Char-Grill (on select models)

The optional 18,000 BTU char-grill is equipped with a single piece, heavy-duty porcelainized cast-iron grill grate for easy movement of
grilling items. Beneath the grill grate is a slotted porcelainized flavor generator plate which is designed to catch drippings and
circulate a smoke flavor back into the food. Beneath the flavor generator plate is a two piece drip pan which catches any drippings
that might pass beyond the flavor generator plate. This unique grilling system is designed to provide outdoor quality grilling indoors.

Char-Grill Operation

•  Turn the overhead ventilation on prior to turning the grill on.
•  Turn the grill knob counterclockwise to HI 
•  Always preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before placing food on the grill grate.
•  Place food items on the grill, cook as desired.
•  To turn the grill off, turn the grill knob clockwise to the OFF position. 

Char-Grill Cooking Tips

• When grilling chicken, roasts, well-done steaks or chops and thick pieces of meat, sear on HI. Then, reduce the heat setting to

prevent excessive flare-up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside.

•  After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for approximately one minute, you may slide a spatula under the

meat and turn it approximately 90 degrees so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.

• Use a metal spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat. A spatula will not puncture the meat allowing juices to escape.
• Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops or hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the

meat is after the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.

• To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.
•  Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to drops of fat falling on the flavor generator plates. It is normal to

have some flare-up during grilling. Use a long handled spatula to move food to another area until the flames subside. 

•  For ease of cleaning, leave the char-grill on for 10 minutes when finished grilling. This will help make cleanup easier once the char-

grill has cooled down.  

Char-Grill Assembly

Follow these steps to disassemble the char-grill for cleaning. Make sure
the char-grill is completely cool before attempting to disassemble for
cleaning.
• Remove the char-grill grate. 
• Remove the flavor generator plate. 
• Remove the drip pan. Note that the drip pan is a two piece drip pan.
• Located beneath the burner is the drip tray. Under normal grilling

circumstances very little if any grease will accumulate in the drip tray.
If any grease has accumulated in the drip tray, then remove for
cleaning.

Char-Grill Clean Up & Care

• Char-grill grates:

-

May be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Before cleaning the grill turn the fame
down to a lower setting such as Med or Low. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently into a bowl
of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the food
particles.

-

For a thorough cleaning of the grill grate, use grill cleaner according to manufacturer’s directions and then soak 15-20 minutes
in a hot water and mild detergent solution.  After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad. Do not use a steel wool pad or
abrasive cleaner, for risk of damaging the porcelain finish. Dry thoroughly.

• Flavor generator plates, drip pan and drip tray:

-

Scrape off all burned on debris. The flavor-generator plates, drip pan and drip tray are dishwasher safe. If you choose to not
wash these components in the dishwasher then simply soak for 15-20 minutes in a hot water and mild detergent 

solution.

After soaking, scrub with a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad.
