Grill & Griddle Use - Fisher & Paykel DCS RGS Series Service Manual

GRILL
The grill grates are reversible. Place the side with the two
grooved tabs towards the rear of the cooktop. The grill
grates are made of durable porcelain enameled cast iron.
One side of the grate is ridged (side A) and should be used
for foods where you want the fat to run off , such as steak or
hamburger patties. The ridges are slopped so the fat runs
toward the front of the grill and can easily run down to
the cooler area of the drip tray and away from the intense
heat of the burner. The other side of the grate (side B) is
designed for foods that need more support while cooking,
such as fi sh. Food cooked on the grill section achieves the
same fl avor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The intense
radiant heat from the ceramic rods caramelizes the fats and
juices that are brought to the surface of the food, giving it
the barbecued fl avor.
NOTE: This gas grill may cook slightly faster than
you are used to, thus preheat and grilling times
should be adjusted accordingly.

CERAMIC RODS
The layer of ceramic rods, under the grill racks, will last for
many years with proper care. They are shipped from the
factory pre-assembled on the radiant tray, ready to be set
in place into the fi re box, under the grill racks. Be sure to
remove any packaging material from the radiant tray and
rods before using the grill. Burned food particles and ash
can be emptied off the radiant tray when cool by gently
shaking over a waste receptacle. Chipping or cracking of
the ceramic rods may occur as they may get brittle with age,
depending on frequency of use. This is normal and does not

USE OF THE GRILL
Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the drip tray and
liners are in place and that you have the grill racks turned
to the side you want for cooking. Preheat the grill for 10
minutes with the control knob set on HI. When the grill is
preheated, turn the knob down to medium to low, place the
food on the grill. Cook it to the doneness desired. During
cooking, it may be necessary to adjust the heat setting. The
control knob may be set to any position between HI and LO.
For proper searing and browning, the grill requires high to
medium heat. When cooking, you will use medium to low
heat the entire cooking time. With large pieces of meat or
poultry, you may need to turn the heat to low setting after
the food has been seared. This lower heat setting will allow
the food to cook through without burning the outside.
When using a sugary marinade or barbecue sauce, it may
be necessary to turn the heat setting down near the end of
the cooking time. Do not leave the grill unattended while
it is turned on. When you are fi nished cooking, allow the
grill and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them. They
should be cleaned each time they are used.
NOTE: The longer you preheat the grill, the darker
the grill marks.
