Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces. General Grill Cleaning 4Food Safety Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps: Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry. Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready- to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods. Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am-4:00 pm EST. How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.

• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 145° F.

• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
