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 burners,
lower the Lid, and
operate
grill on HIGH
setting
for 3 to 5 minutes.
CAUTION:
Operating
your grill on the HIGH 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,
light your grill on HIGH,
lower the Lid
and follow
this timetable:
•
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 HIGH
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 HIGH
setting
for extended
cooking.
[]
Medium
to Low
Settings:
Most recipes
specify
medium
to low settings,
including
all smoking,
rotisserie
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 controlled
environment
inside
your kitchen,
variables
including
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 middle
and back primary
cooking
areas
offer the
highest
heat for searing
and grilling.
•
The Secondary
Cooking
Rack offers
medium
heat for
preparing
breads
and firm vegetables
like potatoes
and corn.
•
The front
primary
cooking
area offers
less heat and is
ideal for preparing
delicate
foods
and for keeping
cooked
foods
warm.
Direct
Cooking
[]
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,
grilling,
deep frying
and whenever
you want
foods
to
have an open-flame
barbecued
taste.
Indirect
Cooking
[]
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 Burner
lit on the opposite
side. Or place
your food
on the Secondary
Cooking
Rack and light
the outer grill 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
including
edges
and any areas
with
chipped
porcelain.
Fla re-U ps
[]
The fats and juices
dripping
from grilled food
can
cause
flare-ups.
Since
flare-ups
impart
a favorably,
distinctive
taste and color
to food
cooked
over
an
open flame,
they should
be accepted
up to a point.
To minimize
flare-ups
use a drip pan under
foods
that produce
a lot of grease,
like ribs.
Failure
to comply
with these
instructions
could
result
in a fire or explosion
that
could
cause
serious
bodily
injury, death
or
property
damage.
Never
line
the bottom
of the grill
housing
or
Savor
Plates
TM
with
aluminum
foil,
sand
or any
substance
that
will
restrict
the
flow
of grease
into
the
Grease
Draining
Tray
and
Receptacle.
Before
each
use of your
grill:
Pull out the 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
overhangs)
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.
