HEAT SETTINGS:
• HI AND SEAR: Use for quick searing of meats and vegetables.
• MED: Grill steaks, pork chops, and hamburgers. You may also sear meats on medium before finishing them on low.
• LO: Use for cooking dense vegetables, roasts, thick cuts of meat, poultry, and fish.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL GRILLING:
• Never leave food unattended.
• Cooking with the hood closed will decrease cooking time, provide an even temperature,
conserve gas, lessen flare-ups, and improve flavor.
• Do not place food on aluminum foil for cooking. Grease trapped in the foil may cause flare-ups.
• Trim excess fat from meats and slit the remaining fat at two-inch increments to avoid flare-ups and curling.
Fatty meats may be cooked indirectly on lower heat settings.
• When opening the hood, wear a barbecue mitt that covers your wrist. Stand to the side of the grill and raise the hood slowly.
• Allow meat to defrost in the refrigerator overnight, rather than microwaving it, to help retain juices.
• Apply salt to meat only after cooking to prevent it from drying out.
• Baste meat with barbecue sauce or other sugar-based sauces only during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
• Turn food only once, halfway through cooking time.
• Use a spatula or tongs to turn meat, instead of piercing with a fork, to prevent juices from escaping.
• Brush vegetables, lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry, fish, and seafood with oil to prevent sticking.
• If using bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
• To burn off grease drippings after cooking, operate the grill on high for five minutes.
When the grill cools down, remove and clean the drip tray.
CLEANING THE OUTDOOR GRILL
GENERAL CLEANING
CERAMIC BRIQUETTES AND BRIQUETTE TRAY
• It is not necessary to clean the ceramic briquettes after every grilling. They will burn themselves clean during the next cooking cycle.
If desired, operate the grill on high for 10–12 minutes to burn the briquettes clean.
• Periodically, the briquette trays need to be cleaned. Allow briquette trays to cool.
Remove trays from the grill, shake off loose debris and wipe trays clean.
SMOKER BOX
The smoker box and lid can easily be removed from the outdoor grill for cleaning.
Empty contents and clean with warm water and a mild detergent.
GRILL DRIP TRAY
The grill drip tray collects grease and food particles. Allow the drip tray and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the tray out and wipe
it clean. Make sure the drip tray is fully inserted back into the grill. To avoid a grease fire, the drip tray should be cleaned after every use.
