form an oven to cook the food 'indirectly'. Monitor the temperature using the temperature gauge on the lid. If the
internal heat becomes too high, turn the burners to the 'low' position. It is not necessary or advisable to have all of the
burners on high when the hood is closed. If the hood is opened during cooking to check on the progress of the food,
please allow extra cooking time for the grill to regain its temperature. Take care when opening the hood as hot steam
can be released upon opening.
Warming Rack
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. Always
check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.
Flare-up control
Flare-ups will often occur when food is grilled as fat and juices fall onto flame diffuser. Some fat is necessary to give
the food its barbecued flavor but excessive fat can result in a flare-up. To avoid flare-ups, trim excess fat from meat and
poultry before grilling, use cooking sauces and marinades sparingly, and try to avoid low quality cuts of meat or meat
products that are high in fat and water contents.
Fat Fires
The drip tray must be emptied and cleaned of food debris after each cooking session. If the grill is to be used for large
gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off and cool the grill every two hours to remove food debris from the drip tray
and clean the drip tray. The time between cleaning may need to be reduced if very fatty foods or low quality meat
products are being cooked. Failure to do this may result in a fat fire, which may cause injury and could seriously
damage the grill.
In the event of a fat fire;
If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the 'off' position
Turn off the gas at the cylinder
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the grill and wait until the fire has extinguished.
Do not close the hood of the grill.
NEVER DOUSE A GRILL WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE A POWDER
TYPE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY
If the fire worsens, contact your local Fire Department for assistance.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Never handle hot parts of the grill with unprotected hands.
Never douse the grill with water when its surfaces are hot.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
General
Regularly clean your grill between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
Do not leave the grill uncovered and exposed to the elements when not in use. Even when stored outside or inside
with a cover it is possible for mold to grow on any fat remaining on parts of the grill. This should be cleaned off
smooth surfaces with hot soapy water.
