Burn-Off
[] Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter, ignite the burners, lower the Lid, and
operate grill on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.
CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH
setting for longer than five minutes may damage
certain parts of your grill. Do not leave your grill unat
tended when in use.
Preheating
[] To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid
and follow this timetable:
• For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5
minutes.
• For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.
• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
[] High setting: The HIGH Control Knob setting should
only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes
and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after cooking is complete.
CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH setting
for longer than five minutes may damage certain parts
of your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in
use.
Indirect Cooking
[] The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place
your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light
the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking
must be done with the Lid down.
Prepare Cooking Grids for Grilling
[] Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods
from sticking during the cookout and reduces the
amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a
thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto
each Cooking Grid before each cookout. We do not
suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for
high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire
cooking surface including edges and any areas with
chipped porcelain.
Flare-Ups
[] The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,
distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an
open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.
To minimize flare-ups use a drip pan under foods
that produce a lot of grease, like ribs.
[] Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rotisserie cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures
[] The suggested heat settings and cooking times
shown in the following pages are approximate.
Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen,
variables including outside temperatures, direction
and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will
affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these
condition vary, and no two backyards are alike, we
offer this guide as a convenience. We recommend
you monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as
needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most
delicious results every time.
• The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the
highest heat for searing and grilling.
• The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for
preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes
and corn.
• The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is
ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping
cooked foods warm.
Direct Cooking
[] The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over
the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill
Lid to be open. This method is ideal for searing,
grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to
have an open-flame barbecued taste.
A-1
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
• Never line the bottom of the grill housing or
Savor Plates_vith aluminum foil, sand or any
substance that will restrict the flow of grease
into the Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
• Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease
Tray and remove all grease and food debris to
prevent grease fire hazard.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt or
catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences
and overhangs) or sources of ignition including
pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill.
Never lean over cooking areas while using grill.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing
or other parts while grill is in operation, or until
the grill has cooled down after use.
