Seasoning your Fire
Stone legacy 20 i/e Grill

Getting Started

1. Please familiarize yourself with the safety
guidelines at the front of this manual.

2. Be sure the grill is plugged in and stationed
on a clean and dry surface.

3. Open the grill lid.

4. For first time START-UP procedure, we
recommend following the steps below to
prepare your grill for optimum performance
by staging a proper initial “seasoning / burn
off” process.

Step 1.

BEFORE IGNITION, take a soft clean cloth and
apply a thin coating of cooking oil or olive oil to
the cloth and lightly wipe on both the grate and
the searing plate of the grill.

Step 2.

You’ll be seasoning both surfaces of the grill one
side at a time following the ignition instructions

below. Be sure to allow time for each side to
fully heat up and release any initial smoke
during this break-in / seasoning stage.

Step 3.

Fire Stone COOK

1. First, turn on the grill by depressing the black
OFF / ON rocker switch on the front panel to
the right – for the ON position.

2. Turn the – far right dial COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
to start the GRILL SIDE heating element.
The Fire Stone COOK NUMBER GRILL

™

is
designed to automatically operate at HIGH
TEMPERATURE in this mode.

3. Allow 5 to 7 minutes for the GRILL SIDE
surface to reach its full temperature to
complete the initial seasoning process or to

page 4.

2. To begin SEARING or GRILLING - push the Fire
Stone Legacy OFF / ON rocker switch to the
right for the ON position.

3. Next, rotate the far right searing & grilling
control dial clockwise for searing...or
counterclockwise for grilling, roasting or
convection baking.

How to use the FIRE STONE
Cook Control System™:

1. First, follow the start-up instructions under the
Getting Started section shown at the top of
page 4. Pre-heat the grill for 5 to 7 minutes in
the mode of your choice – either the LEFT
Grilling & Roasting side, or the RIGHT Searing
Plate side. After the grill mode you’ve selected
is up to temperature, place the food on the pre­heated surface and insert the Cook Control
System™ Monitor Probe into the food for
worry-free controlled cooking.

For best results, be sure to
insert the probe into the

deepest part of your fillet or
roast.

2. Set the audible temperature
“controlled cooking” monitor
feature by dialing in your Cook
Number™ to correlate with the
food you are grilling or roasting.

3. When the probe detects the food has reached
its proper temperature, the alarm will sound

and the red lights will illuminate.

Remember – thick cuts of meat such as steaks or
roasts will continue to cook after they have been
removed from the grilling surface.

4. Be sure to turn the far right control dial OFF by
pushing the black OFF / ON rocker switch to the
left OFF position, and unplug your grill after
each use.

Searing

TIP: You may want to lightly coat

the searing plate with oil or
non-stick cooking spray prior
to use.

Started outlined on page 4.

2. For a professional seared finish, place meat or
fillet on pre-heated SEARING PLATE located on
the right side of the grill.

3. Sear meat or fillet approximately 30-45 seconds
on each side for rare, 45-60 seconds on each
side for medium, 60-90 seconds on each side for
well-done, and slightly longer for cuts thicker

coat the steel grate with oil or non-stick
cooking spray prior to use.

3. For turkey, whole chicken, or roast, follow
recipe instructions for preparation, basting,
etc. as you normally would for indoor range
cooking. A V-shaped roasting rack is
recommended. Make sure to use a shallow
roasting pan to catch drippings.

4. Remove the COOK CONTROL
SYSTEM™ Monitor Probe from
holder and insert probe into
thick part of meat but NOT
touching the bone (see photo).
For steaks, fillets and roasts,
insert probe tip as near the
center of the meat as possible.

use the probe heat shield, or high-temperature
gloves, when inserting and removing probe from
meat or fillet. NEVER let heat shield remain
inside hood when cooking.

5. Turn COOK CONTROL SYSTEM™ dial to
desired setting.

convection cooking do
the rest. Keeping the
hood closed is
important to the
convection process.

its proper temperature, the alarm will sound

and the red lights will illuminate.

8. When finished, wipe COOK CONTROL SYSTEM™
Probe clean and return it to holder.

9. Turn the far right control dial OFF by pushing
the black OFF / ON rocker switch to the left OFF
position, and unplug your grill after each use.

for breads and grill roasted pizza, can enhance the
quality of your baking. Experiment and discover
what works best for you.

1. Follow the steps for Getting Started outlined on
page 4.

2. For professional baking, place pan, sheet or dish
on grill.

3. Close hood, turn far right dial counterclockwise
to ignite grill, and wait for grill hood

keep the hood closed as you normally would for
indoor range baking. This is important to the
convection process.

Cleaning and Maintenance

ALWAYS BE SURE THE GRILL IS UNPLUGGED
BEFORE CLEANING

Periodically, remove the grilling grates and
searing plate and wash in soap and warm water.
Use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean the
cooking grids.

CAUTION: Never try to clean the cooking grids
until they are cool to the touch.

Cleaning the Grease Tray and Receptacle

To reduce the chance of fire, the grease draining
tray and grease receptacle should be inspected
before each grill use. Remove any grease and
wash aluminum tray and receptacle with soap
and warm water– or discard and replace with a
new aluminum tray.

As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep this grill in top operating
condition. By following these cleaning
procedures on a regular basis, your Fire Stone
Legacy Grill will stay clean and work properly
with minimum effort.

WARNING Fire & Shock Risk

1. Remove the grilling grate on left for cleaning
– and also to clean the vaporizer plate below
the heating element. Also – remove the
searing plate on the right for cleaning and re­seasoning as needed.

2. Using a putty knife, carefully scrape the area
below the heating element on the left side for
optimal performance.

Be careful NOT to scrape the heating element
directly.

WARNING Fire & Shock Risk

Do not line the bottom of the grill housing with
aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will
restrict the flow of grease into the grease
draining tray and receptacle.

■ Failure to comply with these instructions could

result in a fire or explosion which could
cause property damage, serious bodily
injury or death.

CAUTION: Be sure the grill is OFF and cool before
cleaning.

Annual Cleaning of the Grill Interior

Burning-off the grill after every cookout will
keep it ready for instant use. However, once a
year you should give the entire grill a thorough
cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
Follow these steps:

1. Unplug the grill.

2. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a
stiff wire brush, and wash with soap and
warm water. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter,
wash the grill using soap and warm water. Use a
wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use
a stiff wire or brass brush that might scratch the
stainless steel surface.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color.
Follow these steps for the best cleaning results:

1. Remove dirt or grease using hot water & soap
and a soft cloth. Then, polish and treat the
stainless surfaces using only an approved
stainless steel care product. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers as they will damage the
stainless steel surface as well as destroy the
printed graphic surfaces used for operating
instructions.

2. Finish by wiping your grill clean with a soft
cloth and allow to air dry before starting the
grill.

Cleaning the Grease Tray

Pull the tray out from the BACK SIDE of the grill.
This is also a replaceable tray feature and can be
ordered from our Fire Stone Customer Care Parts
Center found on our web site at
www.firestonehp.com
