Instructions for First Time Use
In order to protect the plates of your new grill during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface
prior to shipment. This oil is harmless, but must be removed before you begin to use. To remove, preheat the grill until
the oil liquifies. Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth. Once all of the oil is removed you can
begin to use your grill
