Your grill is designed to reach a temperature that you set by adjusting a valve that in turn adjusts the amount of gas
that goes through each burner. This valve is located behind your knob and is the key to your heat and fuel
consumption.
Furthermore, the way to ignite the burners is through the valves, so please understand the importance of the
valves/knobs and the position/care taken with respect to them.
• Example: If you forget to turn a knob off and the burner is not lit, then you will have a gas leak out of that
valve. You must be aware of your grill’s status and be responsible!
When you first ignite your grill, burn the grill to get rid of any odors or trace debris that may be left over from
manufacturing and transit. This is done by operating your grill at the “HIGH” setting with the hood closed for
no more than 5 minutes. After you have “burned off” the grill, you are ready for cooking!
Burner Use – Indirect, Direct, Sear, Rotisserie Cooking
Controlling how much gas flows through your burner determines the size of your flame. The ideal flame will be blue,
with no yellow tip, and with no excessive noise coming out of the burner. If you happen to have any of these
problems (yellow tip or excessive/unusual noise), wait until the grill has completely cooled and safe to:
• Check the air adjustment screw on the side of the burner itself (called the
Air Venturi) and also the adjustment screw that resides directly below the orifice to ensure proper gas flow
into the burner from the valve.
• There are many reasons that can cause poor flames and heat but none are
more serious than a gas leak, so always pay attention for the odor of gas (NG or LP), but do not also forget
to clean your burners (see Care and Maintenance section of this manual)!
You can use your grill for direct cooking, indirect cooking, sear cooking, and/or rotisserie cooking:
For Direct Cooking, you simply cook your food over a direct flame that is hot and quick to cook. Direct cooking,
however, can burn your food quickly. Pay attention closely if you choose this method!
Indirect Cooking is used for larger cuts of meats and anything that you intend to keep nice and juicy!
• For indirect cooking, turn off the burner located directly under the food being cooked and adjust the
exterior burners flame so that you create a slow, constant and even cooking environment for your food!
