•Before the first use,wash your newgrillgrates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Thee "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. This procedure should be
repeated when: a) cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning,or b)anytime asugar-based marinade(forexample, barbecuesauce) is
going to beused.
•Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur _nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheatthe grillon Hi for5 minutes.Preheatingimprovestheflavor andappearance
of meatsand quickly sears the meat to helpretain the juices.
•Excessiveamounts of fat should be trimmedfrom meats. Only a normal amount is
necessaryto producethesmokeneededforthat smoked,"outdoor"flavor. Excessive
fat cancreate cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Allowing excessiveamounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on the grill grates. Excessive flare-ups indicate that eitherthe grill interior
needsto becleanedor that excessiveamounts offatare in themeat or themeat was
not properly trimmed.
• Greasedrippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a
second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
•NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATI'ENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.

With your Jenn-Air,grill literally anyfood you've considered "at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with Lessfuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rulesto follow and will increase your enjoyment of
theequipment.
• Be sure to follow directions on page 13 for using the grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
inmeats.Experience willquicklyindicate cooking timesaswell aswhich settings
work best.
• Forbest results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4inch will grill better
than thinner cuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• Fortheattractive "branded" lookon steaks, besure grill ispreheated. Allow one
sideof meattocookto desireddoneness,or untiljuices appear onthetop surface,
beforeturning. Turnsteaks and hamburgersjust once. Manipulating foodcauses
lossofjuices.
• When basting meats or applying saucesto foods, remember that excessive
amountswindup LnsideyourgriLlanddo notimprovethe foodflavor. Applysauces
duringthe last 15to 20 minutesof cookingtime unlessrecipespecifies otherwise.
Plus, anytime a sugar-basedmarinade, (for example,barbecuesauce) isgoing
to be used, the grates should be "seasoned"prior to preheating. (See p. 13.)
• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize lessexpensive cutsof
meat for cooking onthe grill.
• Certain foods,such aspoultry and non-oilyfish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally whilegrilling.
• Use tongs with long handlesor spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as
these pierce the meat,allowingjuices to be lost.
• To help retainmeat juices,salt afterturning meat or after cooking is completed,

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to
check:
• 6" diameter round or 3_/4" x 10" rectangularducting should be usedfor duct lengths
10'-60'. Note: 5"diameter roundducting must beused ifthe duct length is10'
or less.
• Nomore thanthree 90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
• RecommendedJenn-Air wallcap shouldbe used. Make suredamper movesfreely
when ventilation system is operating.
•There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near aside wall.
Ifthere is notan obvious improper installation, there may bea concealed problem such
as e pinched joint,obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the resoonsibilitv of the
installerand questionsshouldbeaddressedfirstbytheinstaller. Theinstaller shouldvery
carefully check theducting installation instructions.
