Cooking Methods; Grilling Chart - KitchenAid KFRU368T Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

For optimal use of the SureSear™ system, the following cooking
methods are recommended.
Direct Heat
Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates
directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down.
If hood is in the up position, total cooking times may be longer.
Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural
juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of
time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a
flavorful grilled coating.
Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method
when it is windy.
Knobs have High, Medium and Low settings for flame
adjustment.
Heat settings indicated are approximate.
Grilling times are affected by weather conditions.

Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill
grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted
burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
If possible, turn on 2 burners. Cook with the hood down. This will
shorten the cooking time.
Indirect Cooking
Place food only on the grill grate over the OFF burners.
