Grilling In Windy Conditions - Viking Range 5 Serie Manual De Instalacion Y Uso

GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS

Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen
ranges. That's how they sear and grill steaks and other
foods.
These high-performance burners require a constant, steady
supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your grill pulls air in
through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear.
Air enters through the front of the grill.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the
front-to-back air fl ow. If, while grilling with all burners on
high and the hood closed, you notice that the temperature
gauge fails to rise ... be careful. If wind has kept hot gases
from exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs
may have become extremely hot. may have become extremely hot.
Wind hitting the back of the grill can
disrupt proper exhaust.
Your grill features a heat stabilizer that will defl ect wind and,
in most cases, prevent this situation.
But there are a few things you can do to further prevent
the possibility of improper heat buildup:
• On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood
down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on
high. (Never leave the grill unattended when in operation)
