Before Using the Grill

1. Remove the cooking grate and drip tray from the grill. Wash the grate with warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth. USE ONLY HIGH TEMP PLASTIC  UTENSILS WHEN GRILLING. Visit our website to purchase a set of high-quality stainless steel/high temp plastic grill utensils, www.cookwithkenyon.com.

2. Make sure the drip tray is inserted all the way into the bottom of the grill and electric element brackets are resting on the element support bracket.

3. Cover the bottom of the drip tray with a liquid. The 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.

4. To keep your grill smoke-free, always clean the grilling surfaces after each use. Simply wash with warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth or place it in your dishwasher.  Empty the drip tray and wipe with a damp paper towel. The disposable drip tray can be used multiple times before needing to be replaced.

5. Place your cooking grate or optional griddle (part #B96000) onto the element with a drip tray installed. Use the griddle for foods such as eggs, pancakes, or my favorite – stuffed french toast!

6. Preheat grill with the lid closed for 5 – 7 minutes on desired heat setting for the type of food:
   • Vegetables 3-4 bars
   • Chicken, pork, and fish 4-5 bars
   • Hamburgers 6-7 bars
   • Steak 7-8 bars

7. Close the lid and cook. Enjoy the best-grilled food you have ever tasted!

8. Clean up. Take a few pieces of paper towel and place them 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 away and wipe the grates off with a dry paper towel.

9. Once the grate has cooled sufficiently, remove the grate and place it in your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

10. With the grate removed, lift up the electric element and remove the drip tray. Empty the contents of the drip tray in an appropriate place. Wipe the tray out with a dry paper towel and reuse the tray. The tray can last for several uses.

11. After you have used your grill many times, you may want to wash the lid. It can be placed in your dishwasher and run on the pots & pans cycle. This will restore your grill to its original pristine look.

12. To clean the grill, first, be sure the cooking surface has cooled enough to handle. Then remove the grate, lift up the electric element until it locks in the up position, then the drip tray.

13. Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any residue from previous grilling sessions.

14. Your Kenyon grill came with a sample bottle of stainless steel cleaner. Use this cleaner once a month to protect the stainless.

15. The touch control area is ceramic glass which is sealed from the effects of rain, snow, and ice. To clean the glass, use a glass cleaner and a soft towel. If stains appear, use a ceramic glass cleaner which can be found in your local grocery store.

Stuffed French Toast

16 slices Thin Sliced Bread
1 lb. Cream Cheese (softened)
½ cup Peach Preserves (or your favorite)
4 T. Butter| French Toast Batter:
5 Large eggs thoroughly beaten
1 cup Milk
1 T. Cinnamon, ground
½ t. Allspice, ground
½ t. Coriander, ground
2 oz. Water (Dark Rum, Optional)
---|---

In a large bowl place the eggs and beat with a wire whisk. Add the milk and beat again until incorporated. In a separate smaller bowl pour water or Rum (if you prefer) and add dry ingredients, mix thoroughly. Once the dry ingredients have been mixed, add to the egg and milk mixture and beat again until mixed. By doing this you avoid the clumps that come with making the batter.

Method of Preparation:
This will require the use of your griddle. Preheat your ‘All Seasons Grill’ on medium-high heat (6 bars) for approximately ten minutes.
Once the cream cheese has softened mix with the peach preserves. Divide equally onto eight slices of bread and spread evenly. Place the remaining eight slices on top to make a  sandwich. When your griddle has been preheated, add two tablespoons of butter and move around to coat the griddle. Reserve the rest of the butter for the remaining pieces of  French Toast. Take the sandwich and dip into the mixture and flip it over to coat both sides of your bread.
Quickly do this to three more “sandwiches”. You will now have four pieces of stuffed French Toast on your griddle.
Be careful not to burn. Flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking until both sides are browned nicely.
At this point, you either serve with some nicely warmed maple syrup and butter, or you can keep warm in a low oven until you finish the remaining pieces of French Toast.

