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 on the top of the heat tents. 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.

• 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 drip pan.

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.

WARNING

ROTISSERIE COOKING:

• This grill has pre-drilled mounting holes for a rotisserie. Do not use a rotisserie not specifically

manufactured for this grill.

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions in the owner’s manual provided with the rotisserie. Save

instructions for future reference.

• Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.

• DO NOT use back rotisserie burner when main burners are in use.

• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes:

• In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANSI-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition

• In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code – CSA C22.1

• The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.

• All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.

WARNING

GRILL COOKING TIPS

CLEANLINESS
