anormal part of the cooking process.
IMPORTANT
●Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
●Do not use charcoti or wood chips in the
grill area.
●Do not cover grates completely with meat.
Leave air space between each steak, etc. to allow
proper ventilationas well as to prevent flare-ups.
●Do not allow the grill-rocks to become
overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.
GrillingTips
The following suggestions are good rules to follow
and will increase your enjoyment of the equipment. Be
sureto followdirectionsin thisguidefor usingthe grill.
Suggested cooking times and control settings are
approximate due to variations in meats and electrical
voltage. Additionally,times will also vary depending
on the location of the grill (enclosed versus open area;
cross ventilation). Experience will quickly indicate
cooking times as well as which settings work best.
For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at
least 3/4 inch will grill better than thinner cuts.
For the attractive“branded’ look on steaks, be sure the
grillis preheated.Allow one sideof the meat to cook to
the desired doneness, or until thejuices appear on the
top surface,before turning.Turn steaksand hamburgers
just once.Movingthe food aroundcausesloss ofjuices.
To help retain meatjuices, salt after turning meat or
after cooking is completed.
Should grilled foods be prepared and ready before
you’re ready to serve, turn controls to alow setting
and cover food with asingle sheet of foil. Food will
continue to cook.
Men basting meats or applying sauces to foods,
remember that excessive amounts wind up inside your
grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces
during the last 15to 20 minutes of cooking time unless
the recipe specifies otherwise. Sugar-based marinade
(for example, barbecue sauce) will caramelize on grill
grates and grill-rocks and will create acleaning chore.
Themaremanymeatmarinadeswhichwillhelptenderim
less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.
Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may
need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter
occasionally while grilling.
Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning
meats. Do not use forks as these pierce the meat,
allowingjuices to be lost.
Score the fat on the edges of steaks but do not cut into
the meat to prevent curling while cooking.
WhatToDo If aFlare-UpWillNotStop
1.Immediately turn the control switch to the fan position.
2. Remove the meat from the grill. (continuednextpage)

QuestiomandAnswers
Q.Ifollowedthecookingtimessuggestedinthe
grillingguidebutmyfoodswerenotdone
properly.ktheresomethingwrongwithmy@?
A.Probably not. Suggested cooking times should
be used only as ageneral guide. Variables in food
and location of the grill can change cooking times
required.
Q.HowcanIkeepbarbecuedmeatsfrom
developinganunattractiveburnedlook
andtiste?
A. Sauces containing sugar will often burn if used
during the entire cooking time. If your favorite
sauce contains sugar,try adding it only during the
last 15to 20 minutes of cooking time for best
results.
Q.Whencookingmanyindividualfoods,whatan
Idoto insurethatfoodswillcookevenly?
A.men cooking foods of various sizes and
thicknesses, start larger or thicker pieces first
and add quicker cooking, smaller pieces later,
Press the meat lightly to lie flat on the grill. Slash
the fat on the edges of steaks and chops to prevent
curling. Break thejoints of split chickens so they
will lie flat.
Q.Mygrilledmeatssometimescomeoutdrier
thantheyshould.WhatcanIdo to help
preventthis?
A. Season meats after cooking rather than before—
salt can draw outjuices and dry out meat. Use
tongs to turn and rearrange meats on the grill;
forks will pierce the meat and releasejuices.

damage the finish if left on the porcelain.
If acidsspillonthegrillwhileitishot,use adry paper towel to wipe it
up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
Forotherspills,suchasfatsmatterings,wash with soap and water after
the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with adry cloth.
GrillElement
Do not clean the grill element. Most soil will burn off during use.
VentilationSystem
VentGrille:The vent
grille lifts off easily.
Wipe clean or wash
in the sink with mild
household detergents.
Filter: Turn off the fan
before removing. Turn
the filter retainer clip
to remove the filter.
The filter is apermanent
type and should be
cleaned when soiled.
Clean in the sink with
warm water and liquid
dishwashing detergent.
AIMPORTANTDo not operate the fan’without the
filter.The filter should always be placed at an angle.
As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the
filter should rest against the left side of the vent
opening and the bottom of the filter should rest
against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the
bottom. If the filter is flat against the fan wall,
ventilation effectiveness is reduced.
VentilationChamber:This area, which houses the
filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or
whenever it becomes coated with afilm of grease.
The ventilation chamber may be cleaned with apaper
towel, damp cloth or sponge and amild household
detergent or cleanser.

STEP 4
Pm THEDU~RUN
1. Make asketch ofthe total system.
Identifythe type ofeach fittingand the length of
straight pipe.
2. Enter your run into the Duct hngth Chart in
this guide. Elbows,wallcaps and other fittings
are shown in the chart with their equivalent
straight duct length. Each fittingvalue must be
added to the amount ofstraight duct length used
to determine the overallstraight duct equivalent
length. Use the followingexamples as aguide.
3. Using good quatityducting material, install
per these instructions. Afewminutes and
pennies spent nowwillpay long term dividends
for the ~ie ofthe cooktop.

●Ducting must conform to localcode materials
and “makeup” requirements-300 CFM
minimum.

proper performance.
●Afterreading these instructions,planthe

●Use the “Ductbngth Chart” to find the
equivalentlength ofthe run.
●Shiftthe blower to “high range” ifindicated
(doneby snapping the “restrictedring”out ofthe
blower inlet). Be sure blower is not running.
●Installthe duct hardware.

High me is 61 to 90’
GENEN CONSIDERA~ONS:
1. Use6’ diameterroundor 3WX1Wrectan~h o*.
2. Use aYto Wtransition (or aYround to
3%’xIVrectigular transition)atthe bloweroutiet.
The number ofadditionalelbows or transitionsin
the systemshouldbe hted to three.
3. Use qualitymetal duct ofat least 26gauge
galvanizedor 24gauge aluminum. Inferior
qualitypipe and fittingscan cause up to twicethe
restriction shown and is apoor value. See the
Prepare for Duct Work section ofthis guide for
optionalunder-slab ducting. bcal codes may
require aheavier gauge material or restrict PVC.
4. Distance between adjacentfittings (elbows,
transitions, etc.) should beat least lW. me
further the better. Closer distice promotes
turbulence which reduces airflow.
5. Handmadecrimpsare Web tocauserestrictions.
6. Han alternate wallor roof cap is used, be
certain duct size is not reduced, and that there is
abackdraft damper. It is best to use listed caps to
be certain ofproper performance.
7. Thermal breaks: In areas ofextreme cold
weather, it maybe necessary to provideashort

Thiscooktop is equipped with adual range

range for most installations.Ethe Equivalent
Duct bngth exceeds 60feet it must be shifted to
high range. Do not shiftto high range for
shorter lengths. This willcause excessive noise
and loss ofconditioned air.
To shiftto high range
be sure the blower is
