Z WARNING
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.
Failure
to comply with these instructions
may result in serious bodily injury.
Burn-Off
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
will want to "bum off' the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter. Just ignite the burners, lower the Lid,
and operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five
minutes.
CAUTION:
Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for longer
than five minutes may damage certain parts of your
grill. Do not leave your grill unattended.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid and
followthis 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.
Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly,
the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place
your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack mounted
inside your grill bowl and light the 2 outer grill Burners.
Either way, indirect cooking must be done with the
Lid down.
Seasoning Cooking Grids
Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of
cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each
Cooking Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface includ-
ing edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert
the Cooking Grids into your warm grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,
distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an
open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.
Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a
ruined meal.
Z WARN
I NG
Do not line the bottom of the grill housing
with aluminum
foil, sand or any substance
that will restrict the flow of grease into the
Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
Cooking Temperatures
High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up,
searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue
off the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the
HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium to Low Settings:
Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotis-
serie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the
temperature and the amount of wind outside your
home.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over
the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking
requires
the
Grill Lid to be open. This method is ideal for many
recipes including deep frying, searing and whenever
you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame
barbecued taste.
