Do not use any pots or pans when
using the grilll as these can cause
the appliance to overheat and may
permanently damage the ceramic
surface.

Wipe the cold grill clean with a
damp cloth before each use.

Select the desired setting and pre-
heat the grill for 4 - 6 minutes. 

For the best flavor when grilling
meat, make sure the setting is high
enough to sear the meat and lock in
the juices. If the setting is too low,
the cooked meat will be dry. 

Food which has been soaked in a
marinade containing oil can be
placed directly on the grill; otherwise
lightly oil or grease the cooking area.

Small amounts of wine, water, or
stock can be used to steam foods.
Cognac, spirits and fruit brandies
can also be used to flambé.

Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite. 

Dry wet foods with paper towels be-
fore cooking to minimize splattering. 

To prevent meat from drying out, salt
it after grilling.

Cut fish into bite-size pieces or fil-
lets,  and brush with lemon juice.

When possible, select thin cuts of
meat that can be grilled quickly.
When cooking thicker cuts, first sear
them at a high setting, then turn the
grill down so they can finish cooking
slowly.

Wash fruits and cut them into pieces
before cooking. Sprinkling them with
lemon juice will help prevent the
pieces from turning brown.

Vegetables can be cut into slices,
rings, cubes or sticks. The smaller
the pieces, the quicker they will
cook.  Whole vegetables can be par-
boiled to reduce the cooking time
and to help minimize starch deposits
on the grill surface.

Turn or stir food using a Teflon
coated or heat-resistant plastic spa-
tula.

Turn or stir food frequently to prevent
burning.
