OPERATING THE GRILL:
Never use Charcoal
or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings
and
instructions
contained
in the preceding
sections
of this manual.
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
•
In manufacturing
and preserving
the components
of your grill, oil residue may be present on the
burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.
•
Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes
on "HIGH" to burn
off these residual
oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
Prior to use, it is recommended
that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces
are
at the desired temperatures
to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the
main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the
preheat period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
Flare-ups are a part of cooking
meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a
gas grill. Excessive
flare-ups
can over-cook
your food and cause a dangerous
situation
for you and
your grill. Excessive
flare-ups
result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this
should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners
until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups
may occur.
•
DO NOT leave your grill unattended
while in use.
•
DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize
grill.
•
DO NOT use water to extinguish
flare-ups.
•
Have fire extinguisher
readily accessible
suitable for use with gas appliances.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
•
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
•
Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken
or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
•
Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate
the grill through
the
drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
•
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the
other (unlit) side of the grill.
