Only a normalamount of fat is necessary to produce the smoke needed forthat smoked, "outdoor" flavor.• Excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings toconstantly flare-up voids the warranty on the grill grates.• If excess grease causes sustained flare-ups:• Turn on the fan manually.• Immediately turn grill controls to Off.• Remove meat from grill.• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmlesspuffs of flame for a second or two. This is a normal part of thecooking process.• Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least%" (1.9 cm) thick will grill better than thinner cuts.• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat onthe edges to avoid curling.• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, rememberthat excessive amounts accumulate inside the grill and do notimprove the food flavor. Anytime a sugar-based marinade (forexample barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the gratesshould be "seasoned" prior to preheating. See the "Grill Use"section.• There are many meat marinades that will help tenderize lessexpensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may needsome extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionallywhile grilling.• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Donot use forks as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to belost.• Steaks, chops and hamburgers should be turned only onceto avoid loss of juices.• For even cooking, foods such as chicken quarters should beturned several times.• To check for doneness of meats and poultry, use an instantread thermometer or make a small cut in the center of thefood. This will avoid loss of juices.• To avoid damage to the grill, do not use aluminum foil,charcoal or wood chips.• To avoid damage to cookware, do not place cookware on thegrill when in use.
