Using Your Grill - OCI OCIE26BQ Use And Care Manual

Each main burner is rated between 17,000 and 28,000 BTU depending on the grill model. The grill burn-
ers encompass the entire cooking area. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants. The igniter button is located
in the upper right portion of the valve panel.
NOTE: A hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
l
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the "HI" heat set-
ting for Searing and then turned down to medium. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may
be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without
burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting
near the end of the cooking time.
1. Make sure the grill has been gas leak tested and is properly located.
2. Remove any packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual.
4. Turn the control knob to "HI" and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the
appliance preheat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control
knob may be set to any position between "HI" and "LO".
NOTE: All 36" and 48" models feature an Infra-red Sear Zone. This Sear Zone can be used for
grilling items such as fish, meat & poultry. Pre-Heat Sear Zone Infra-red burner for 1
minutes prior to use. Once food is properly seared lower the burner setting to desired grilling
temp.
WARNING: When using grill burners DO NOT use rotis burner as this may cause injury or
severe burns.
