WARNING: SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
SPECIAL NOTE ON WINDY CONDITIONS
Never use the grillinwindy conditions.
If located in a consistently windy area
(oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak
will be required on the rear wall and both
sides of the grill. Windbreak construction
is the responsibility of the owner and must
adhere to the specified clearances listed
in the Installation Instructions.
As a high-performance gas appliance,
your grill requires significant amounts of air
to support the combustion process. Your grill
has been engineered to take air in through
the control panel area and exhaust
the combustion byproducts out through
the gap between the front and rear hoods.
Using your grill in windy conditions can
disrupt the proper flow of air through your
grill, leading to reduced performance or,
in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup
in the control panel area. This can lead
to problems such as burn hazards when
the control panel surfaces become too hot
to touch and, ultimately, failure of the wiring
and internal components if the conditions
persist.
If you have a freestanding grill, it is best to
position the unit so the prevailing wind blows
into the front control panel, thus supporting
the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back
of the grill directly are the most likely to cause
problems, although wind blowing along the
hood gap can also be problematic.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from the plug.
If an extension cord is required to operate
the grill, use only a grounded cord approved
for outdoor use. Use as short of cord as possible
and avoid wet areas.

The Grill
Professiona! Outdoor Grills & Cooktops
Using
the grill
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Host foods are cooked at the HI heat
setting for the entire cooking time with the hood
in the open position. 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 and is
usually done with the hood closed.
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.
Do not leave the grill unattended while
cooking.
1. Light the grill using the instructions in the drip
tray or by following the instructions in the
Tolight the gril! section of this manual.
2. Turn all main burner control knobs to HI and
preheat the grill for 10-!5 minutes. The hood
isto be closed during preheating.
3. Place the food on the grill and cook
to the desired doneness. The control knob
may be set to any position to adjust the heat
setting if necessary.
NOTE:The hot grill sears the food, sealing
in the juices. The longer you preheat the grill,
the faster the meat browns and the darker
the grill marks will be.
Grilling
hints
When turning the meat over, always use
a spatula as it will not puncture the meat,
allowing the juices to run out. This will help to
keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once,
as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly
turned. Season or salt the meat after it has
been cooked; seasonings have a tendency
to dry the meat out if applied before grilling.
Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat
or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from
curling while they are being cooked, slit the fat
around the edges at about 2-inch intervals.
To test for doneness, make a small cut in
the center of the meat.
The doneness of meat is affected by
the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to
cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness.
A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have
it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
isaffected by the temperature of the meat
when you start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of doneness desired
also affects the time.
The U.S.Department of Agriculture says,
"Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it to only 1/40°F.means some
food poisoning organisms may survive."
(Source: Safe Food Book.Your Kitchen Guide.
USDAlatest edition.)
When defrosting meats it is recommended
that it be done overnight in the refrigerator
as opposed to a microwave. This in general
yields ajuicier cut of meat.
Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly
cooked by using a meat thermometer.
Warming

The rotisserie sgstem is designed to cook items
from the back of the grill using infrared heat.
The rotisserie motor has three speeds (High,
Medium and Low)and iscapable of turning up
to a 15 lb.cut of meat or poultrg. The actual
capacitg islimited bg clearance.
IMPORTANT:To prevent damage, the rotisserie
motor must be removed and stored when using
the grill main burners.
The rotisserie burner, located at the back of the
grill, is an infrared tgpe which provides intense
searing radiant heat. This intense heat is
magnificent for searing in the natural juices
and nutrients found in qualitg cuts of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking
temperatures in about i minute. The orange/red
glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

-- Basting pan
Basting
pan
The location of the burner allows the placement
of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath
the food to collect juices and drippings for
basting and gravy. It also minimizes grease
drippings from accumulating on the heat
diffusers and in the grease tray.
Toflavor the contents of the basting pan, you
can add herbs, onion, garlic or spices. Hams are
especially good with the addition of pineapple
slices and brown sugar to the basting pan.

the center of the food; then slide the second
fork, with the prongs toward the food, onto
the spit rod.
3. Center the food between the locating grooves
on the spit rod. Pushthe forks firmly together.
When cooking foods such as multiple chickens,
always place the thickest portion of the food
nearer the center of the spit rod.
4. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may
be necessary to wrap the food with butcher's
string to secure any loose portions. Never use
nylon or plastic string.
5. Once the food is secure, insert the pointed
end of the spit rod into the motor and lower
the flat end onto the rollers. Place the basting
pan beneath the food. It is normal for the spit

the smoker chip support plate.
CAUTION:
During extended roasting periods, it is normal
to add fresh wood chips and water to the box
several times.
If the wood chips do flame up, add a small
amount of water to the smoker box to
extinguish the flame, either after lifting
the hood by the handle or through the water
hole. This should be done carefully using
heavy oven mitts.

- WARNING:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners
or orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow away from the
burner. This can cause a fire or explosion that
could result in serious injury.
You should inspect the burners at least once
a year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas inconjunction with
the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill or cooktop burners do not reach
temperature.
3. The grill or cooktop burners heat unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exists,clean the burners immediately.
Seethe Main gril! burners and the Orificessections
in Careand Cleaning.
Grill grate(s)
The best time to clean the grill grates is
immediately after cooking is completed and
after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque
mitt to protect your hand from the heat and
steam. Dipa brass bristle barbeque brush in
cold tap water and scrub the hot grate. Dip
the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam,
created as water contacts the hot grill, assists
the cleaning process by softening any food
particles. The food particles should fall into the
drip tray. If the grill is allowed to cool before
cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.
Forharder baked-on food particles, remove the
grill grate and soak for about one hour in warm
water. Lightly scrub with a Scotch BriteC_pad.
The grill grates may also be cleaned in
a dishwasher.
