9 WARNING
• To avoid risk of injury, NEVER operate grill without the
4
grates or griddle plate accessory installed.
• NEVER leave grill unattended while cooking.
3
• Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils
and fats can easily cause fires.
• DO NOT use wood chips, lava rocks, or charcoal
2
briquettes. Only use recommended ceramic
briquettes (PABRICKBKN).
5
• DO NOT use dishes, pans, pots, or other cookware on
the grill.
1
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover the grates or to line
the grill. It can damage the grill and cause a fire
hazard if heat is trapped under it.
• Check drip tray before each use. Too much grease in
the tray may cause a fire hazard.
• If flames appear, grease should be cleaned from
grates, drip tray, briquette basket and other surfaces.
• Grease build up encourages flame and smoke
development while cooking.
• Ceramic briquettes must be replaced when they
begin to turn black. This means that they are
saturated with fat and may smoke heavily during
operation or the fat may catch fire.
9 WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF BURNS
• Use proper utensils with long handles that allow the
chef plenty of clearance from the heat and potential
flare ups.
• After each use, remove grease buildup from the grill
surfaces and the trays below the grill to avoid risk of
fire. Ventilation hoods should also be cleaned
frequently as needed and as recommended by the
Use and Care Guide, as well as surrounding surfaces.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and accessible.
9 CAUTION
Clean the grill after each use. Allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning.
1. Start overhead ventilation system 10 minutes prior to
grilling to begin air movement.
2. For best results, allow the grill grates to preheat
before placing food on them. Press and turn the knob
to the desired temperature setting.
3. During the initial use, heat the grill for about 10
minutes to eliminate manufacturing residues and
smells.
