1. Follow the infrared side burner lighting instructions and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid
opened or until the ceramic burners glow red.
2. Place food on grills and cook according to times listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart.
3. Depending upon your taste, continue cooking over infrared burners on high, medium or low, turning
food frequently, or place food on the main burner area of the grill, close lid, and allow oven temperature
to slowly finish cooking your food.
CAUTION!
Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food left unattended over burners
will burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners on high. The intense heat
ensures adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observation of the
food, so as to prevent burning.
Protection Of Your Infra Red Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long
service life. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which
will cause the burners to malfunction.
•
Never let water come in direct contact with your ceramic burner.
•
Do not allow hard objects to impact the infra red burner.
•
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. A
large temperature differential can cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
•
Keep the lid closed when the side burner is not in use.
•
After cooking operate the burner on high for 5 minutes, to burn off any drippings and debris.
Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
Infrared Burners: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food particles
that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may
remain. To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill on high for 5-10 minutes. Do not clean the
ceramic tile with a wire brush.
Protection Of Infrared Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service
life, though care must taken to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces. Fractures will cause the burners
to malfunction. The following provides a few of the causes of cracks and the steps you can take to avoid
them. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
1. Impact with hard objects - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take care when inserting or
removing cooking grates and accessories into or from the grill.
2. Contact with water or other liquids - Cold liquids contacting the hot ceramic surfaces can cause them
to break. Never throw water into the grill to douse a flame. If the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes
wet while not in use, later operation of the burner can create steam, which can produce sufficient
pressure to crack the ceramic. Repeated soaking of the ceramic can also cause it to swell and expand. This
expansion causes undue pressure on the ceramic that can cause it to crack and crumble.
i) Never throw water into the grill to control flare-ups.
ii) Do not attempt to operate the infrared burners in open air while raining.
iii) If you find standing water in your grill (because of exposure to rainfall, sprinklers, etc.), inspect
the ceramic for evidence of possible watersoaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove
the burner from the grill. Turn it upside down to drain the excess water and bring indoors to dry
thoroughly.
3. Impaired ventilation of hot air from the grill - For the burners to function properly, hot air must have a
way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners can become deprived of oxygen
causing them to back-flash. If this occurs repeatedly, the ceramic could crack. Never cover more than 75%
of the cooking surface with solid metal (i.e., griddle or large pan).
4. Incorrect cleaning - Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush. If debris is collecting on your
burner, light the burner and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid open, allowing debris to burn off.
