Care And Maintenance - Igloo IGW 400 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

Roasting (hooded grills only)
A roasting hood allows you to roast or bake in a similar way as in a conventional gas oven. For best results place
the food you wish the bake or roast in a metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking grill. Turn the
burners directly under the food to the 'OFF' position and the burners opposite the food the 'Medium' setting.
Close the lid and this will 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.
