  • Page 13 Keep your face away from the grill as far as possible and pass a lit, long stem match through the notch in the grill rack to the ports of the burner you are trying to light. When attempting to light a burner with a match, ensure that the correct burner control knob is used.

  • Page 14: Burner Adjustments

    1 minute. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS: NOTE: Alfresco grills are available with both U-burners and IR burners. The following instructions apply only to the U-burners. IR burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper performance.
  • Page 15 AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT: A sheet metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that enters into the burner for combustion. The air shutter is locked in place by a screw, which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

  • Page 16: Adjustment Steps

    ADJUSTMENT STEPS: 1. Follow lighting instructions by setting the control knob on “HI” and allow the burner to preheat for 10 minutes. 2. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the burner temperature to drop and stabilize. 3. Attempting adjustment at any setting other than LOW can create a dangerous condition.
  • Page 17 “Infrared Grilling Tips” section on page 19. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking. ROTISSERIE BURNERS: Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. The location of the rear burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to col- lect juices and drippings for basting and gravy.

  • Page 18: Rotisserie Motor

    Start the motor with the switch located on the right side of the control panel. ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN: Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill includes a basting pan for use with the rotisserie. Place the pan onto the grill racks (or, if necessary, directly onto the briquettes if the grill racks are removed to accommodate large cuts of meat).
  • Page 19 WOOD CHIP SMOKER: By using real wood chips in the smoker system of your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill, you can add extra flavor to all of your grilled foods. For good smoke performance, soak the wood chips for not less than 30 minutes, drain excess liquid and fill the smoker tray completely.

Remove the right grate and place the Steamer/Fryer into the grill as shown above. 2.

  • Page 22: Stainless Steel Care

    7. If required, dry the Grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel. If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill should offer excellent life and should live up to its reputation of being “stainless”.
  • Page 23 Bleaches: Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use.
  • Page 24 To maintain the appearance of your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for many years, keep it covered when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements will reduce the appearance of the stainless steel.
