Using Your Cooktop Contmued

In case of a prolonged power failure: Surface burners can be manually lighted. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn the control to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the control to the desired setting. NOTE: Grill/griddle burners should not be manually lighted during a prolonged power failure. Since the vent system will not operate, smoke and steam will not be vented out of the room.

Using the grill
Before you use the grill for the first time: Wash with warm, soapy water; rinse and dry. Never use a metal scrubbing pad or abrasive cleanser on the grill; these will damage the nonstick surface. After cleaning, lightly wipe cooking surface with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking. Cooking tips Do not cover the entire cooking surface with meat. Leave space between the food items to allow smoke and steam to ventilate properly. Meat with a normally high fat content will produce more smoke and flare-ups, but cook faster than lean meat. Trim fat from meat before placing on the grill to prevent excessive smoke or flare-ups. If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the grill control knob to a lower setting. Do not leave grill unattended. NOTE: The use of metal utensils can scratch the non-stick coating. Only nylon or plastic utensils should be used. When using nylon or plastic utensils, do not leave them on the grill. They may melt.

Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can burn you and cause poor cooking results. . Be sure all control knobs are turned to off when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON. l If the flame should go out while cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear, before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 3. Failure to follow these precautions could result in explosion or fire.

Fire and Burn Hazard If grease causes excessive flare-ups DO NOT PUT WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. To put out fire: -Remove food from the grill, turn the grill control to OFF and cover the grill with a large metal pan. - Make sure the vent system has been switched to ON. Do not light the grill/griddle burners during a power failure. The vent system will not work if there is a power failure. This prevents proper venting for adequate cooling of the grill/griddle burners. The resulting heat build-up can cause fire. Do not use pots or pans on grill. They will become very hot and can burn you.
