The infrared searing burner (optional) cooks with a powerful
radiant heat.
Light the infrared burner following the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
found this manual or printed on the grill’s drip tray. When lighting
manually, use the wire extension match holder included with
this kit to safely hold a lit match. Follow these guidelines when
operating the Infrared burner:
• DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until the infrared
burner glows orange (Fig. 34-3). Drippings are heated and
evaporate instead of sticking to and impairing burner function.
• Always leave your burner on (after cooking) for an
additional 5 minutes, to allow for a burnoff period. This
is important to keep your burner clean and operating
properly.
• Refer to the CARE, CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE GUIDE
provided with your grill for details on deep cleaning.
• When not in use, always cover the infrared burner with the
stainless-steel cover. This protects the burner from drippings
(from other cooking), water, airborne particles, and foreign
objects (Fig. 34-2).
Important: Clean burners allow the gas to circulate and burn
over the entire heating surface for powerful and
even cooking.
• Do not strike or scrape the ceramic portion of the burner as
it may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 34-2).
Note: Digital thermometer does not give accurate readings
for zones using infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner, always
place a cooking grid above it. The cooking grid
must be removed for rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the infrared burner with
the protective cover in place.
WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the unit is cold
or with a well-insulated long-handled tool or heat resistant
gloves.
Drips and particles evaporate before hitting infrared burner
when cooking at the maximum setting.
Note: Flavor grids are not to be used with infrared burners.
To ensure proper operation, all infrared burners (back and
main) must be operated on the HI setting for a minimum of 10
minutes. Thereafter, the flame may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner flame when
operated on low, as it may blow out in high-wind
conditions.
