CookingInstrucons

InialLighng:Whenlitfortherstme,thegasgrillemitsaslightodor.Thisisanormaltemporary

condioncausedbythe“burn-in”ofinternalpaintsandlubricantsusedinthemanufacturingprocessand

does not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.

MainBurnerUse:Whensearingfoods,werecommendpreheangthegrillbyoperangallmainburners

inthehighposionwiththelidclosedforapproximately10minutes.Foodcookedforshortperiodsof

me(sh,vegetables)canbegrilledwiththelidopen.Cookingwiththelidclosedwillensurehigher,more

eventemperaturesthatcanreducecookingmeandcookmeatmoreevenly.Foodthathasacooking

melongerthan30minutes,suchasroasts,canbecookedindirectly(withtheburnerlitoppositetothe

foodplacement).Whencookingveryleanmeats,suchaschickenbreastsorleanpork,thegridscanbe

oiledbeforepre-heangtoreducescking.Cookingmeatwithahighdegreeoffatcontentcancreate

are-ups.Eithertrimthefatorreducetemperaturestoinhibitthis.Shouldaare-upoccur,movefood

awayfromtheamesandreducetheheat.Leavethelidopen.SeeYourAllSeasonGrillcookbookby
