Before Using the Grill|

Remove the cooking grates and drip trays from the grill. Wash the grill with warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth. USE ONLY HIGH TEMP PLASTIC UTENSILS WHEN GRILLING. Visit our web site to purchase a set of high quality stainless steel/high temp plastic grill utensils, www.cookwithkenyon.com.
Make sure the drip trays are inserted all the way into the bottom of grill and electric element brackets are resting on the element support bracket.
Cover the bottom of the drip trays with a liquid. Water is fine. PLEASE DO NOT USE A FLAMMABLE LIQUID! Doing so would ruin your cookout. Using apple juice if you are grilling pork adds a nice flavor to the meat. A can of lime soda is wonderful if you are grilling fish. Just remember always add liquid to the drip trays prior to **grilling.

**

To keep your grill smoke free, always clean the grilling surfaces after each use. Simply wash with warm soapy water usin a non-abrasive cloth or place in your dishwasher. Empty the drip trays and wipe with a damp paper towel. The disposable drip trays can be used multiple times before needing to be replaced.
Place your cooking grates or optional griddles (part #B96000) onto the element with drip trays installed. Use the griddles for foods such as eggs, pancakes or my favorite – stuffed french toast!
Preheat grill with the lid closed for 5 – 7 minutes on desired heat setting for type of food:
- Vegetables 3-4 bars
- Chicken, pork and fish 4-5 bars
- Hamburgers 6-7 bars
- Steak 7-8 bars
Close the lid(s) and cook. Enjoy the best grilled food you have ever tasted!
Clean up. After the grill has cooled to the touch, take a few pieces of paper towel and place on the grilling surface. Pour about one ounce of water on the towel and then using your high temperature nylon tongs, swab the paper toweling back and forth to loosen up the residue from your grilling. Throw the paper towel awayand wipe the grates off with a dry paper towel.
Once the grates have cooled sufficiently, remove the grates and place in your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
With the grates removed, lift up the electric elements and remove the drip trays. Empty the contents of the drip trays in an appropriate place. Wipe the trays out with a dry paper towel and reuse the trays. The trays can last for many uses.
After you have used your grill many times, you may want to wash the lids. They can be placed in your dishwasher and run on the pots & pans cycle. This will restore your grill to its original pristine look.
To clean the grill, first be sure the cooking surface has cooled enough to handle. Then remove the grates, lift up the electric elements until they lock in the up position, remove the middle grate support cross bar, then the drip trays. The grate support cross bar is removed by lifting the rear and pulling the front notch off of the supporting tab. To install the support reverse the procedure. Do not cook on the grill without the support cross bar in place!
Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any residue from previous grilling sessions.
Your Kenyon grill came with a sample bottle of stainless steel cleaner. Use this cleaner once a month to keep your grill looking like new.

Operation

DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS
Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch the grate or element of the grill. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN GRILL GRATE OR GRIDDLE
If the grate should break, grease and oils may come into direct contact with the electric element and create a risk of electric shock or fire. Contact an authorized service center or KENYON Customer Care immediately at 860-664-4906.

CLEAN GRILL WITH CAUTION
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Read the cleaner label for details prior to using.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENT OR GRATE
The heating element and grate will be hot for some time after cooking. These components should be allowed to cool and then be handled with care and caution while cleaning, as they may be hot enough to cause severe burns.

DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS

CLEAN GRILL AFTER EACH USE
This appliance is equipped with removable, disposable drip trays. The drip trays MUST be removed and cleaned after each and EVERY use. Do not allow grease to accumulate between cooking. The drip trays and baffle tray MUST be used when cooking on the grill. Excessive grease may spill over into the interior of the grill and posing a fire hazard.

NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED AT HIGH HEAT SETTINGS
High heat setting may cause heavy smoking and ignite grease.

DO NOT CLEAN UNIT WITH PRESSURIZED WATER
Never clean the grill with any form of pressurized water or other types of cleaners. Doing so will void the warranty and may pose a serious risk of electric shock. Always clean the stainless steel with a cloth and a stainless steel or glass surface cleaner.

STORAGE
Suitable shelter must be provided to prevent direct exposure to rain. Covers available at www.cookwithkenyon.com

TO PREVENT SMOKE
To prevent the contents of the drip trays from smoking, place 2 cups of water (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in the drip trays before cooking.

DO NOT USE POTS OR OTHER BAKEWARE ON THE GRILL

TEXAN GRILL WITH KNOB CONTROL MAINTENANCE

The Kenyon Texan Grill with Knob Control is a sealed unit that does not require regular maintenance. Please follow our operating instructions as mentioned above. If your grill requires service, this must be preformed by Authorized Personnel only. Please call Kenyon Customer Care at 860-664-4906.

Grill Parts

Heating Elements
The heating elements are designed to pivot as shown to remove/replace the baffle tray and drip trays. They will stay in the up position. To put down apply slight downward pressure.

Baffle Tray
The baffle tray supports the drip trays, heating elements and grates and must always be used when operating the grill. The cross bar must also be installed to support the elements and grates.

