Inner Burner and Inner Control Knob - The Inner Burner is a 10” diameter gas fi red burner operating at 20,000BTU’s . This burner is controlled by the Inner or center-most control knob. Temperatures are adjustable from 250F° to 650F°. Starting at the Off position, the Inner Control Knob rotates 120-degrees counterclockwise through 18 positions. Beginning at 250°F, temperatures increment at 250°F, 275°F,

Outer Burner and Outer Control Knob - The Outer Burner is a 20” diameter gas fi red burner operating at 20,000BTU’s . This burner is controlled by the Outer or outer-most control knob. Temperatures are adjustable from 225°F to 700°F. Starting at the Off position, the Outer Control Knob rotates 120-degrees counterclockwise through 18 positions. Beginning at 250°F, temperatures increment at 250°F, 275°F,

300°F, 325°F, 350°F, 375°F, 400°F, 425°F, 450°F, 475°F, 500°F, 525°F, 550°F, 575°F, 600°F, 625°F,

650°F.

Either the Inner or the Outer burners may be used independently to support a wide range of cooking techniques. Operating only the Inner burner provides direct temperature under the center of the cook surface, with indirect heat at the outside edge that is useful for holding pre- and post-cooking processes. Conversely only the Outer burner can be used for cooking foods that may be displayed around the outside radius of the cooktop. Finally, both burners can be used together for maximum surface temperature and cooking versatility.

Because the cook surface temperatures are electronically monitored to maintain a Set temperature, surface temperature recovery is very fast, providing a wide range of surface temperature adjustment and control.

Do not operate cook top or clean drip pan into spillover slots without spillover trays installed in spillover drawers. Failure to install ninth-pan spillover trays will result in cooking grease contamination to the underside of drawer. This requires immediate drawer removal and cleaning.

The Affi nity grill has removable ninth-pan spillover trays concealed in sliding drawers on both the right and left side of the front control panel. When closed, these trays align with the drip pan Spillover Slots allowing cooking debris to be wiped from the pan into the slots and to the spillover tray below. It is very important to monitor the level of spillover in the trays, and immediately empty when they are near full.

Opening Spillover Tray Drawers - To open a drawer, grasp the drawer at its bottom side and pull forward. When grasping the drawer you will notice a Drawer Pull Recess which causes a reveal at the underside of the drawer. Place your hand under the drawer front and pull forward to extend the drawer until it stops.

Do not allow spillover liquids or debris down spillover slots when drawers are open. Any liquids or debris that may fall into this area when drawers are open should be immediately wiped with a dry cloth, and keep this area clean at all times.

Removable Drawer Slides - The drawers are easily removed by fi rst extending the drawer, and then simultaneously depressing the recessed catches on both the inner and outer slide rails. Once removed, the drawer interior may be cleaned. Installation is the reverse of removal, taking care to install the rails into each corresponding rail guide.

Do not allow the spillover trays to overfl ow, and do not allow full trays to splash over edge when opening drawers. Spillover debris and liquids can be hot and cause burns, and/or damage to the internal operation of the grill.

COOK SURFACE MAINTENANCE

Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Affi nity 30Ge cooktop will keep it looking and functioning it’s best.

The cook surface is designed to hold a fi ne layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained.

Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning, there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal spatula or scraper works for removing the majority of surface debris. For tougher areas or where sugars glaze the cook surface, pour a small amount of warm water on the soiled surface while the grill is warm and scrape the debris away with a spatula. Heat the cook surface to a high temperature and allow the sticky debris to become brittle. Once the debris is brittle, use the spatula or scraper to remove it. Afterwards wipe the cook surface with vegetable oil again before cooking.

To condition the Evo cook surface you should use the grill cleaning kit supplied with your grill. The grill cleaning kit contains a blue grill pad handle, grill cleaning screens, and grill grey polishing pads. Use the polishing pad after the grill cleaning pads to achieve a smooth cooking surface for the most delicate foods and applications.

To use a grill cleaning screen: With a warm cook surface, place one gray polishing pad between the grill handle base and the grill screen, so the grill screen makes direct contact with the cooking surface. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil on the cook surface and scrub the surface in a circular motion. The gray polishing pad allows excess oil to be absorbed and scours the cooking surface of carbonized debris. When fi nished scrubbing, wipe the surface down with a paper towel or cotton terry cloth.

The drip pan located just below the cook surface is designed to catch food debris and drippings from the cook surface. We recommend cleaning the drip pan after your grill has cooled to prevent the possibility of touching hot adjoining surfaces. The drip pan is easy to wipe out with soap and water using a kitchen sponge. For added convenience, two removable stainless ninth-pans are mounted inside retractable drawers at right and left side of the front control panel for collecting drip pan debris and spill overs. These spillover trays can be easily washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Be sure to empty the spillover trays after every use, and at a minimum, whenever they appear half full.

All the stainless steel components on your grill can be easily polished using a stainless steel cleaner/polish. The product we recommend is called “Sheila Shine” and is a commercial product normally available from industrial restaurant supply houses. Sheila Shine can be purchased from the Evo web site along with replacement grill cleaning and polishing pads. The Evo web site address is: www.evoamerica.com.

Cooking Techniques

Stovetop Cooking and Heat Zones

You can use Evo’s cook surface similar to the burners on your kitchen stove top. Adjust Evo’s heater elements to control the temperatures of the cook surface “heat zones.” Evo’s circular grill top is divided into two distinct zones.

The center control panel knob controls the “inner heat zone,” which is also the inner circle of the cook surface at approximately an 11” radius from the center of the cook surface. The outer control panel knob controls the “outer heat zone,” which is the outer circle of the cook surface. Because the cook surface is made of heavy steel, it takes approximately 10 minutes from a cold start to completely heat the surface. With a pre-heated cook surface, if you adjust one of the heater elements, you will have to wait momentarily before the heat zone adjusts to temperature.
