Cooking On the Gas Grill WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard: • Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Grill Cooking (Direct Method) Direct Cooking on the Grids: Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flavor Activators under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activators below and vaporize.
Warming Rack WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings: • When cooking food on the warming rack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan. • Clean grease drippings away from grill after each use. Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls.
Cooking Grid/Flavor Activators: Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel or porcelain-coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
