TIPS
• The infrared heat technology will produce much less smoke than ordinary grills. It is
not 100% smoke-free when cooking food with lots of oil and fat. In those instances,
please use the smoke-less grill under a range hood for better smoke control.
• Do not turn the grilled food too frequently, to ensure that it retains its juices and
does not dry out.
• Fresh meat gives better grilling results than frozen or defrosted meat.
• For best results, make sure the meat you prepare is no thicker than approximately
one-half inch thick.
