IMPORTANCE OF GRIDDLE SEASONING
It is very important to maintain a seasoned griddle surface
in order to maintain optimum performance and long life of
the unit. Seasoning your griddle serves two purposes:
a)It prevents rust and corrosion.
b)It creates a permanent non-stick cooking surface.
Seasoning is a process that continuously improves
throughout the life of your griddle. Proper care and
maintenance as well as seasoning after each use will result
in a better cooking experience.
FIRST TIME USE
Your griddle comes pre-seasoned with a coating of cooking
oil to prevent corrosion and damage during the shipping
process. Before using your griddle for the first time, wash
the top and insides of the griddle surface with hot, soapy
water. Never use soap on your griddle AFTER FIRST USE.
Rinse and dry completely then continue to seasoning steps.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Checking and cleaning burner/ venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
grill.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
"FLASH-BACK", it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must clean the
burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if
your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or
immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1.
The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing yellow.
2.
The grill does not reach temperature.
3.
The grill heats unevenly.
4.
The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following check
list before contacting your dealer for service. You may save
the cost of a service call.
PREHEATING: The grill lid should be in a closed position
during the preheat time period. It is necessary to preheat the
grill before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of
food and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a high
cooking temperature needs a pre-heat
period of five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking
temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes.
Seasoning Your Griddle
SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE
1.
Thoroughly clean off food residue.
2.
Evenly apply a generous amount of cooking oil (flax
seed, olive, vegetable, etc.) to the hot griddle surface.
3.
Using a paper towel, carefully spread cooking oil to
entire hot griddle surface.
4.
Allow griddle to cool completely before storing in a cool,
dry place.
AFTER EACH USE
To clean your griddle following each use, gently scrape any
remaining food residue with a spatula and wipe with a towel.
To remove stuck food, pour hot water onto griddle surface
to loosen residue or use ¼ cup of table salt to act as an
abrasive. Next, follow steps for "SEASONING YOUR
GRIDDLE".
COOKING TEMPERATURES
High setting-Use this setting for fast warm-up, for searing
steaks and chops, and grilling.
Low setting-Use this setting for all roasting, baking, and when
cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and
the amount of wind.
Cooking with in-direct Heat: You can cook poultry and large
cuts of meat slowly to perfection on one side of the grill by
indirect heat from the burner on the other side. Heat from the
lit burner circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking the
meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This
method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty
cuts, because there is no direct flame to light the fats and
juices that drip down during cooking.
CAUTION: If burners go out during operation, close gas
supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open lid and
wait five minutes before attempting to relight (this allows
accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at
source, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting
while your grill is in operation. As with all appliances, proper
care and maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your gas gill is no exception.
