Before using the grill, plan what you want to cook and how you want to cook it.
The grill design allows you to tailor your cook with different cooking methods, areas and
grate types. For optimal results, take advantage of the entire grill to move food between
high and low heat zones at different stages of the cook.
PLANNING YOUR COOK
Sear burner (some models only)
Delivers intense, even heat that
builds flavor and texture. Use
only with the sear burner grate
to create perfect sear lines and
surface browning.
Sear meat at a high heat, then
move to a lower heat zone
before resting to achieve
required doneness. Switch
order for reverse-sear method.
See 'Using the sear burner.'
Direct grilling
Food is cooked on grates
directly over lit burners.
Use this method for food that
takes less than 20 minutes to
cook or for searing larger items
before indirect cooking or
further grilling at a lower heat
setting.
Indirect cooking
Food is cooked on grates
beside the heat source, with
hood closed to maintain heat.
Use for food that takes longer
than 20 minutes to cook such
as thicker pieces of meat.
17
PLANNING YOUR COOK
Grill burners
The grill burners deliver a range
of heat intensities. Choose
cooking zones and heat
settings to cook a variety of
foods using direct or indirect
heat.
Use with radiant trays and
double-sided grates to cook
and brown food. See 'Using
the grates.'
Side burners
Use the side burners to heat,
boil or stir fry food.
Rotisserie (some models only)
Use the rotisserie to slowly
cook food. Intense, even heat
gives roasts a crust. See 'Using
the rotisserie.'
18
SETTING UP THE GRILL
Before you begin
z
Inspect the gas piping or hose for signs of cuts, wear or abrasion before each use.
Replace any damaged parts before using the grill.
z
Season the grates. See 'Using the grates.'
1. Ensure all dials are turned off,
then lift the grill hood.
2. Position the grates
and secondary cooking
rack according to your
cooking plan. If using the
rotisserie, set this up first.
See 'Using the rotisserie.'
3. Pull drip tray out to check

USING THE ROTISSERIE (SOME MODELS ONLY)
The rotisserie delivers intense and even heat to food to achieve a crust on roasts or to
slowly cook large food items up to 50 lb.
Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit. Avoid using the rotisserie in
windy conditions.
Tying meat and poultry
Use butcher string or dental floss to tie meat and poultry before putting them on the
rotisserie rod.
We recommend selecting a roast that is a consistent size and tying it in three areas to
ensure even cooking. For poultry, tie the wings and legs to the body to secure them while
the rotisserie is turning.

rod far enough to allow food to
be centered. Turn the L-shaped
screw to secure it.
Slide food and second fork
onto rod, with fork tines offset.
Turn screw to secure.
Forks are sharp. Take care
when handling.
