Turn on gas supply. 4. Push and turn right pilot valve knob to “pilot” position. See figure 6. 5. Rotate igniter knob clockwise several times. You will hear a snapping sound, indicating that a spark is being delivered to the pilot. You may need to rotate knob several times before the pilot lights. Check to make sure pilot is lit. See figure 7. 6. If the pilot does not light, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes before repeating steps 4 and 5. 7. Rotate burner control knob(s) to “High” position and burners will ignite. Leave burners at high position to pre-heat grill to desired searing temperature. 8. Adjust burner control knob(s) to desired cooking levels. 9. To turn off grill, push in and turn burner control knobs and the pilot valve knob to the “Off” position.
- Page 14 OPERATION CONT. LIGHTING BURNERS WITHOUT PILOT: If the pilot burner is not working properly the burners can be lit manually, using a long (10”) match or extended nozzle butane lighter. MANUAL LIGHTING STEPS: 1. Make sure all knobs are in the OFF position. 2. Open Hood. 3. Turn on gas supply. 4. Separate left and right cooking grids (Elite II Model) to create a gap in center of grilling area. 5. Light match or lighter and place through gap and position over burner screen and rotate burner control knob to high position. The burner will ignite. 6. Immediately move cooking grids back to their original position. 7. Leave burner at high position to pre-heat grill and follow previous operation instructions. 8. To turn off grill, push in and turn burner control knobs and the pilot valve knob to the OFF position.
- Page 15 OPERATION CONT. INFRARED GRILLING: Important: Do not place food over a burner that is not operating. Grease and drippings will clog the burner ports if the burner is not on. Grilling over infrared burners is a process that seals juices in foods. This is accomplished by searing the meat for a short period of time and not letting the juices escape. The infrared heat generated by the “Infrared Elite” allows the meat to be evenly cooked throughout. The intense temperature of the burner surface will vaporize drippings and produce a flavorful smoke absorbed by your food. Caution: The “Infrared Elite” grill can be operated at the high setting with the hood closed during normal cooking duration, but when cooking is completed grill must be turned off. Cooking with the “Infrared Elite” 1. Be sure the drip pan is in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Note: Drip pan can be lined with aluminum foil for ease of cleaning, but be sure not to block front ventilation space above pan with foil. 2. Light the burners using the instructions given. 3. Preheat the grill after lighting with burner control knob turned to “high” position for 5 to 10 minutes. 4. Place the food on the grill and cook 2-3 minutes for initial sear. 5. Turn the food and repeat step 4. 6. Set burner control knob to desired cooking level and continue cooking until the meat is cooked to your satisfaction turning as necessary.
- Page 16 COOKING HINTS 1. When handling meat, use a spatula or tongs, instead of a fork. When meat is pierced the natural juices will leak out. 2. Upon initial use, start off with hamburgers or hot dogs to become familiar with infrared cooking. 3. Reduce excessive flare-ups by: A. Trim excess fat. B. Pre-heat on high at least 5-10 minutes. C. Re-position meat towards rear of grilling area or on warming rack until flare-up goes down. D. Keep cooking grids clean after each use.

- Page 17 Maintenance and Cleaning Caution: Always allow the grill to cool before cleaning. Avoid exposing burner surface to water. Proper maintenance and cleaning will extend the life of your grill. Regular cleaning will reduce accumulations of debris, grease and fats. Infrared burners incinerate most drippings and food particles, but occasionally some particles may remain. For removal of these particles turn both burners on high with the hood down for 5-10 minutes. CLEANING Drip Pan: Remove drip pan from grill and clean with soap and water. If pan is lined with foil, remove and replace foil and reinstall pan. Cooking Grids: Cooking grids can be cleaned with a grill cleaning brush, while grids are still hot after each use. Stainless Steel Exterior Housing: Your “Infrared Elite” is made with the highest quality 304 stainless steel available. Stainless steel requires very little maintenance, however a good grade of stainless steel cleaner should be used for exterior cleaning. Powder Coated Surfaces: Powder coated surfaces can be cleaned with warm soapy water and rinsed with clean water. MAINTENANCE An occasional inspection of venturi inlets and orifice openings is recommended. Infrared burner maintenance can be maintained by operating the grill on high for 5-10 minutes after each use. Any excess accumulation of debris on burner surface can be removed easily. Remove cooking grids and burner screens and vacuum burner surface every few months or as needed.
- Page 18 Accessories: Rotisserie (TXS-ROT) With the “Infrared Elite” Rotisserie you can add a new dimension to your grill. Whole chickens, beef, and pork are wonderful when cooked on rotisserie. Installing the Rotisserie 1. Attach the Rotisserie bracket to grill by pushing bracket between top bezel and side hood upright using (2) 10 x ½” screws provided. NOTE: You may need to loosen (2) screws that attach hood up right to bezel first to allow space to insert brackets then retighten. 2. Position the Rotisserie motor on the rotisserie bracket and plug into grounded outlet. Using your Rotisserie Caution: Do Not Use rotisserie in the rain. 1. Remove cooking grids 2. Follow burner lighting instructions & Preheat for 5-10 minutes. 3. Position the spit-rod in the center of the meat, and tighten forks into ends of the meat.
