Using Your Grill; Pre-Grill Checklist - Viking 5 Series Installation Use & Care Instructions

USING YOUR GRILL

Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled
heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a "HI" heat setting
with the lid open.
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or poultry
are often fi rst seared at the high setting and then grilled at
a lower setting ... sometimes with the lid closed ... achiev-
ing the best results in the middle of the food without
burning the outside.
Main Brass Burner
This heavy-duty,
durable brass burner
is the standard main
burner found under the
briquette trays.

PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX: "Unpacking & Assembly"
for further details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: "Gas
Requirements" for further details.)
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: "Electric
Requirements" for further details.)
• A qualifi ed plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fi ttings that supply fuel to your grill.
ProSear™ Burner
This advanced
infrared burner provides
high-intensity infrared
heat for searing foods
and sealing in fl avor.
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using
indirect heat.
Your grill features a variety of professional-level burners and
tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges.
We will reveal how these features work for you. So please
read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your grill may be
equipped with up to three different burner types. The
operation of each type varies, so it is important to
understand all three.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the
cooking surface and provides consistent heat
for slow rotisserie cooking.
• IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SEC-
ONDS you may need to purge the line. (See INDEX:
"Purging the Gas Line"
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifi ces
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill
and can disrupt air fl ow, causing damage to the grill and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fi ttings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
