OPERATING THE GRILL:

Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and
instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the
burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn
off these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
• Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are
at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the
burner control knob to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close cover during preheat period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a
gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you or
your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this
should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs, close the lid and turn off the burner until
the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
