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/LIGHT',
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.
To slow cook,
preheating
is not
necessary.
Cooking
Temperature
High
Setting:
The "HI"
control
knob setting
should
only be used to sear some meats,
pre-heat
your grill the first 3-5 minutes
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 SMOKER
DRAWER
Smoking
gives food a distinctive,
delicious
flavor. You will find a variety
of wood chip or
pellets
available
for use in smoking
grilled
foods.
Start your
grill and allow it to reach
the desired
cooking
temperature
for the food
you are grilling.
Wear an insulated
cooking
mitt and pull the Smoker
Drawer
out of the
grill and fill with
your
prepared
smoking
chips.
Be sure you have prepared
the chips
per the manufacturer's
suggestions.
Dried
herbs and spices may also be added to
produce
different
flavors.
Return the Smoker
Box to the grill and the heat will produce
smoke
and season
the food. Adding
more
chips during
the grilling
process
may be
necessary.
USING
THE REMOVABLE
ICE CHEST
Your gas grill comes
with a removable
stainless
steel ice chest with a plastic
liner.
This ice chest is designed
to keep beverages
and product
in sealed
containers
cool for a
short period
of time.
We recommend
you do
not store food
in this ice chest.
Failure to comply
with these
instructions
may
result
in a hazardous
situation
which,
if not
avoided,
may result
in injury.
Keep grill area clear and free from
combustible
materials,
gasoline
and other
flammable
vapors
and liquids.
Do not obstruct
the flow of air for combustion
and ventilation.
Keep the ventilation
openings
of the tank
enclosure
cabinet
free and clear of debris.
