Burn-Off
Some of the new parts of your grill could have
residual oils
We recommend
you ignite the burners,
turn to "Hi", and lower the lid for 3 to 5 minutes
to
burn any oils off before grilling
for the first time.
CAUTION:
Operating
your grill on the "Hi" setting
for longer than five minutes
may damage
certain
parts of your grill.
Preheating
To preheat,
light your grill on "Hi", lower the lid, and
follow this timetable:
for high temperature
cooking,
preheat
grill 3 to 5 minutes;
for low temperature
cooking,
preheat
grill 3 minutes.
Preheating
is not
necessary
to slow cook.
Cooking
Temperature
High Setting:
The "Hi" control
knob setting
should
only be used to sear some meats,
pre-heat
your
grill the first 3-Sminutes
and for burning
food
residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after cooking
is
complete,
Never use the "Hi" setting
for extended
cooking.
Medium
to Low Settings:
Most recipes specify
medium
to low settings,
including
all smoking
and
rotisserie
cooking,
lean cuts of meat,
chicken,
and
fish.
An Important
Note About
Cooking
Temperature
The outside
grilling
area is not the controlled
environment
that your indoor
kitchen
is. Many
variables
can impact
the cooking
performance
of
your grill, including
outside
air temperature,
wind,
humidity,
and altitude,
Allow more cooking
time for
cold, wind, and higher altitudes.
We recommend
you
place the grill in an area protected
from wind.
Monitor your grill closely and rotate
foods as needed
to prevent
overcooking
and ensure
the most
delicious
results
every time.
Experimenting
makes
grilling
more fun and interesting!
The middle and back primary
cooking
areas offer the
highest
heat for searing
and grilling.
The warming
rack offers
medium
heat for preparing
breads
and firm vegetables
like potatoes
and corn
and keeping food warm.
The front primary
cooking
area offers less heat and
is ideal for preparing
delicate
foods and also for
keeping
cooked foods warm.
Direct
Cooking
The direct
cooking
method
is used when food is
placed directly
over the lit grill burners,
This method
is ideal for searing,
grilling,
deep frying
and
whenever
you want foods to have an open-flame
barbecued
taste.
The lid can be open or closed
depending
on your
preference,
Indirect
Cooking
The indirect
cooking
method
is used for most foods.
Do not place the food directly
over a burner to use
this method,
Instead,
the food should
be placed
on the left or right side of your grill with the burner
lit on the opposite
side or in the center with the
center
burners
off, Indirect
cooking
must be done
with the lid down,
Prepare
Cooking
Grates
for
Grilling
Greasing
the cooking
surface
will help keep foods
from sticking
and reduce
the amount
of cleanup
required.
Use a brush to apply a thin layer of
cooking
oil or vegetable
shortening
onto each
cooking
grate,
We do not suggest
spray type oils
unless they are specified
for high-temperature
cooking.
Be sure to coat the entire
cooking
surface
including
edges and any areas with chipped
porcelain.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices
dripping
from grilled food can
cause flare-ups.
Flare-ups
work to color and flavor
your foods, so some flare-ups are preferred.
Too
many can work against
you though.
Reduce
flare-ups
by trimming
away excess fat, using the
indirect
method
of grilling,
and grilling
using lower
temperatures.
Using
the Back Burner
(If
Equipped)
The back burner
is used when cooking
with a
rotisserie,
which
is sold separately,
Please follow
the points
below when using the back burner.
1.
Always
remove
the warming
rack,
2.
Do not use the main burners
when the back
burner
is in use.
3.
Use an aluminum
foil pan to catch the juices
that drip down from the food.
Allowing
grease
to gather
in the bottom
of the
firebox
could create
a grease fire the next time
the main burners
are used,
27
Never
line the bottom
of the firebox
with
aluminum
foil, sand or any substance
that will
restrict
the flow of grease into the grease tray
or cup.
Before
each
use, pull out the grease tray and
remove
all grease
and food debris to prevent
a
grease fire hazard.
Your
grill will
get very
hot.
Always
wear a
flame
retardant
BBQ Mitt when cooking
on your
grill. Never lean over cooking
areas while using
grill. Do not touch
cooking
surfaces,
lid, grill
housing
or other
parts while grill is in operation,
or until the grill has cooled down after use.
