Grilling Steak and Ribs
Fill Water Tray half-full. Turn the grill Burners on HIGH,
close the Lid and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open
Lid and place food on the mid section of a Cooking Grid.
Sear 2-3 minutes on each side then adjust the Infrared
Burners to LOW and continue cooking until desired
doneness. You can also move the seared meat to the
Secondary Cooking Rack to finish cooking. This method
allows you to sear and prepare larger amounts of meat
and keep cooked food warm. Grilling times will vary
according to meat thickness.

and place food (skin down) on the mid section of a
Cooking Grid. Sear 2 minutes on each side then adjust
the Infrared Burners to LOW and continue cooking until
fish is opaque but still moist.
Vegetables and Fruit
Fill Water Tray half-full. Prepare your fruit or vegetables
and brush with butter or basting sauce if desired. In some
instances, you may want to grill vegetables and fruit
directly over the heat, using the supplied Cooking Grids.
Foods that work best with direct heat are relatively soft and
require a short cooking time: mushrooms, zucchini,
tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apricots, peaches,
pineapple, strawberries and kiwis. Remember the Grill
Lid must remain up when cooking directly.
To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on the left or
right side of your grill (or Secondary Rack) with the
Burners lit on the opposite side. Either way, indirect
cooking must be done with the Lid down.

For very firm vegetables--particularly potatoes and yams,
we recommend that you partially boil until almost cooked,
before placing them on the grill.
CAUTION: Infrared cooking times will be much shorter
than traditional grilling so never operate this appliance
unattended.
NOTE: Do not use aluminum foil to wrap vegetables and
fruit, nfrared heat does not cook through aluminum foil
and reflective pans.
