ETTING
•
The high flame setting is too hot for direct cooking. The high flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finish cooking on medium or
low flame settings.
• Use high flame setting with lid closed to preheat the grill for 5 minutes before cooking and with lid closed for a maximum of 5 minutes after
cooking to burn off grease drippings.
•
Use medium flame setting for direct cooking of steaks, pork chops, chicken and hamburgers.
E
•
Use low flame setting for roasts and rotisserie foods.
n
•
Thick steaks will finish with a better texture and more juice if first seared on high flame setting and then cooked on low flame setting.

i
the food's flavor and lessen flare ups.

REPARATION
• Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow the following instructions:
• Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining fat to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.
• Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.
• Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.
• Placing frozen food on very hot porcelain cooking grids can cause temperature shock and crack the finish.
• Salt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.
• Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.
• Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special delicate food cooking grids. (see below)
• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar based sauces no sooner than the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• Turn food with tongs or spatula; piercing tends to dry out meat.
