Use and Care
“Your Flavor Screen will give you many years of flavorful service; however,
you should read and observe the following precautons.
The Flavor Screen has a self cleaning feature and will normally clean itselfif
the grill is lefi on the high seiting for 15 minutes after all cooking is
complete. However the length of time and method of cleaning the Flavor Screen
should be tailored to your cooking habits. Use the following suggestions to
develop a method that will keep your screen clean and performing as it should.
Normal Cleaning Method
After the completion of grilling, tumn the grilf to high until only an
accasional wisp of smoke is seen (about 5 minutes). This will remove most of
the material that builds up on the Flavor Screen, ‘The next time you grill
allow the grill to preheat on high for 5-10 minutes to complete the cleaning
cycle.
Periodic Thorough Cleaning Mcthod At least once every 5 to 6 uses (more if you
experience heavy buildup, less if you do not) you should go through a complete
cleaning cycle. This consists of tuming the grill on high for a 15- 20 minute
period. Allow the grill to cool completely, remove the Flavor Screen and flip
it over that the heavy build-up side is down or brush it with a soft bristled
brush (paint brush or BBQ brush).
DO NOT USE A STIFF OR WIRE BRISTLED BRUSH OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
‘THE USE OF THESE ITEMS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Alternate Cleaning Methods
The Flavor Screen may be placed in your sclf cleaning oven and subjected to a
“clean” cycle.
The Flavor Screen may be gently rinsed with a garden hose.
Frequently Asked Questions
‘What does the Flavor Screen do?
This structure intercepts the grease and other drippings from the food being grilled. Flames from grease which burns within the flavor screen and below the Aavor screen can’t reach the Tood being grilled.
‘What are the benefits of the Flavor Screen?
Enhances the amount and quality of smoke. The Flavor Screen creates smoke {rom the natural juices of the food being grilled. This results in that “charcoal gritled” flavor. Reduces flare-ups. When properly instatled and maintained, the unit will reducc flare-ups. Prevents foods from drying out. Because the Flavor Screen climinates flames and generates smoke and steam from the natural juices, the food does not dry out. Improves heat distribution. The Flavor Screen is designed to distribute the heat output of the burners by evenly distributing the hot gases preduced by the bumer. Improves heat response. The stainless steel construction of the Flavor Screen does not store excess heat; therefore, when the burner lemperature is adjusted, the temperature at the grilling surface changes very quickly (usually within 90 seconds). This enhances your ability to sear the food then reduce the heat and grill it over a low heat. Increases the life of the grill. The Flavor Screen reduces by up Lo 75% the amount of grease that reaches the burners and swrrounding area. Grease and drippings are the primary reason for corrosion of the burners and grill body.
Can I use wood chips with the Flavor Sereen?
Definitely, you can place them on top of the Flavor Screen, ‘When placed on top of the Flavor Screen you may experience some flare-ups.