Operation

DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES
Smother fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch the grate or element of the grill.  Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a potholder.

DO NOT COOK ON A 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 it.

DO NOT TOUCH THE 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.

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, voiding your warranty and posing a fire hazard.

NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED AT HIGH HEAT SETTINGS
High heat settings 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 grill with a cloth and a stainless steel or glass surface cleaner.

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

TO PREVENT SMOKE
To prevent the contents of the drip trays from smoking, place 1 cup 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

Grill Parts

Heating Element
The heating element is designed to pivot as shown to remove/replace the baffle tray and drip tray. It will stay in the up position. To put down apply slight downward pressure.
Baffle Tray
The baffle tray supports the drip tray, heating element, and grate and must always be used when operating the grill.

Drip Tray
The disposable drip tray collects all the fat and juices created during the cooking process. The drip tray must be emptied after each use. When replacing the drip tray, position the drip tray so that it is completely contained inside the baffle tray and ensure that the side of the rim of the drip tray does not protrude outside of the baffle tray. Refer to the image below.

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

B96001.

Grate
The grate must be cleaned after every use. The grate has a nonstick coating for ease of cleaning. Wash the grate after each use in warm soapy water.

Lid
The SilKEN® Grill incorporates a high-temperature silicone lid. Through the use of silicone, the lid can collapse accordion-style to a height of two inches. The insulation quality of high-temperature silicone allows for very fast and even heat while the lid helps to prevent accidental burns.
There are two handles on the lid, one on the top and one on the front edge with vents on three sides. Use the front handle when the lid is hinged. The top handle is used to collapse and expand the lid to the desired height.

Lid Removal
The lid is removable for cleaning. To remove the lid, slide the quick release pin out of the hinge.

With the quick-release pin removed, grasp the lid, lifting it on the left side to clear the hinge and slide it to the left until clear of the hinge pin on the right. Once the lid is removed,  it can be washed in warm, soapy water.

WARNING!
The grill must cool completely before collapsing the silicone lid.

Countertop Preparation
You’re SilKEN® Grill is supplied with a factory-installed polished stainless steel flange that accepts four oval head wood screws for mounting. The trim flange of the grill is designed to hold the unit firmly in place on the countertop. If desired, you may seal the edge of the countertop beneath the trim flange. We recommend a NON-ADHESIVE  such as Plumber’s Putty. Should you need to remove the unit from the countertop after installation simply takes 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 diagram on page 16). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a fire hazard.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION PRIOR TO MAKING A CUTOUT FOR THE GRILL.
It is important to plan ahead for the installation of the grill, keeping the following dimensions in mind.

• A – 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets
• B – 36 inches is the minimum height of countertop above the 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 5 for overall grill dimensions).
• 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-thick  stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch-thick copper.
• E – 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to the edge of a grill(refer to page 5 for overall grill dimensions). 1-1/2 inches minimum from the front of the counter to grill.

FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA:
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch (13mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 13MM DE TOUTE SURFACE ADJACENT.

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 sidewalls 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 the 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 a 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.

If your countertop is made of solid surface material you will need to check with the manufacturer for specific recommendations for cooktop & grill installation instructions.  Most solid surface countertop manufacturers require additional corner supports to prevent damage to the countertop. Use the included screws to secure the grill to the countertop. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.

Use Plumber’s putty to seal the grill to the 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 to the plumbing part. 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 the 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 to the 5/8” ID flexible hose that came with your grill.  The portable version of the grill comes with a brass pipe plug installed in the drain fitting. If you are using your grill as a portable unit, save the hose and 90º brass fitting for possible installation in the future.

Outlet Location
Be sure the electrical outlet intended for the grill is in an easily accessible location. This allows the user to easily plug and unplug the grill. This is necessary to ensure safe cleaning and storage of the 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. 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.
