Burn-Off
[]
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or foreign
matter. Ignite the main burners, lower the Lid, and oper-
ate grill on Hi setting for 3 to 5 minutes. The Lid must be
open if the infrared burner is lit.
CAUTION: Operating your griII on the Hi setting for longer
than five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill.
Do not leave your grill unattended when in use.
Preheating
[]
To preheat main burners, light your grill on Hi, lower the
Lid and follow this timetable. To preheat the infrared
burner the Lid must be open.
• For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5
minutes.
• For low temperature
cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.
• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
[]
High setting: The Hi Control Knob setting should only be
used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes and for
burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after
cooking
is complete. Never use the Hi setting for ex-
tended cooking.
[]
Medium to Low Settings:
Most recipes specify medium
to low settings, including all smoking, serie cooking and
cooking lean cuts such as fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures
[]
The suggested heat settings and cooking times shown
in the following pages are approximate.
Unlike the con-
trolled environment inside your kitchen, variables includ-
ing outside temperatures,
direction and conditions
of
wind, as well as grill location will affect your grill's heat
distribution. Because these condition vary, and no two
backyards are alike, we offer this guide as a convenience.
We recommend you monitor your grill closely and rotate
foods as needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the
most delicious results every time.
• The infrared cooking
area is for quick searing. Once
seared, reduce heat and continue cooking or move food
to the primary cooking area to finish cooking.
• The middle and back primary cooking areas offer high
heat for grilling.
• The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for
preparing breads and firm vegetables.
• The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is
ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping cooked
foods warm.
Direct Cooking
using Main Burners or Infrared Burner
[]
The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied
Cooking Grids and food placed directly over the lit grill
Burners. Direct Cooking
requires
the Grill Lid to be
open. This method is ideal for searing and grilling when
you want an open-flame barbecued taste.
Indirect Cooking using Main Burners
[]
The indirect cooking method can also be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly,
the food
should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with
the main Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place your
food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light the outer
main Burners. Either way, indirect
cooking
must be
done with the Lid down.
Prepare Cooking
Grids for Grilling
[]
Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods from
sticking during the cookout and reduces the amount of
cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of
cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each Cooking
Grid before each cookout. We do not suggest spray type
oils unless they are specified
for high-temperature
cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface.
Flare-Ups
[]
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause
flare-ups which impart a favorably, distinctive taste and
color to food. They should be accepted up to a point. To
minimize
flare-ups:
• Use a drip pan under foods that produce a lot of
grease
Trim excess
fat from
meats
and poultry
Preheat
the grill properly
Clean grill regularly to remove food and grease build-
up
• Reposition
your food
often
to avoid flare-ups
Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily
injury, death or property damage.
Never cover the cooking grids, Heat Diffusers, bot-
tom of grill bowl or Grease Draining Tray with char-
coal, aluminum foil, sand or any substance
that can
absorb grease.
Before each use of your grill: Pull outthe Grease Tray
and remove all grease and food debris to prevent
grease fire hazard.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall
or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet away from
combustible
objects
that
can melt or
catch fire
(such as vinyl or wood
siding, fences
and over-
hangs) or sources of ignition including
pilot lights
on water
heaters
and
live electrical
appliances.
Never use your
gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your grill
will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill. Never
lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not touch
cooking
surfaces,
Lid, grill housing
or other parts
while grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled
down after use.