Drip Trays
The disposable drip trays collect all the fat and juices created during the cooking process. The drip trays must be emptied after each use. When replacing the drip trays, position the drip trays so that they are completely contained inside the baffle tray and insuring that the side or the rim of the drip trays do not protrude outside of the baffle tray.

To prevent the contents of the drip trays from smoking, place 2 cups of water (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in the drip trays before cooking. The replacement for the disposable drip tray is Kenyon part #B96001.
Operation

Grates
Grates must be cleaned after every use. The grates have a nonstick coating for ease of cleaning. Wash grates after each use in warm soapy water.
Operation

Lid Removal
The grill lids are removable for cleaning. To remove the lids, open it so the bearing is aligned with the notch in the lidstay. Pull the lidstay toward the center of the grill, over the bearing, releasing the lid from the lidstay mechanism. Then slide the quick release pin out of the middle hinge.
Lid Removal

With the quick release pin removed, grasp the lid, pushing back on the center to clear the middle hinge and slide the lid away from the center of the grill until the outer hinge is free of it’s pivot pin. Once the lid(s) have been removed they can be washed in warm, soapy water. Installation is reverse of removal.
Lid Removal

Handle Lock
The handle lock allows the user to lock both lids together for ease of opening and accessing the entire grilling surface.
Operation

The lids can also be unlocked and opened individually for access to either half of the grilling surface.
Operation

This is a great feature allowing the user to access only half of the grill, allowing the other half to continue cooking uninterrupted.

Installation

Unpacking the Grill

Carefully unpack the grill from its shipping container.
Verify and identify the package contents. The following items should be included in the carton. If any components are missing or damaged, call KENYON immediately

Check the Electrical Supply Requirements
This product must be installed in accordance with national, state and local electric codes. The following table provides the correct voltage, amperage and frequency that must be supplied to the grill. The means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
Countertop Preparation
Your Texan Grill with Knob Control is supplied with a factory installed polished stainless steel flange that accepts nine oval head wood screws for mounting. The trim flange of the grill is designed to hold the unit firmly in place in the countertop. If desired, you may seal the edge of the countertop beneath the trim flange. We recommend a NON-ADHESIVE such as Plumbers Putty. This will help reduce the chance of damage to the trim flange should the unit need to be removed from the countertop. Should you need to remove the unit from the countertop after installation simply take a piece of fishing line and run back and forth under the trim flange to break the caulk bond.
WARNING
Allow a 2 inch (2”) minimum clearance between the bottom of the grill and combustible surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the grill (see page 18). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a fire hazard.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION PRIOR TO MAKING CUTOUT FOR THE GRILL.
It is important to plan ahead for installation of the grill, keeping the following dimensions in mind.
- A – 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
- B – 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor
- C – The minimum flat countertop surface that the grill will rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall grill dimensions (refer to page 6 for overall grill dimension
- D – 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4-inch-thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-think stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thickcopper.
- E – 6-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of grill(refer to page 6 for overall grill dimensions). 1-1/2 inches minimum from front of counter to grill.
  
  FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA:
  “Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch (12mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and
  NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.
  WARNING
  To eliminate the risk of burns by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
  Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the grill will clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
  Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper operation of the grill. Heat transferred from the grill bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.

Since the appliance requires a sufficient supply
of fresh air to operate at maximum performance,
the cabinet must be designed accordingly. The
following is required for this:

  * The cabinet must have a minimum of two openings; one to allow fresh air to enter and the other for hot air to escape the cabinet.
  * Opening sizes must be equal to 8 square

inches each. This is for ambient temperatures of 85ºF / 30ºC and below. If the ambient temperature around the appliance is above 85ºF / 30ºC then larger ventilation opening sizes may be required When making countertop cutout, radius the corner to help prevent cracking of the countertop material. A 1/4 inch radius is typical, but follow the countertop manufacturer’s instructions regarding the minimum radius and any reinforcements required to prevent damage to the countertop over time.
Use Plumber’s Putty to seal grill to countertop. Plumber’s Putty is a soft, pliable sealing compound that is used to make watertight seals around faucets, drains, and other plumbing parts. The putty is hidden under the flange, lip, or edge of the grill and is not visible when the grill is installed. If caulk were used instead of putty, it would be difficult to access these areas to cut through the caulk to remove the part.
Plumber’s Putty is a very inexpensive material that is sold in small plastic tubs. It is always shaped by hand before it is applied. Follow the basic instructions on the container of the
Plumber’s Putty. If your countertop is made of granite, marble, quartz, sandstone or Corian use a stain-free Plumber’s Putty to prevent staining of the countertop.
Drain Connection

For your convenience, the grill is equipped with a 1/2” NPT brass pipe fitting and 90º brass elbow which you can attach the 5/8” ID flexible hose that came with your grill.

Final Preparations Prior to Use
Remove the protective plastic film from the lid, trim flange and glass panel. Clean the grill before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a stainless steel or glass cleaner will remove any traces of plastic film adhesives and manufacturing oils.
Wash the nonstick coated grates in warm soapy water before using the grill.
