Breaking in Your grill
When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the main burner(s) on "HIGH" for
20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the main burners off. This tempers the grill.
Preheating grill
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After
lighting, close the hood and preheat the grill on "HIGH" for 15 minutes. This preheating will
ensure that the cooking grid and grate are hot enough for proper grilling.
CAUTION: Do not cover the grids during the preheating period.
WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires
getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property
damage and bodily harm.
Open or closed hood for grilling
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with the lid
closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum "searing" temperatures. This
method will also produce more "flare up", speed the cooking procedure and will give you a
more robust, smoky, outdoor flavor. If you prefer cooking slower with less flare up, we suggest
the lid-open method.
